answer text <p>The annual single night snapshot of rough sleeping in Autumn 2018 was published on January 31 2019 at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2018</a>.</p><p>Table 1 provides figures from annual rough sleeping snapshots in all local authorities in England since 2010 and whether this was derived through a count or an estimate. Each local authority in England chooses whether to inform this annual snapshot via a street count, an evidence-based estimate, or an estimate informed by a spotlight street count.</p><p>The methodology for providing this snapshot has been in place since 2010 and provides a way of approximating the number of people sleeping rough across England on a single night, and tracking change over time. Detailed guidance is provided to authorities on how to conduct counts and estimates; hundreds of local partner agencies participate in the process and Homeless Link are funded to verify all local counts and validate local estimates and demographic information.</p><p>MHCLG is encouraging local authorities with larger numbers of people sleeping rough to improve their year-round monitoring. Due to the difficulties involved in collecting such information, it is not practical to request all local authorities to gather data on the flow of people sleeping rough across the year. This would require extensive local outreach work as well as a substantial database and, especially for local authorities with small numbers of people sleeping rough, would not be an appropriate use of resources.</p><p>In some areas, including London, this is already in place. London’s CHAIN data, which provides information on the individuals seen sleeping rough by outreach teams in London throughout the year as opposed to a single night, was published alongside our own statistics and can be found at the link below.</p><p><a href="https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/chain-reports" target="_blank">https://data.london.gov.uk/dataset/chain-reports</a>.</p><p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p>

answer text <p>I can confirm that the returns charter flight to Jamaica took place on 6 February 2019. I do not plan to cancel any other returns charter flights.</p><p>Returns charter flight operations remain an important means by which we return illegal migrants and Foreign National Offenders without a right to remain in the UK. They would otherwise have to be returned alongside fare paying passengers on scheduled flights.</p><p>The UK Borders Act 2007 requires that the Home Secretary issues a deporta-tion order for anyone who is a foreign national offender sentenced to a period of 12 months or more imprisonment. That is a legal requirement. Most liberal democracies around the world have similar laws in place. British offenders in foreign states are often deported back to the UK, including from Jamaica, which has in the past deported British nationals who have committed serious offences back to the UK.</p><p>Everyone deported on the returns charter flight to Jamaica was a foreign national offender. All of them have been convicted of serious crimes, such as rape, murder, firearms offences and drug trafficking. This law applies universally to all foreign national offenders.</p>

answer text <p>The table below sets out for each local authority with a Housing Revenue Account (HRA) the percentage of their borrowing cap that had been utilised at 1 April 2017 and 1 April 2018. At Autumn Budget we confirmed that the HRA borrowing cap had been abolished. Local authorities are now free to borrow to build a new generation of council housing, in line with the Prudential Code. We expect them to be able to double building to 10,000 homes per year by 2021/22.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Local Authority</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% cap utilised at 1 April 2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>% cap utilised at 1 April 2018</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Adur</p></td><td><p>87.22%</p></td><td><p>87.22%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Arun</p></td><td><p>69.34%</p></td><td><p>67.87%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashfield</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td><td><p>100.00%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ashford</p></td><td><p>94.59%</p></td><td><p>94.20%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Babergh</p></td><td><p>88.15%</p></td><td><p>87.64%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Barking &amp;
