answer text <p>The internal database in question is used by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Command of the National Crime Agency (NCA), and was used by the CEOP Centre before it, to store indecent images of children identified in <br>the course of investigations. Childbase could only be accessed by CEOP officers. UK Police Forces were able to request checks on the database images and hash sets. These checks were completed by the Victim Identification Team at <br>CEOP. This process has remained in place for checks against the internal NCA-CEOP database which replaced Childbase. Following an information assurance process and before its closure, all of the intelligence held in Childbase was <br>transferred into this new internal database.<br><br>The Government is currently working with the NCA and police forces to introduce the national Child Abuse Image Database, which will act as a single repository for all indecent images of children and their hashes identified as part of UK <br>enforcement operations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>There are three routes of entry to the UK for religious workers and ministers of religion. Those coming for longer term roles under Tier 2 of the Points Based System are required to demonstrate that that are proficient in English at level B2 (upper intermediate level) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.</p><p>No assessment of English language is required for religious workers coming to fill temporary positions under Tier 5 of the Points Based System. Similarly those entering at short term visitors are not required to demonstrate proficiency in English language. We are actively reviewing the Immigration Rules for religious routes of entry including English language requirements.</p><p>This Government is committed to preventing the entry into the UK of individuals whose behaviours and views are not conducive to shared values such as democracy, the rule of law and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs. Since May 2010, the Home Secretary has excluded 84 preachers of hate. The Home Secretary uses these powers when justified and based on all available evidence. Where appropriate, this may include public statements and written material.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>We are building an immigration system that is fair to British citizens and legitimate migrants, that is tough on those who abuse the system or flout the law, and that ensures people come to the UK for the right reasons – to work hard and contribute to our economy and society.</p><p>We have cut net migration from outside the EU by nearly a quarter since 2010 – close to levels not seen since the late 1990s. We have also clamped down on nearly 800 illicit colleges, reduced 45,000 visas from the further education route; and cut family visas by nearly a third since it came to power.</p><p>Our reforms have also made it more difficult for EU migrants to claim benefits in the UK and, through the landmark Immigration Act, made it tougher for illegal immigrants to remain by restricting access to work, housing, benefits, healthcare, bank accounts and driving licences and making it easier to remove those who have no right to be here by reducing the number of appeals.</p><p>The Government has reformed benefits, healthcare and housing rules to make them among the tightest in Europe and we continue to see an increase in the number of British citizens in work. In the past, the majority of growth in employment was taken up by foreign nationals; in the last year, two-thirds of it was accounted for by UK nationals. This shows that our immigration policy benefits UK nationals first while still attracting skilled migrants needed by British business.</p><p>However there is more to be done. The Prime Minister set out further measures to reduce migration, including EU migration, in his immigration speech delivered on 28 November.</p><p> </p>
