Calls for evidence for balance of competences reviews
14 May 2013
The Government is carrying out a review of the balance of competences between the EU and the UK. This is an audit of what the EU does and how it affects the UK and will be carried out over four semesters between Autumn 2012 and Autumn 2014.
The Home Office is leading on two reports in the second semester, which runs from Spring 2013 to Winter 2013, in the following areas:
- Asylum and Immigration; and
- Free Movement of Persons
The Free Movement of Persons report is being jointly led with the Department for Work and Pensions.
Calls for Evidence for both reports were launched on 15 May 2013 giving both individuals and interested groups the opportunity to contribute their views. The closing date for evidence is midday on 5 August 2013. For more information, and to find out how to submit evidence, please go to Gov.uk.
