uin	HL152
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>By its very nature, it is not possible to know the exact size of the illegal population and so we do not seek to make any official estimates.</p><p>The Government is focused on making it harder for people to enter and live in the UK illegally, whilst ensuring those who have the right to reside in the UK can do so. Exit checks introduced in April 2015 will, over time provide more detailed insights into the behaviour of migrants and how they comply with the restrictions placed upon their length of stay in the UK, but the data obtained does not provide the total number of illegal migrants currently in the UK. In June 2019, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published a note on measuring illegal migration.</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/articles/measuringillegalmigrationourcurrentview/2019-06-21" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/articles/measuringillegalmigrationourcurrentview/2019-06-21</a></p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/01/2020 17:30:32 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

As part of its work, the Inquiry is investigating institutional responses to child sexual exploitation by organised networks. While independent of Government we welcome the Inquiry’s work in this area and, as always, the Government will cooperate fully and will give careful consideration to its findings in due course.</p><p>The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigates the most serious and sensitive incidents and allegations involving the police.
