We chose these 12 areas to make sure that there was a geographical spread, allowing us to test approaches in a rural context as well as in urban and coastal locations.</p><p>Outside of the work undertaken in OAs, the department has made no assessment of social exclusion in rural areas.

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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State speaks to his NATO counterparts regularly to discuss a range of defence and security policy issues. This particular issue is of deep concern to the UK. The UK, alongside other European NATO partners, met with Iranian authorities on 8 January 2019 to raise our deep concerns regarding hostile activities and plots being planned and perpetrated in Europe. The UK has released a statement condemning these actions. The UK nonetheless remains committed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, for as long as Iran continues to implement it in full. However, we are clear that this commitment does not preclude us from addressing other hostile and destabilising activities.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 14/01/2019 17:02:59 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
