answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>Well-managed migration is in everyone’s interests. But uncontrolled migration erodes public confidence, damages economies, and places people on the move in situations of great vulnerability. The UK is taking significant steps to tackle uncontrolled migration both in our domestic policy work and in our ODA-funded programmes by:</p><ul><li><p>Addressing the root causes of migration, through our targeted assistance for livelihoods, healthcare, education and economic development;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Tackling modern slavery and organised immigration crime;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Supporting enhanced border management;</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Providing critical humanitarian support and protection for vulnerable migrants, as well as offering voluntary return and vital reintegration support to those wishing to return home; and</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Supporting refugees to stay in a first safe country through our humanitarian and development work in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.</p></li></ul><p>The Global Compact for Migration is one way in which we are working to ensure that UK migration priorities are embedded throughout the international system. It is a step forward in international co-operation to tackle irregular migration and helpful framework to help us deliver our commitments under the Sustainable Development Goals.</p><p>The Compact is not legally binding. It creates a framework that will allow countries to work together to make migration more beneficial for everyone. It protects every State’s right to determine its own immigration policies, including in areas such as asylum, border controls and returns of illegal migrants.</p><p>I recently spoke to the APPGs on Migration and Refugees about the Migration Compact and attended the intergovernmental launch in Marrakech. We will issue a Written Ministerial Statement to update parliament.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 12/12/2018 17:13:09 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
