Migration in London is the focus of a new report
02 July 2010
London’s role as a hub of migration to the UK is highlighted in a new report by the Migrants’ Rights Network.
The presence of a diverse migrant population in London presents major challenges to the government's aim of simplifying and 'toughening up’ immigration management.
It is likely that there will be an increase in national pressure on city administrations to monitor and control migrants. As a result, we can expect that London’s policymakers will find it more challenging to maintain a progressive stance on immigration.
The report assers that the London Strategic Migration Partnership in particular is well-placed to develop a cohesive and forward-looking city strategy for maximising the benefits and addressing the challenges presented by migrants to the capital.
It is possible that the strategies adopted for London will inform other regions, addressing the demands and needs of new arrivals.
