uin	204394
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>Any estimate of the exact size of the illegal population is extremely difficult and there would be considerable uncertainty around it. Similarly this applies to any estimate of the size of the illegal population committing crimes not least because not all crimes committed come to the attention of the authorities or lead to arrests; convictions; or removal action.</p><p>Exit checks were introduced in April 2015 and are, over time, providing more detailed insights into the behaviour of migrants and how they comply with the restrictions placed upon their length of stay in the UK. Instead of producing inaccurate numbers, the Government is focused on making it harder for people to live in the UK illegally.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 14/01/2019 16:08:09 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

The changes to workforce structure that resulted from this growth have caused our median gender pay gap to increase, although our individual mean and median gaps for grades D - A (see attached table) indicate that DCMS employees are paid equally for work of equal responsibility. We are committed to reducing our gender pay gap and are taking action to target the causes of our increased median gap.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/01/2019 16:06:36 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James attachment 1 file name Pay.pdf title Pay DCMS
