Impacts of different types of new arrivals on local communities, the economy and public services (monetised and non-monetised costs and benefits).

Background

Science and analysis play a crucial role in providing the best evidence base to inform policy, and showing the best way forward within a given policy framework. The Home Office’s operational work covers travel and the border, working with the vast majority who comply with the rules and with those that may not: controlling and managing the border; administering passports, visas and asylum applications; applying and enforcing immigration rules.
