Any effects exerted by asylum policies and welfare systems on individual decision making around ultimate country of destination are much less well understood and difficult to isolate. That is why we have no plans to work provisions and are trebling the fines for illegal working.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 30/11/2023 17:26:36 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick
