uin	202546
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2023 answer text <p>Under the Immigration &amp; Asylum Act 1999, the Home Office has a statutory obligation to house asylum seekers, who would otherwise be destitute, whilst their claim is under consideration. Eligible asylum seekers are ordinarily placed in housing accommodation; however, the unprecedented number of small boat arrivals has forced the Home Office to consider alternative accommodation options to ensure that we meet our statutory obligations, which has resulted in the temporary use of hotels.</p><p>The Home Office is committed to making every effort to reduce hotel use and limit the burden on the taxpayer. This is why we are delivering a range of alternative accommodation sites, maximising hotel space, operationalising the Illegal Migration Act and continuing our hard work to clear the asylum backlog by the end of 2023.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 18/10/2023 12:59:34 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

Section 40(3) allows the Secretary of State to deprive a person who has obtained citizenship by naturalisation or registration, where the Secretary of State is satisfied that citizenship was obtained by means of fraud, false representation, or concealment of material fact.</p><p>Detail on the numbers of conducive deprivation orders made under Section 40(2) of the 1981 British Nationality Act, are published in the Government Transparency Report: Disruptive and Investigatory Powers. Six reports have been published to date providing the number of deprivations of citizenship orders made up until the end of 2021 and can be found at the below links:</p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fhm-government-transparency-report-on-the-use-of-disruptive-and-investigatory-powers&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=hqd0FWCx0GW%2FXWkwhVSfiHmflAkQS1Pkqapag%2Fo0bdw%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hm-government-transparency-report-on-the-use-of-disruptive-and-investigatory-powers</a></p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fdisruptive-and-investigatory-powers-hm-government-transparency-report&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=E2QzZd8xbGkf8Q9E1XSVgrioKIyv6rBVEJjlK05U7XA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/disruptive-and-investigatory-powers-hm-government-transparency-report</a></p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fdisruptive-and-investigatory-powers-transparency-report-2018&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=DTs%2FZrY%2F0dW54V52Cdoe46WFTjaXpMHECRUF3p8OtJg%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/disruptive-and-investigatory-powers-transparency-report-2018</a></p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Ftransparency-report-disruptive-powers-2018-to-2019&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=XBpsLxOJjwjcdVdmbFGk6wg8qdBFj3Bm8P1MVQBYbuI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/transparency-report-disruptive-powers-2018-to-2019</a></p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fdisruptive-powers-2020&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=xh%2FqFUZWPjMLPgxKrRBc8fs4scOT6X90anrmqS8mTmA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/disruptive-powers-2020</a></p><p><a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fcounter-terrorism-disruptive-powers-report-2021&amp;data=05%7C01%7CIan.Westwood3%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Cce5990a53c8d42e84eb908dbce2b44f4%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C638330457459301759%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=DmqUxbsDX5n6SeyqQ8KzTxIZEv2RQN3fHZE7DoN7Jf8%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/counter-terrorism-disruptive-powers-report-2021</a></p><p>More recent data will be published in future publications in relation to deprivation of British citizenship 40(2) of the British Nationality Act 1981.</p><p>Section 40(3) of the 1981 British Nationality Act, allows for deprivation of citizenship where fraud, false representation or concealment of material facts have been used to obtain British citizenship.

There have been issues with the supply of a limited number of HRT products, primarily due to very sharp increases in demand, but the supply position for most of those HRT products has improved considerably over the last year. Only one of the 23 Serious Shortage Protocols issued since April last year remain. We continue to engage with suppliers to address these issues and improve resilience in the short, medium, and long term. We are holding quarterly roundtables with manufacturers, wholesalers, and community pharmacists to monitor progress and agree what more needs to be done to help ensure supply is sufficient to meet demand.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 18/10/2023 16:40:32 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2023 answer text <p>On 1 June 2023, my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, announced steps to prevent pupils getting access to e-cigarettes illegally. As part of this, the Department is planning to include a specific reference to the harms of e-cigarettes in the amended Relationships, Sex and Health Education (RSHE) curriculum.</p><p>The Department expects to publish an amended draft of the statutory guidance for consultation later this autumn, with a view to a final version being published in 2024.</p><p>The RSHE statutory guidance, which sets out the curriculum topics, already states that in primary and secondary school, pupils should be taught the facts about legal and illegal harmful substances and associated risks, including smoking, alcohol use, and drug taking. To support schools to deliver this content effectively, the Department published a suite of teacher training modules, including drugs, alcohol and tobacco, which makes specific reference to e-cigarettes.</p><p>In addition, the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco are taught in compulsory health education. This supplements drug education which is part of the National Curriculum for Science in Key Stages 2 and 3.</p><p>Schools are required by law to have a behaviour policy that sets out what is expected of all pupils, including what items are banned from school premises. This should be communicated to all pupils, parents and school staff.</p><p>Schools have the autonomy to decide which items should be banned from their premises, and these can include e-cigarettes. Items banned by the school can be searched for as outlined in the Department’s Searching, Screening and Confiscation guidance: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/searching-screening-and-confiscation" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/searching-screening-and-confiscation</a>.</p><p>The Department believes that this will help head teachers to manage e-cigarettes on school premises and to inform pupils about the risks, with a view to reducing the numbers of pupils who are currently using e-cigarettes, or who might be tempted to try them in the future.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 18/10/2023 16:23:12 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
