We note the concerns raised in the evidence about the extent of the Home Office’s consultation with the Government of Guernsey on the Illegal Migration Bill. The Ministry of Justice’s Crown Dependency team should initiate a dialogue as soon as possible between the relevant officials in the Home Office and the Government of Guernsey so that concerns can be discussed and addressed for the future. The Ministry of Justice should review its guidance on the extension of UK legislation to the Crown Dependencies with a view to ensuring that sufficient emphasis is placed on the need for ongoing consultation—or, as the Minister said, to “remain in touch”—throughout the passage of a bill and as new versions and draft clauses are published.
