question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what lessons they have learned from measures to improve social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being undertaken by the Future Generations Commissioner for Wales.
tabling member printed	Lord Bird
uin	HL11361
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>There are a number of similarities in what Wales are currently doing in relation to the Future Generations Act, and what the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) proposes to do within the Environment (Principles and Governance) Bill, which they will publish before Christmas. This includes setting out environmental principles in primary legislation and monitoring the application of the principles. However, the main focus of the Environment (Principles and Governance) Bill is to be broadly equivalent to the governance provided by Europe relating to the environment and this is wider than just considering principles.</p><p> </p><p>We have learnt a great deal from the good work that Wales has done on the Well-Being of Future Generations Act and will continue to do so as we develop our policy statement on the principles as well as wider considerations on environmental governance. This includes reflecting on how the legislative framework is set out and the outcomes that they seek to achieve.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 26/11/2018 17:47:04 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many unaccompanied minors (1) are permitted to resettle, and (2) have been resettled, in the United Kingdom in each month since the introduction of the Vulnerable Children's Resettlement Scheme announced in April 2016.
tabling member printed	Lord Bird
uin	HL11362
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The Vulnerable Children’s Resettlement Scheme (VCRS) resettles ’at-risk’ refugee children from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, including their families. Our aim is to resettle up to 3,000 people (children and families, where the child at risk is part of a family unit) through the scheme by 2020.</p><p><br>The scheme does not solely target unaccompanied children, but on UNHCR’s advice also extends to vulnerable ‘children at risk’, such as those threatened with child labour, child marriage and other forms of abuse or exploitation. It is open to all at risk groups and nationalities within the region. There is therefore no specific quota on the number of unaccompanied children who may be referred to, or resettled through, the scheme.</p><p><br>The numbers resettled in a particular period depend on a range of factors in-cluding the flow of referrals from UNHCR in the field and the availability of suitable accommodation and care packages in the UK</p><p>The latest quarterly Immigration Statistics show that, as of June 2018, a total of 883 people had been resettled through the VCRS. The statistics are available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018." target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/immigration-statistics-year-ending-june-2018.</a> (see table attached for futher information).</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 26/11/2018 17:38:54 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford attachment 1 file name sponsorship-jun-2018-tables.xls.xlsx title Sponsorship - June 2018 - Tables

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office record the number of all individuals referred to the National Referral Mechanism (NRM) and this information is published Quarterly by the National Crime Agency. This information does not distinguish between those detained under immigration powers and those living in the community.</p><p>The reason for this is two-fold, firstly because the NRM referral is not an immigration route by which individuals should regularise their stay in the United Kingdom and secondly, because a person’s status in immigration detention is not permanent and can change. The use of immigration detention in all cases is subject to regular reviews and consequently, a change in circumstance may result in a different consideration. It is quite possible that an immigration detainee is referred to the National Referral Mechanism during a detention period and is released into the community at any point during that process.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 26/11/2018 16:48:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
