	answer	answer answer text <p>This Government inherited over 223,000 records - dating from before December 2008 - with very poor data quality, and no structured plan. Alongside wider work to restore control to our immigration system, particularly through abolishing the UK Border Agency, the Government initiated a programme to bring sense to this stock of old records. Having identified and taken out records relating to those people known to have left the country, as well as duplicate and erroneous records, the number of meaningful pre-2008 records is just over 89,000. Those are now being addressed in the proper way.</p><p />

	answer	answer answer text <br /><p>Current police funding arrangements are complex, opaque and out of date. This reflects views put forward by PCCs, police forces and Committees of this House. It is essential that we come to a new funding formula that is fair, transparent and matched to demand - but also one that is supported by policing as a whole. However, we have listened to the views of policing partners and are minded to delay the proposed changes to the formula for 2016/17.</p>

The Government has moved away from the old, 'top-down', directive approach of the past, and it is working closely with agencies to help them make best use of the guidance and put victims at the heart of their response to anti-social behaviour. The statutory guidance is available at:<br><br>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/332839/StatutoryGuidanceFrontline.pdf<br><br>No additional funding is available for the implementation of the Act. However, the six new anti-social behaviour powers are simpler and more flexible than the existing powers they will replace. They will allow the police, local councils and other to act quickly and better protect victims and communities blighted by anti-social behaviour.</p><p /> <p /> <p> </p>

Accordingly, the impact assessment did not consider the likely effect on domestic graduate unemployment.
