This report includes the number of herds in each of the cull areas. These herds have remained in an annual testing area since 2010, which means they are required to be skin tested each year. Any herd with overdue testing will have been put under movement restrictions until tested with negative results. Some herds will have been tested more than once a year if they have had their official TB-free status suspended or withdrawn, and any licenced finishing units may be exempt from skin testing but subject to slaughterhouse surveillance.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office has recently launched a new Update my Details service to make it easy for customers to keep their information up to date. The service currently enables EU Settlement Scheme applicants to change their email address and telephone number through an entirely online process. Name and ID Document updates currently require applicants to post their ID Document to the Home Office as supporting evidence and to protect against identi-ty fraud, however we are continuing to deliver improvements to make these processes as user friendly as possible by making them entirely online.</p><p>The EU Settlement Scheme will make it easy for EU citizens who want to stay in the UK to get the UK immigration status they need. We have conducted two successful private test phases and have recently commenced the wider public roll-out to all resident EU citizens with a valid passport. This is still a test phase, which we are conducting so that we can continue to develop and improve the system before it fully launches on 30 March, and we are grateful to everyone who has taken part so far.</p><p>Applicants who have been granted Settled or Pre-Settled status can view and share their status via the online Status service using the ID Document Num-ber that they used in their application, alongside some user authentication. Users are encouraged to notify the Home Office when they acquire a new ID Document which will then enable them to view and share their online status using the new document. Alternatively, applicants can continue to access their status using their original ID Document.</p><p>EU nationals can continue to evidence their right to live and work in the UK using their passport or identity card until 31 December 2020.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/03/2019 16:58:34 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
