answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>​We do not maintain statistics on the cost of repatriation. We do have statistics on the number and value of emergency loans given to victims of forced marriage for repatriation purposes since 2012. The cost of repatriating victims of forced marriage to the UK varies, and is dependent on individual circumstances including the victim’s age and the country that they are in. There are also different routes for funding repatriation: in the majority of cases the family cover the cost of the repatriation<strong>. </strong>Where possible, the Government to seek to ensure the costs fall on the perpetrators by means of Forced Marriage Protection Orders (FMPOs). After being served with an FMPO the victim’s family, who are usually responsible for the victim travelling overseas against their wishes or under false pretences, would be instructed to arrange and pay for them to return to the UK within a specific period.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 14/01/2019 16:10:51 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information. BT gainshare/clawback was built into all of the Superfast contracts. This has been re-invested into a number of recent Superfast contracts and change requests. However those contracts and change requests also included a blend of other funding from BDUK, Local Bodies, Suppliers, ERDF and EAFRD. Furthermore in many cases those contracts have consisted of a mixture of Fibre to the Cabinet and Fibre to the Premise. Therefore it is difficult to determine a one to one correlation between clawback and Full Fibre connections.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 14/01/2019 16:09:25 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government will now seek powers for a pilot for managed migration and has replaced the regulations laid before the House on 5 November 2018, with two separate Statutory Instruments.</p><p>There is a new provision within one of these Statutory Instruments which will mean that we will only move 10,000 onto Universal Credit as part of managed migration. In this way the Government is legislating for ‘piloting powers’ rather than the migration of all claimants. This is in line with suggestions from both the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee and the Work and Pensions Select Committee. We will report on our findings from the pilot before bringing forward legislation to extend managed migration.</p><p>The pilot will begin - as planned - from July 2019 and does not affect the timeline for delivering Universal Credit, which will be completed in 2023.</p><p>Written statement HCWS1243, laid on 11 January 2019, confirms this: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-01-11/HCWS1243/" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-01-11/HCWS1243/.</a></p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 14/01/2019 18:13:04 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
