answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Police and Crime Plans are an important strategic planning tool for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) and were introduced as a statutory requirement for commissioners as part of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011. Section 5 of that Act stipulates that a PCC must issue a new Police and Crime plan as soon as practicable after taking office – a commissioner may also vary an existing plan or issue a new one at any time, the frequency with which this is done is determined on the basis of local need.</p><p>Alongside this, section 7 of that Act requires PCCs to set out the victims’ services that are planned for the rest of the period that the PCC will hold office in their police and crime plan. PCCs are also required to produce an annual report at the end of each financial year to provide the public with an update on the progress which has been made in meeting the police and crime objectives contained within the plan and the victims and witness services that have been commissioned and provided (section 12 of that Act).</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 04/07/2017 10:28:10 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the potential effect of applying regional income thresholds to UK citizens with non-EEA partners on the ability of those citizens to bring their partners to the UK.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>The minimum income threshold of £18,600 for sponsoring a non-EEA national partner to come or remain here applies across the UK. The level of the income threshold, which aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration, was set following advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee and reflects the income at which a family settled here generally cannot access income-related benefits. The Committee, in its November 2011 report, could see no clear case for differentiation of the income threshold between UK countries and regions and noted several arguments against such an approach. These included that a family living in a wealthy part of a relatively poor UK country or region could be subject to a lower income requirement than a family living in a deprived part of a relatively wealthy one. The Government agrees with that assessment and applying a single minimum income threshold across the UK has been found to be lawful by the courts.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 06/12/2016 16:39:51 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
