answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The EU Settlement Scheme is designed to make it simple and straightforward for EU citizens and their family members to apply to stay in the UK after we leave the EU.</p><p>The Home Office has introduced a range of support including grant funding for voluntary and community organisations and assisted digital support. In addition, the EU Settlement Scheme Resolution Centre can provide help and information by telephone and e-mail on the application process.</p><p>Up to £9 million of grant funding has been made available to 57 civil society organisations to enable them to mobilise services targeted at vulnerable EU citizens and their families. We believe these organisations have the best net-works and expertise to support the most vulnerable and will help ensure that those who require the most support to apply to the scheme can access it.</p><p>The support model offers support to all who need it, not just those receiving support from charities. It is there to provide guidance, reassurance and practical help tailored to individual needs. The range of available support includes providing key information in a range of languages and formats and offering assisted digital support for those who cannot access or are not confident with technology.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 05/11/2019 14:22:19 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>It is vital that the over three million EU citizens and their family members living in the UK understand how and when to apply to the EU Settlement Scheme.</p><p>That is why, when the scheme launched fully in March, the department delivered a £3.75m marketing campaign to raise awareness of the scheme.</p><p>Advertising and local events are underway to support the cross government Get Ready campaign and further publicity will roll out over the lifetime of the Scheme. All available channels will be used to reach our audiences – such as direct marketing, radio, video-on-demand and outdoor advertising, presentations, email updates, toolkits and webinars to name a few – to direct EU citizens towards reliable sources of information on GOV.UK and the application itself.</p><p>No-one will be left behind which is why we are also working in partnership with vulnerable group representatives, local authorities and other experts to make everyone knows what they need to do and has the right level of support.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 05/11/2019 11:35:20 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether EU citizens resident in the UK will be subject to penalties if they do not apply for settled status by the deadline of (a) 30 June 2021 and (b) 31 December 2020 in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>Through the EU Settlement Scheme, we have provided a free and easy process for EU citizens resident in the UK to obtain the immigration status they need to continue living in this country. We have received over 2.2 million applications so far and those who have yet to apply have more than a year to do so, as the deadline if the UK leaves the EU without a deal will be at least 31 December 2020. We are providing additional support to those who require assistance in applying to the scheme.</p><p>Those who fail to make an application will not have lawful status in the UK when the new immigration system is introduced, but we have been clear that, where they have reasonable grounds for missing the deadline, they will be given a further opportunity to apply. Our compassionate and flexible approach will ensure that individuals who miss the deadline through no fault of their own can still obtain lawful status in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 05/11/2019 14:25:11 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>The right to protest peacefully is a long-standing tradition in this country and a vital foundation of our democracy.</p><p>However, the rights to peaceful protest do not extend to unlawful activity and the police have powers to deal with any such acts.
