A Bill to make provision to ensure that the United Kingdom has absolute control over the right to prevent non-UK citizens from entering the United Kingdom; to determine the circumstances in which non-UK citizens may be required to leave the United Kingdom; and for connected purposes.
This bill would give the UK government clearer and stronger power to decide who can enter the country and when non-UK citizens must leave. It covers when non-UK nationals can be prevented from entering and the rules governing their removal, with related border-control powers.
The bill is at the second reading stage in the Commons. If it progresses, it would move to committee stage and further readings in both Houses.
