In particular, the programme prioritises survivors of torture and <br>violence, women and children at risk and those in need of medical care. We are <br>working closely with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) <br>in the region to identify the exceptional cases whose needs are so profound <br>that they need to be resettled to a country like the UK. The scheme is <br>therefore based on need, rather than designed to meet set arrival projections. <br>However, we will continue to bring groups here on a regular basis, and envisage <br>that several hundred people will be helped over the next three years.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/07/2014 12:35:04 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The minimum income threshold for sponsoring a partner under the family <br>Immigration Rules aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote <br>integration. It is appropriate that the requirement to meet the income threshold <br>should not be affected by the age of the sponsor. The income threshold rules make <br>provision for the counting of a wide range of both employment and non-employment<br>income, including pensions, and of cash savings. They also exempt the applicant from <br>the income threshold requirement where the sponsor is in receipt of a specified <br>disability-related benefit or carer's allowance.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 08/07/2014 13:54:02 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
