In addition, immigration legislation specifically provides for children to remain eligible for support from a local authority under section 17 of the Children Act 1989, and an assessment of welfare needs will be part of providing that support.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 252084 question first answered 16/05/2019 15:10:44 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
