answer text <p>We welcome those who wish to make a life in the UK with their family, work hard and make a contribution, but family life must not be established here at the taxpayer's expense. The minimum income threshold under the family Immigration Rules for sponsoring a non-European Economic Area national spouse to come to the UK aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration. Its level reflects advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee on the income which means a family settled in the UK will generally cease to be able to access income-related benefits.</p><p>The employment prospects of the migrant spouse are no guarantee that they will find work in the UK. Those with an appropriate job offer here can apply under Tier 2 of the Points Based System. Migrant spouses coming to the UK under the family route must be capable of being independently supported by their sponsor or by their joint savings or non-employment income. The courts have agreed that this is a matter of public policy for the Government and Parliament to determine.</p>

answer text <p>Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a crime. We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls. On 22 July, the Government marked the first anniversary of the Girl Summit – the first global summit to mobilise domestic and international efforts to end FGM and child and forced marriage within a generation. All of the commitments made at the Summit have now been delivered, with Home Office commitments including:</p><p>• a new mandatory reporting duty, provided for in the Serious Crime Act 2015 and due to commence in October this year, which will require specified professionals to report ‘known’ cases of FGM to the police;</p><p>• the launch of the Home Office’s FGM Unit, which provides outreach support to local areas and works with the police, voluntary and community sector, survivors and professionals to develop policies and practices to end FGM;</p><p>• providing resources for frontline professionals, including: a resource pack, e-learning, and distributing over 440,000 communication materials; and</p><p>• the launch of a force level inspection by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary on the police response to ‘honour’ based violence, including FGM, to help ensure the enforcement is as good as it can be. Ministers signed a cross-Government declaration outlining this progress and reaffirming this Government’s commitment to tackling this appalling crime.</p>

answer text <p>The Criminal Procedure Rules place the responsibility for alerting the court to any defendant’s previous convictions, both domestic and overseas, whether for the purposes of bail or for the purposes of sentencing, on the prosecutor. Courts must give consideration to that information when it is available but rely on the Police to obtain and provide it.</p><p>In the last five years, the Government has made huge progress in requesting and obtaining criminal record data from other countries about foreign nationals who are arrested in the UK. Since 2010 checks on foreign nationals going through the UK criminal justice system have increased by nearly 1,500%, helping us to take more foreign criminals off our streets and making our communities safer.</p><p>Work is under way to improve processes used by the police when relaying overseas convictions to prosecutors. Digitisation of these processes will enable officers to flag up whether a check has been completed and whether detained persons have any overseas convictions. To assist the courts, the Government will shortly be providing guidance to Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service on obtaining and using overseas conviction data in criminal proceedings.</p><p>The ACRO Criminal Records Office has also been looking to improve access to the overseas convictions of UK nationals convicted abroad and, where appropriate, this information is placed onto the Police National Computer so that it is available in the event that the subject appears before the courts.</p>
