Border security, asylum and immigration are reserved responsibilities of the UK Government.
A full devolution analysis of the UK Government's Illegal Migration Act 2023 was undertaken by the 2021 to 2026 administration of the Welsh Government and legislative consent was withheld by the Senedd on the basis that provisions within the Bill undermined the previous administration’s Nation of Sanctuary objectives and devolved competence. The content of the Legislative Consent Motion as put to the Senedd on the 20 June 2023 can be found at: Plenary 20/06/2023 - Welsh Parliament
