	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, with reference to paragraph 10 of his Department's policy paper entitled Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU, published on 26 June 2017, what additional steps people who have received permanent residence documentation will have to take in order to secure settled status.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text There is no need to do anything now. The UK will remain a member of the EU until March 2019 and there will be no change to the rights and status of EU citizens living in the UK, nor UK nationals living in the EU, during this time. Permanent residence status is linked to the UK’s membership of the EU and so will no longer be valid after we leave. Therefore EU citizens do not need to apply for documentation confirming their permanent residence status. We will be asking EU citizens to make an application to the Home Office for documentation demonstrating their new settled status in due course. We will make the process as streamlined as possible for all individuals, including those who already hold a residence document under current free movement rules. <strong>Our intention is that the grace period last up to two years, giving people plenty of time to regularise their status.</strong> Anyone who would like to find out the latest information, including when they will need to sign up for the new scheme, can sign-up for email updates here. answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 17/07/2017 07:52:21 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2022 answer text <p>​The National Tutoring Programme aims to deliver up to 2 million courses this year, and up to 90 million tuition hours by the 2024/25 academic year across the programme’s three pillars. Schools have the freedom to enrol the pupils they think could benefit most.</p><p>The programme is on course to deliver its objectives. Since September we have seen more than 300,000 courses started, almost the same number as the whole of last year. An estimated 230,000 courses have been started by pupils through the school-led tutoring pillar. An estimated 20,000 with academic mentors and an estimated 52,000 with tuition partners. A course consists of 15 tuition hours, meaning that pupils who need it most will be receiving millions of hours of high-quality support.</p><p>The department does not currently publish regional performance data. We will consider doing so going forward. We will continue to work closely with the delivery partner to ensure the tuition partner and academic mentor pillars fulfil their objectives by the end of the academic year and will publish further data for the spring and summer terms later this year.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/01/2022 17:47:17 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
