There are no plans to create a mechanism to allow asylum interviews to be conducted in Turkey on behalf of EU countries.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 19/11/2015 16:21:06 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

uin	15696
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>The Government reformed the Immigration Rules for adult dependent relatives in July 2012 in light of the significant NHS and social care costs which can be associated with these cases. The new rules seek to ensure that only those who have a genuine need to be physically close to and cared for by a close relative in the UK are able to settle here. Those who do not have such care needs can be supported financially in the country in which they live by their relative in the UK. We have kept the family Immigration Rules under regular review in light of any evidence received as to their impact and will continue to do so.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/11/2015 17:52:42 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/11/2015 answer text <p>The Family Test was announced by the Prime Minister in August 2014 and introduced in October 2014. The DWP published guidance for Departments and officials on how the test should be applied when formulating policy and my Department follows that guidance.</p><p>The guidance can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/368894/family-test-guidance.pdf</p><p>The Family Test is also being integrated within the Department’s impact assessment process to ensure it is consistently addressed. Recognising that all Government policies will impact on families in some way, the Government’s guidance on the Family Test is clear that policies should pass a threshold of proportionality before the Family Test is applied in full. New Home Office policies in the current Parliament have not met the threshold for applying the Family Test. The Family Test, when applied, will be published as part of the relevant impact assessment.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire grouped question UIN 16021 question first answered 18/11/2015 18:09:57 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
