The published EUSS figures include non-EEA family members, Irish nationals, and eligible EEA citizens not resident in the UK, none of whom are usually included in ONS estimates of the resident EU population. Furthermore, the population estimates do not take account of people’s migration intentions and will include people who have come to the UK for a range of purposes, including some who have no intention to settle in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 11/02/2020 15:28:16 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/02/2020 answer text <p>As announced in the Queen’s Speech we are introducing the Serious Violence Bill, which will put a duty on police, councils and health authorities to prevent and reduce serious violence.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>Individuals who disclose they are victims of torture whilst in an Immigration Removal Centre are managed under Rule 35 of the Detention Centre Rules 2001. Data on the number of reports made by a medical practitioner under Rule 35 is published quarterly in the Immigration Enforcement transparency data (table DT_03) online at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/migration-transparency-data</a></p><p>The Home Office does not however hold central records which make the distinction between those accepted and not accepted as being victims of torture within the Rule 35 process. We cannot therefore report on the number of individuals referred for a Rule 35 assessment that were subsequently accepted as victims of torture without reviewing individual case files, which could only be done at disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster grouped question UIN 11654 question first answered 11/02/2020 14:34:50 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
