In the majority of cases where a prosecution outcome is awaited, and the outstanding application cannot be refused under the Immigration Rules as it stands on the basis of existing evidence, it may only be resolved once the court case is concluded. Where a person has valid leave when they make an application, their existing immigration status is preserved pending resolution of the application for further leave.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 30/04/2018 14:23:28 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office has not undertaken an assessment.</p><p> </p><p>The Modern Crime Prevention Strategy published in March 2016 sets out how we analyse and respond to crime through the consideration of six drivers of crime (opportunity, character, effectiveness of the criminal justice system, profit, drugs and alcohol). This includes looking at new and emerging trends in acquisitive crime where we work closely with the police and relevant industry leads. While there are various studies suggesting that the prevalence of gambling is higher in offenders than the general population, the issue of problem gambling and gambling addiction has not been raised as a specific issue during our conversations about acquisitive crime with the police and others.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 02/05/2018 14:37:57 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
