Since 2010 we have completely reformed the immigration system, cutting abuse whilst focusing on attracting the brightest and the best.</p><p>We are tackling illegal immigration by making it harder for those who do not qualify under the Immigration Rules to live here illegally, including through measures introduced in the Immigration Acts 2014 and 2016. We have taken action against over 1,000 colleges to prevent the admission of non-genuine students into the country. We continue to take enforcement action against employers who employ illegal workers; applying civil penalties, intervening with licensing authorities to withdraw licences, and closing their business premises where necessary.</p><p>In addition, we have pursued an ambitious programme of reform at the border, included investment in new technology in the United Kingdom and at our juxtaposed controls to keep this country safe, with Border Force transforming its working practices, command and control and leadership. These reforms are working and border security has been enhanced.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/03/2019 16:56:17 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2019 answer text <p>Immunoglobulins are not currently licensed for the treatment of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). However, immunoglobulin therapy may be used ‘off-label’, if there are no other alternative licensed products available and the physician considers that immunoglobin therapy is appropriate to address the clinical need in order to manage a patient with MCAS. This decision, under the full responsibility of the physician, will need to be made following discussion between the physician and the patient.</p><p> </p><p>In order to gain a licence for the use of immunoglobulin therapy for the treatment of MCAS, a Marketing Authorisation Holder would have to submit a variation to their Marketing Authorisation to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) with a dossier compiled of safety and efficacy data. Specialist assessors would review the dossier and a variation to the Marketing Authorisation would only be granted if it is determined that the benefits of the product outweigh any potential risks of using the product in its proposed indication.</p><p> </p><p>The MHRA provides a scientific advice service to Marketing Authorisation Holders regarding their submissions should they request it.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 20/02/2019 16:45:11 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
