question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Manzoor on 23 October (HL Deb, cols 763–5), whether they will clarify for which citizenship applications child fee waivers will apply.
tabling member printed	Baroness Lister of Burtersett
uin	HL11385
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>I am grateful for the opportunity to put the record straight, having reviewed the Official Report with Baroness Lister. Fee waivers are available for immigration applications based on particular specified human rights reasons in which to require a fee before an application for leave to remain is considered would be a breach of that individual’s human rights. Fee waivers are not available for citizenship applications, and therefore they are not available for children seeking registration as British citizens.</p><p>I fully acknowledge that the answer I gave on 23 October did not provide the complete picture and once again am grateful to be able to remove the ambiguity my oral answer will have created. I will be writing to those who took part in the oral question to repeat the clarification in this answer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Manzoor question first answered 20/11/2018 17:55:28 answering member 4289 label Biography information for Baroness Manzoor

Operations in public places are subject to a higher level of authorisation than other types of enforcement visit or operation and require the completion of a comprehensive risk and intelligence assessment. The nature of immigration enforcement activity means that there may be unplanned encounters as part of a planned operation. In such situations, officers will undertake a dynamic risk assessment and any action will be taken within the parameters of the guidance and the powers available to the officer.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 20/11/2018 17:02:42 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

tabling member constituency	Sheffield, Heeley
tabling member printed	Louise Haigh
uin	185657
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>It is difficult to measure the number of children at risk of child sexual exploitation with confidence because methodologies vary and because most child sexual abuse remains unreported.</p><p>In its report, Measuring the Scale and Changing Nature of Child Sexual Abuse Child Sexual Exploitation, published in August 2018, the Centre of Expertise on Child Sexual Abuse refers to several studies which have sought to assess the number of children at risk of sexual exploitation in England using different methodologies and data sources. These include a survey of 100 local authorities in 2016 which identified 13,466 children at risk, and a study by the Office of the Children's Commissioner in 2012 which estimated 16,500 children to be at risk.</p><p>The Department for Education published statistics on “Characteristics of children in need: 2017/18: England” on 25 October 2018. These show nearly 20,000 assessments carried out by children’s services where child sexual exploitation was identified as being a factor that contributed to the child being in need. However, these figures count numbers of assessments, not number of children, so if a child has more than one assessment where child sexual exploitation is identified as a factor then they will be counted more than once in these figures.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/11/2018 17:07:23 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	181654
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Although estimates of the cost of cyber crime vary considerably, there are millions of individual victims, many thousands of corporate victims and correspondingly substantial losses. Therefore, whilst there is no robust estimate of the total cost of cyber crime to the UK economy it is likely to be billions.</p><p>The Economic and Social Costs of Crime report (Home Office, 2018) estimated a cost of £1.1bn from computer misuse incidents against individuals in the financial year 2015/16. However, it should be noted that this estimate is based upon experimental statistics and should be considered as a partial estimate as it excludes some key costs, such as the costs to businesses.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 20/11/2018 17:21:58 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
