The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Migration and Citizenship[3] is a ministerial position in the Home Office of the Government of the United Kingdom.

From June 2017 to July 2019 and October 2022 to December 2023, the minister attended cabinet meetings as Minister of State for Immigration and was seen as one of the most senior Minister of State positions in the Government.

The role was known as Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Future Borders and Immigration from 2020 to 2021 and Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safe and Legal Migration from 2021 to 2022.

Following the resignation of Robert Jenrick in December 2023, the position was split into two roles: the Minister of State for Countering Illegal Migration and the Minister of State for Legal Migration and the Border.
