answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>This Government inherited over 223,000 records - dating from before December 2008 - with very poor data quality, and no structured plan. Alongside wider work to restore control to our immigration system, particularly through abolishing the UK Border Agency, the Government initiated a programme to bring sense to this stock of old records. Having identified and taken out records relating to those people known to have left the country, as well as duplicate and erroneous records, the number of meaningful pre-2008 records is just over 89,000. Those are now being addressed in the proper way.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/12/2014 17:10:02 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>We do not keep data on redeployment opportunities for firefighters. If a person has a permanent medical condition preventing them undertaking their role, they would be eligible for ill health retirement.<br><br>The role of firefighters has changed dramatically over recent years. Firefighters engage in more specialist roles and work more closely with the community to prevent fires and reduce other risks. More diverse roles demand new approaches to workforce management and these provide the opportunities for a more diverse workforce, including older workers, bringing a wider range of skills and experience to bear in serving their communities, and a more sophisticated approach to measuring operational fitness.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 11/12/2014 16:56:14 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
