MRN e-briefing on the immigration cap - and how to respond

MRN has put together an e-briefing on the two immigration cap consultations underway and identified the key concerns which are being raised about the immigration cap. Please have a look at the e-briefing attached.

The government needs to hear about the very real contribution of migrants across the UK and of concerns about the impact of this policy on migrants’ rights nationally - information held by groups all over the UK. But the consultation questions which are being asked are pretty lengthy and some are quite technical. A number of smaller organisations have been saying that it's hard to see how the consultations relate to their work and that they may not have time to respond. It is important for as many groups as possible to respond to the consultation if they possibly can - even if it is just a very short response.

Alternatively, we'll be writing up the MRN response to the consultations next month and would be glad to include information from migrant and refugee community organisations who otherwise would not respond to the consultation.

We recommend that you look at the attached e-briefing, and then answer some or all of the below questions and send over to us.
