	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2018 answer text <p>95% of individuals liable for removal at any one time are managed within the community through immigration bail and regular reporting, rather than within an immigration removal centre. Alternatives to detention are not, of course, alternatives to case resolution, and our objective is to achieve better outcomes for migrants, meaning quicker resolution of their case whether the result is a grant of leave or the migrant’s departure (preferably voluntary) from the UK.</p><p>The Home Secretary said - in his statement to parliament on 24 July introducing Stephen Shaw’s follow up report on immigration detention - that he had asked the Home Office to do more to explore alternatives to detention with faith groups, with non-governmental organisations and within communities. Working with UNHCR, a pilot scheme is being developed that will manage a number of women in the community who would otherwise be detained at Yarl’s Wood Immigration Removal Centre, meaning that rather than receiving support and care in an immigration removal centre, the women in question will get a programme of support and care in the community.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 07/12/2018 11:26:36 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

Anyone who has applied during the private or public beta test phases, or who does so, will have their fee reimbursed. Details of the refunds process will be published shortly.”</p><p>It was a matter for individual organisations or employers to decide whether they wished to pay on an applicant’s behalf, give them the funds to pay, or reimburse the fee.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 20/02/2019 13:17:10 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
