	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2015 answer text <p>The Home Office does not routinely monitor the treatment of individuals once removed from the UK as they have been found not to need protection and therefore that they are not at real risk of harm. Each case is considered on its individual merits including, where relevant, the reasonableness of internal relocation. Returns are only undertaken when the Home Office and courts deem it is safe to do so.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 29/06/2015 14:38:16 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2015 answer text <p>Asylum seekers who are destitute are provided with accommodation and a cash allowance to cover their essential living needs. The level of the allowance is kept under regular review. The most recent review showed that the asylum support payments provided to larger household groups comfortably exceeded what is necessary to meet essential living needs. Despite the planned reduction in the rate, the payments are still sufficient to meet those needs. There should therefore be no impact on the voluntary sector.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 07/09/2015 15:43:23 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
