PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(25 March 2025)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent progress her Department has made on strengthening international cooperation to tackle organised immigration crime; and what assessment she has made of the potential impact of such cooperation on communities in South Wales.

Asked by:
Kanishka Narayan (Labour)

Strengthened international cooperation is essential to tackle the gangs who facilitate organised immigration crime (OIC) and this Government is providing a step change in leading the international community’s approach.

We have signed a series of landmark agreements including with Iraq, Germany, Italy as well as deepening our relationship with France, and this week the UK hosted a landmark international summit to tackle the shared threat of OIC and protect our collective border security.

We expect this to have a positive impact on tackling organised immigration crime to the benefit of the whole of the UK, including South Wales.
