answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>We have considered carefully the introduction of the EU Settlement Scheme and its implications for EEA and Swiss citizens and their family members, including whether we should automatically grant leave to remain. However, this would create ongoing confusion amongst EEA and Swiss citizens, their family members, employers and service providers as to their rights to remain in the UK and access benefits and services.</p><p><br>Requiring EEA and Swiss nationals to apply for and receive a status via the EU Settlement Scheme is key to ensuring life continues smoothly for them in the future. This will become particularly important when we move into the future immigration system as the resident population will need to be able to distinguish themselves from those who may have different rights.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 07/03/2019 18:19:43 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

The Strategy includes a strong focus on prevention and early intervention to stop young people being drawn into violent crime.</p><p>We are supporting early intervention and prevention with children and young people through the Early Intervention Youth Fund of £22 million, which is already supporting 29 projects across England and Wales. Over £17 million has already been allocated to projects delivering interventions to young people at risk of criminal involvement, gang exploitation and county lines. For example, a total of £700,000 has been awarded to an early intervention programme in Merseyside, involving a joint partnership between Everton in the Community, The Liverpool Foundation, the Princes Trust and The Shrewsbury House Youth Club. We are also supporting 68 small community projects this year through £1.5 million from the anti-knife crime Community Fund, of which four are in Merseyside.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 07/03/2019 18:45:08 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd attachment 1 file name Tables Knife Crime & Fire Arms in E&W.xlsx title Knife and Firearms Offences Stats - Tables
