Deferred
Review communication plan to publicise BN(O) visa route and scheme enhancements effectively.
Recommendation
The Government must provide further assurances of the practical steps it is taking to welcome BN(O) citizens and to ensure they are aware of the scheme. The Government should review its communication plan to ensure that the new visa route is being publicised through all appropriate channels and, where changes are made to enhance and extend the scheme, must ensure that these changes are communicated quickly and effectively. (Paragraph 100) Settlement in the UK
Government Response Summary
The government discusses the setting of visa, immigration, and citizenship fees, which is unrelated to the recommendation for assurances on welcoming BN(O) citizens and reviewing communication plans for the scheme.
