Background

The Government's response to the Brexit: UK-EU movement of people report was received on 13 December 2017. The Committee found that, in addition to being months overdue, the response failed to directly address many of the Committee's recommendations and conclusions and only partially addressed others.

Lord Jay of Ewelme has sent a letter to the Minister for Immigration, Caroline Nokes MP, inviting them to address the deficiencies in the Government's response.
