answer text <p>Section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 allows the Secretary of State to make an order to deprive a person of their British citizenship where it is conducive to the public good to do so, or where a naturalised British citizen has used fraud, false representation or concealment of material fact to obtain British citizenship.</p><p>Between 1997 and 2006 no person was deprived of British citizenship by the Secretary of State. The number of people who have been deprived of citizenship under section 40 of the British Nationality Act 1981 since 2006 is set out in the table below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of Deprivation Orders Made</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2006</strong></p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2007</strong></p></td><td><p>1</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2008</strong></p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2009</strong></p></td><td><p>2</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p>18</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p>19</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015</strong> <strong>Jan - Oct</strong></p></td><td><p>16</p></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>This information has been provided from local management information and is not a national statistic.

answer text <p>Under the EU law, EEA nationals (and their family members) have an initial right to reside in the UK for three months without conditions. To have a right to reside in the country longer than this the EEA national must be exercising a Treaty Right, described in the Immigration (EEA) Regulations 2006 as being a qualified person. To be considered a quali-fied person, they must be a jobseeker, worker, self-employed person, self-sufficient or a student. After living in the UK for a continuous period of five years in accordance with the conditions set out in the EEA Regulations, an EEA national and any family member will acquire the right of permanent residence in the UK and apply for documentation confirming this right.</p><p>The total numbers of documents certifying permanent residence by country of nationality are published in table ee_02 ‘Immigration Statistics, April-June 2015’ table ee_02 for 2004 to 2014, available from the Library of the House and from the Home Office website at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-statistics . Corresponding data for 2015 will be published on 26 May 2016. A breakdown by age grouping is not published.</p><p>The issuing of permanent residence documents to EEA nationals commenced in April 2006 and therefore there are no statistics relating to EEA nationals available prior to that date.</p>

answer text <p>Uncontrolled, mass immigration makes it difficult to maintain social cohesion, puts pressure on public services, and can force down wages. That's why we are working to reduce net migration.</p><p>Under the last government, we cracked down on visa abuse, including removing licences from nearly 900 bogus colleges, and introduced the 2014 Immigration Act to create controls on accessing benefits and services which are among the tightest in Europe.</p><p>But this government will go further still. Our new Immigration Bill will create a new offence of illegal working and extend our deport-first-appeal-later approach to ensure even more illegal migrants are removed from the UK.</p><p>We are also working with the independent Migration Advisory Committee to reduce economic migration from outside the EU, and we will reform our labour market rules to crack down on the exploitation of low-skilled workers.</p><p>As the Prime Minister has set out, we will address the incentives for migration from the EU which have led to mass immigration from Europe. We will deliver these proposals, and our commitments in the manifesto, with a new Immigration Taskforce, chaired by the Prime Minister, which will ensure every part of government plays a part in helping control immigration.</p>
