answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/04/2019 answer text <p>An estimated 3.4m EEA nationals currently resident in the UK are eligible for the EU Settlement Scheme (based on Home Office internal analysis of ONS Annual Population Survey (APS) data for year October 2017 to September 2018).</p><p>The Impact Assessment for the EU Settlement Scheme was published in July 2018<br> (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2018/116/pdfs/ukia_20180116_en.pdf )<br> <br>and an updated version was published in March 2019 <br>(http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukia/2019/74/pdfs/ukia_20190074_en.pdf).</p><p>The Home Office has estimated that the total number of EEA citizens and their family members eligible to apply for the EU Settlement Scheme by the end of the planned implementation period on 31 December 2020 is likely to be between 3.5 million and 4.1 million. This estimate is based on a number of assumptions as to how the size of the eligible EEA population will change over the period. The range should be considered indicative as future migration flows can be affected by many factors and are difficult to predict.</p><p>Two reports on the private testing phases have already been published (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-1 and https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-2/eu-settlement-scheme-private-beta-testing-phase-2-report)</p><p>Interim statistics on the public beta phases were also referenced in the Written Statement HCWS1387WS1387 of 7 March <br>(https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-07/HCWS1387/ )</p><p>We will publish further data on the operation of the EU Settlement Scheme in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 23/04/2019 09:59:07 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

We have also committed to provide guidance alongside any new duty.</p><p><br>The consultation will be open for a period of 8 weeks and will close on 28 May.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 24/04/2019 13:28:19 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	HL15143
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>In 2016, the Government agreed a set of commitments with major retailers to prevent the underage sales of knives, including machetes, in their stores and online. This also covered staff training, the display and packaging of knives. A number of major retailers have signed up to this, including Tesco, eBay UK, Lidl UK, Amazon UK, Wilko, Argos, Asda, Poundland, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, John Lewis, Waitrose, Boots, the Co-op, B&amp;Q, Aldi, TKMaxx and Debenhams. We continue to work with retailers to strengthen the agreement, including in relation to the display of these products in stores.</p><p><br>It is an offence to sell articles with a blade, which includes machetes, to a person under 18, whether that be face to face or online. In addition, the Offensive Weapons Bill will further strengthen the law, with specific new knives offences, including making it an offence to possess certain offensive weapons in private, and stopping bladed products being sent to residential addresses after they are bought online unless the seller has made arrangements with a delivery person or company not to hand that item over to a person under 18 at that address.</p><p>This means that businesses will still be able to sell and dispatch bladed products, which could include machetes, to residential addresses, but they will need to have the necessary arrangements in place to ensure that their products are not delivered into the hands of anyone aged under 18.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 24/04/2019 14:24:52 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
