This conference focused on the future of immigration policy in the UK, as policymakers and stakeholders considered priorities ahead for the new Parliament.
The discussion was informed by the ongoing implementation of the Immigration Act 2014 - including initiatives to prevent illegal immigrants from accessing public services and the labour market - and brought out latest thinking on the future regulation of working, student and family routes to migration and settlement in the UK. Sessions also included stakeholder perspectives on the key socio-economic challenges facing the UK’s immigration framework, particularly in relation to how policy can support economic growth and UK competitiveness, as well as reduce pressure on the demand for public services.
Attendees included key policymakers and Central Government officials with a wide range of interested stakeholder groups - including lawyers, local authorities, universities, colleges, business leaders and campaign groups, as well as charities and academics.
