Changes to improve the island’s immigration laws could be on the law books by the end of July, the national security minister signalled yesterday.
Wayne Caines said the latest report by the bipartisan Immigration Reform Group was submitted to him last month and had been turned into a memorandum that would soon be considered by the Cabinet.
He added: “After the Cabinet and respective parliamentary stakeholders opine and make recommendations, our immigration reform plans will be set out publicly, which will include, and not be limited to, key recommendations and implementation steps.
“We will then allow the public, including key stakeholders, to share their thoughts and provide feedback.”
“We believe that we will have key elements of our immigration reform debated and passed in the House of Assembly before the end of July 2019.”
