The All-Party Parliamentary Group on No Recourse to Public Funds aims to work towards the elimination of destitution amongst migrants who have ‘no recourse to public funds’ by virtue of having irregular immigration status or as a condition imposed on their visa, with a particular focus on families and vulnerable adults, and to contribute to policy and legislation in this area.
