answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>On 13 March the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced an additional £100 million of funding for serious violence in 2019/20 to help the police’s immediate response to the rise in serious knife crime, and also to support investment in Violence Reduction Units. It is important that we recognise that greater law enforcement on its own will not reduce serious violence and that we must continue to focus on prevention.</p><p>The majority of the investment will go towards supporting police forces where violent crime is impacting the most, to take immediate action to suppress the violence we are seeing, to make our streets safer. We are engaging with partners including the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and we are developing the criteria by which forces will receive this funding.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 03/04/2019 16:36:08 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

We consider the needs of the UK as a whole and are committed to developing an immigration system that serves the national interest.</p><p><br>We have set out our proposals for the future border and immigration system that would operate after 2021, in a White Paper published in December. As set out in the White Paper, we will provide for a single, global immigration system that will be based on skills rather than on where someone comes from – and is designed to attract international talent and work in the best interests of the UK economy as a whole.</p><p><br>Scotland’s particular circumstances and needs for skilled labour continue to be accounted for through the Scotland-specific Shortage Occupation List which allows immigration to address the gaps in Scotland’s labour market. The list broadly reflects the wider UK Shortage Occupation List, suggesting that Scotland’s skills needs are largely aligned with the rest of the UK.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/04/2019 16:28:08 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>All immigration and nationality fees are set within strict financial limits agreed with HM Treasury and Parliament, and are also aligned with clear principles that balance a number of complex factors, including the benefits likely to be accrued.</p><p>Officials from the Home Office liaise regularly with counterparts in MOD and the Armed Forces Families Federations on various issues regarding armed forces migration, including immigration fees for foreign and Commonwealth former service personnel. We are aware of the current campaign by Royal British Legion to waive settlement fees for Commonwealth national personnel, and I have responded to their letter on this issue.</p><p>The Home Office reviews fees on a yearly basis and income from fees charged for immigration and nationality applications plays a vital role in our ability to run a sustainable immigration and nationality system, and minimize the burden on the taxpayer. Application fees in general have increased in recent years to support this aim.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 03/04/2019 16:29:19 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
