To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to publish any consultation undertaken by her Department on the creation of the Immigration Enforcement Competent Authority.
Answered on
16 December 2021
The creation of the Immigration Enforcement Competent Authority (IECA) was an internal restructure within the Home Office and no public consultation occurred. A full assessment of the Public Sector Equality Duty was undertaken and in line with our ongoing duty, will be kept under review.
The change is part of a wider approach to ensure decision making is streamlined and funding for the IECA is being built into our plans for the next fiscal year.
