In the context of Government’s reaffirmed aims to reduce annual net migration to the tens of thousands, as well as the Brexit White Paper - which references intentions to bring forward an immigration bill - this timely conference focused on future options for UK immigration policy.
Sessions focused on the regulation of EU and non-EU migration in the exit scenarios that are likely to follow withdrawal from the EU - with perspectives on how an evolving framework can effectively govern work, student and family routes of migration; the future for EU freedom of movement; and priorities for maintaining the UK’s economic growth and international competitiveness in key sectors.
In the context of Europe’s continuing migration crisis, and as UK policymakers considered options for cooperation with international partners post-Brexit, delegates also considered challenges ahead for UK border controls, next steps for tackling irregular migration flows, as well as options for the UK’s asylum framework - including future involvement with the Common European Asylum System.
This conference brought together key policymakers with a range of stakeholders, including lawyers, local authorities, business groups, universities, colleges, campaign groups, economists and commentators, as well as representatives from national and trade press.
