This will enable them to continue their lives in the UK with the same entitlements to work, study and access public services and benefits. Evidence of this new UK immigration status will be given in digital form to EU citizens. This will provide them with a convenient way of evidencing their status to those who may need to see confirmation of it, such as an employer, landlord or other service provider. The Government will set out any further plans for adjusting statutory checks by employers, landlords and other service providers in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 27/06/2018 13:42:59 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2018 answer text <p>The web-based Incident Recording System (IRS) provides a standard template, supported by detailed guidance on how to complete the form, used by all Fire and Rescue Services in England, Wales and Scotland. It captures a range of detailed information on fires attended by FRSs, including the cause of fire, source of ignition, power of ignition, the item first ignited and the item(s) responsible for the main spread of fire. <br>It is recognised that changing interests and technologies may not be explicitly reflected in the IRS. The Home Office regularly considers how best to review both the IRS functionality and data collection, to ensure they continue to meet the needs of FRSs and other data users, particularly in light of the Fire Reform Agenda. <br>Home Office officials have regular discussions with fire and rescue services about the data collected through the IRS and collect feedback about the IRS to feed into future reviews.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 02/07/2018 11:53:22 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

uin	156634
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2018 answer text <p>The Department has been carrying out a review of all cases of Caribbean Commonwealth nationality, born before 1 January 1973, who have been removed and/or detained by the Home Office since 2002 (when the Casework Information Database (CID) was available across the immigration system) and sought to identify any individuals where there was an indication in the record that the individual could have been in the UK before 1973.</p><p>The Home Secretary wrote to the Chair of the Home Affairs Select Committee on 21st August to provide an update on this work. This letter outlined that, so far, this review has identified 164 people who were detained and / or removed who told the Home Office they came to the UK before 1 January 1973. Of these, we have identified 18 people who stayed here permanently and who are the people we consider most likely to have suffered detriment because their right to be in the UK was not recognised and where the Department is most likely to have acted wrongfully in removed or detaining them. Eleven of these left the UK voluntarily and seven were detained. Letters of apology are being sent from the Home Secretary.</p><p>A copy of this letter has been deposited in the House Library. This work is ongoing and the Home Secretary has committed to regularly updating the Home Affairs Select Committee on progress.</p><p>These cases of removal and detention have happened over many years under successive governments, with cases spread roughly equally between 2002-2010, and from 2010 onwards. Of course, no matter how long ago the removal or detention case the Home Office will do whatever it can to address anything wrongful which has been done.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 10/10/2018 16:03:06 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
