answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Our visa regime is the first line of defence. We refuse a visa to any individual we consider a threat to the national security of the United <br>Kingdom. The Home Secretary can exclude individuals who are a threat to the security of this country. The Home Secretary excludes foreign nationals who are a threat to the security of this country, and can deprive citizenship from dual nationals, or naturalised British citizens in certain circumstances. With the assistance of carriers who provide advance passenger information we operate no fly arrangements which prevent people who pose a terrorist threat from travelling to the United Kingdom, and have stopped the travel of a small number of people. On arrival at our ports and airports Border Force's operating mandate requires them to conduct checks on 100% of passengers and the police have the power to examine individuals at ports and the border to establish whether they appear to be involved in terrorism. On 1 September the Prime Minister announced that the Government will also be putting our long-standing arrangements on aviation security around the world on a statutory footing; and will work up proposals to be discussed on a cross-party basis for a targeted, discretionary power to allow us to exclude British nationals from the UK</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 17:16:41 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Prevent strategy was revised in June 2011. Since then, the funding allocations for the Prevent programme were as follows: <br><br>FY 2011 / 12 - £36m<br>FY 2012 / 13 - £35m<br>FY 2013 / 14 - £39m<br>FY 2014 / 15 - £40m<br><br>In each of these years, £5.1m has been made available to local authorities on a grant basis to deliver Prevent work at local level. <br><br>The 2011 Prevent Strategy separated Prevent and integration work. As a result, the Department for Communities and Local Government leads the Government’s integration strategy. Integration work no longer receives funding from the Home Office. It is therefore misleading to draw comparisons between Prevent funding figures before and after 2011.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 16:52:06 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18290 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

Each of the nine police <br>regions receives funding to support the Channel programme. In most areas, the local authority and other partners work effectively together to support people at risk of radicalisation and getting drawn into terrorism. In order to ensure that all partnerships work consistently well, we are placing Channel on a statutory footing to secure the effective local co-operation that is required in all areas.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 09/09/2014 15:28:53 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18288 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	207910
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Law enforcement agencies do not routinely record the professions of individuals who have had their communications data accessed under the Regulation of Investigators Powers Act 2000 (RIPA), as there is no operational reason to do so. Furthermore, at the time that communications data is requested, the police may not be aware of the professions of those individuals that the requested data will relate to.<br><br>Communications data can only be accessed under RIPA when it is necessary for one of the statutory purposes, for example for the prevention and detection of crime and proportionate to what is sought to be achieved. As well as having to be necessary and proportionate, there are additional safeguards provided by the statutory Acquisition of Communications Data Code of Practice 2007 and independent oversight provided by the independent Interception of Communications Commissioner. We are currently updating the statutory Code, including on whether additional consideration should be given to privileged information, such as from journalists or lawyers.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/09/2014 16:44:18 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 18286 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
