	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government has been clear that there can be no safe spaces for terrorists to promote and share their extreme views online.</p><p>The Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Internet Referral Unit (CTIRU) identifies, assesses and refers online content that is in breach of UK terrorism legislation to technology companies for removal in accordance with their terms of service. To date, in excess of 310,000 individual pieces of terrorist content referred by CTIRU have been removed by companies.</p><p>Police powers need to keep pace with technological developments and the changing way terrorists use the internet. As part of this we amended the law through the Counter Terrorism and Border Security Act 2019 to update the offence of obtaining information “likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism” to include viewing or streaming content online.</p><p>It is important that we ensure counter-terrorism policing has the resources needed to deal with the threat we face. That is why we increased the budget for counter-terrorism policing in 2020-21 by £90m this year compared with last, taking CT police funding to over £900m for the first time</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 25/06/2020 17:03:50 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

	uin	3433
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2015 answer text <p>In setting the amount of the charge, the last Government considered the range of health services available without charge to migrants, the valuable contribution migrants make to our country and the need to ensure that the UK remains an attractive destination for global talent.</p><p>Taking these factors into account, the Government set the charge at £200 per annum, per migrant (with a discounted rate of £150 per annum for students). This is well below the average per capita cost to the NHS of treating temporary migrants. It is also below the rate that migrants might expect to pay for health insurance in our competitor countries. An Impact Assessment published in October 2013 (entitled ‘Regulating migrant access to health services in the UK’), provides further detail.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 30/06/2015 15:52:07 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
