	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2014 answer text <p>The Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) advises the Government on economic issues relating to migration.<br><br>On 1 July 2013 the MAC published a &quot;Report on the economic and labour market impacts of tier 1 entrepreneur and investor migrants to the UK&quot; which it had commissioned from the Migration Observatory. The report made a number of findings, although it concluded that it was too early to make a full assessment of the economic contribution of the two routes without further research. The report is available on the gov.uk website at:<br><br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/economic-and-labour-market-impacts-tier-1-entrepreneur-and-investor-migrants" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/economic-and-labour-market-impacts-tier-1-entrepreneur-and-investor-migrants</a><br><br>More recently, on 25 February 2014 the MAC published its own report, &quot;Tier 1 (Investor) route: investment thresholds and economic benefits&quot; in response to a Government commission. The MAC concluded that the direct investment required by the route is of little or no benefit, but there is some benefit from indirect spending by investors and their families in the UK (although this is difficult to quantify). The report is available on the gov.uk website at:<br><br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-investment-limits-and-economic-benefits-of-the-tier-1-investor-route-feb-2014" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-investment-limits-and-economic-benefits-of-the-tier-1-investor-route-feb-2014</a><br><br>The Government keeps all routes under review and is currently considering its response to the MAC's report on the Tier 1 (Investor) route.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 30/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The average length of time between a deportation order being made on a foreign <br>national offender and their deportation in each year since 2010 is as follows: <br>143 days in 2010, 148 days in 2011, 174 days in 2012 and 187 days in 2013. <br><br>The increase in average time taken is driven mainly by serving more deportation <br>orders earlier in the process, sometimes up to 27 months before sentence end <br>date, to enable removal to take place as early as possible within the Early <br>Removal Scheme (ERS) period. The by-product of starting the deportation process <br>earlier is that we have to wait longer to enforce a person's removal, which <br>artificially inflates the view on the average time taken to deport.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
