	tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
	uin	HL15566
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office have not made any estimation of the number of asylum seeking children unable to apply for UK citizenship due to the cost of the application fee.</p><p>In line with international law, the UK does not charge for asylum applications. Those granted refugee status can then apply for indefinite leave to remain at the end of their limited leave period. This application is also free of charge.</p><p>Applying for British nationality is not mandatory and many individuals who have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status choose not to apply. This is because, in addition to lawful permanent residence in the UK, a person with ILR enjoys the benefits of full access to the UK labour market, state education and healthcare and the ability to sponsor family members’ residence in the UK. Fees for citizenship applications apply equally to all applicants.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/05/2019 15:30:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

A full list of the forces and the funding they have received from the serious violence fund is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/police-granted-funding-boost-for-action-on-serious-violence" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/police-granted-funding-boost-for-action-on-serious-violence</a></p><p>We are also taking wider actions to address knife crime. The £35m of the Serious Violence Fund is being invested in Violence Reduction Units to support multi-agency efforts to tackle serious violence. Through the Offensive Weapons Act we are tightening the law in relation to knives, including making it an offence to possess certain offensive weapons in private. We are also introducing new Knife Crime Prevention Orders, to help to the police address young people who are on the cusp of serious violence, encouraging them make more positive lifestyle choices. We also continue to support the police national weeks of action against knife crime under Operation Sceptre.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 09/07/2019 14:59:30 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
