(ii) A geographical breakdown of temporary staff employed in UK Border Agency

NOTE: Office for National Statistics defines temporary staff as those civil
servants with contracts of employment of less than one year; staff with Fixed
Term Appointments and Permanent staff are reported separately by all government
departments, as are Agency and Contingent Workers.
The Home Department does not hold centrally details of expenditure on recruitment agency fees so this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. Expenditure on outplacement agency fees for displaced or
redundant staff for the financial years prior to 2014/15 was not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. The fully audited figures for 2014/15 will be available in July 2015.
The total staff training costs for the financial years 2010/11 to 2013/14 are set out below:
2010-11 - £13,598,237
2011-12 - £14,860,807
2012-13 - £16,986,868

The number of outstanding asylum and immigration cases recorded as associated with each Scottish parliamentary constituency can be found at Table 1 below. The number of outstanding cases recorded as associated with each Scottish local authority area can be found in Table 2. The figures that have been provided below relate to main applicants who have made an immigration application or an asylum claim between 1 May 2010 - 31 December 2013, and whose claim was recorded as unresolved on 31 December 2013. For data protection purposes, cohorts of fewer than 10 people have been indicated with a *.
The data has been compiled by identifying the latest valid postcode on the Case Information Database (CID). For Scottish postcodes, this was then matched to the ONS Postcode database to associate it with a parliamentary constituency and local authority as far as possible. This postcode is the most recently recorded postcode for correspondence purposes and may not be represent the applicant’s of place of residence or be the same postcode provided at the time of applying.

The Government definition of extremism is 'vocal or active opposition to our fundamental values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs.' We have been consistent on this since 2011 and have reaffirmed this definition in the Counter-Extremism Strategy.
The overwhelming majority of people in this country support these values and condemn those who try to undermine them.
The Government would not consider the ‘claim’ that an individual’s religion is ‘the only one true faith’ to be extremist.
We are clear that Government should not restrict anyone’s freedom of speech or right to practise a faith. These are core values that help to make our country great. However we shouldn’t allow the extremist voice to go unchallenged, causing harm to our society and promoting hatred and division.
The Government has engaged on the strategy, and will continue to engage with partners - including faith groups, communities and civic society groups on the new proposed powers to tackle the most dangerous extremists. This provides an opportunity to consult on the proposed powers further, and ensure that sufficient safeguards are in place to protect our rights to free speech and debate.
