The Rules, which include the minimum income and English language requirements, prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration. The Supreme Court agreed that they strike a fair balance between the interests of those wishing to sponsor a non-European Economic Area national spouse to settle in the UK and of the community in general.</p><p>We continue to keep the family Immigration Rules under review and make adjustments in light of feedback on their operation and impact. Our overall assessment is that the family Immigration Rules are having the right impact and are helping to ensure public confidence in the immigration system.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/03/2019 17:01:49 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

The action we are taking is set out in our Serious Violence Strategy and includes new legislation in the Offensive Weapons Bill and continuing police action under Operation Sceptre. We have also been supporting the #knifefree media campaign to raise awareness of the consequences of knife crime and discourage young people from carrying knives. The campaign features real testimonies of young people, and it is being promoted via social media as well as traditional channels of communication, including lesson plans for schools.</p><p>The Serious Violence Strategy includes a strong focus on prevention and early intervention to stop young people being drawn in to knife crime. We are supporting early intervention and prevention with children and young people through 29 projects announced in November that we are funding with £17.7m through the Early Intervention Youth Fund and we are supporting 68 small community projects this year through £1.5 million from the anti-knife crime Community Fund. In addition, we have extended our support for Redthread in hospital emergency departments to introduce its “teachable moment” youth violence intervention work to hospitals in Birmingham and Nottingham.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 29/01/2019 17:20:17 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
