answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>On 27 March, the Government launched the Anti-social Behaviour Action Plan (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-action-plan" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/anti-social-behaviour-action-plan</a>) ensuring the police, local authorities and other relevant agencies have the powers they need to tackle the blight of anti-social behaviour, including off road bike nuisance, facing communities across England and Wales.</p><p>The plan is backed by £160m of funding. This includes up to £60m to fund an increased police and other uniformed presence to clamp down on anti-social behaviour, targeting hotspots. Initially we are working with 10 police force areas, but from 2024 we will support a hotspot approach across every police force area in England and Wales. We are also providing up to £50m to support the provision of Immediate Justice, by issuing out of court disposals with conditions to swiftly repair any damage – the aim being for them to start within 48 hours of referral. This will start in 10 initial trailblazer police force areas and be rolled out across England and Wales from 2024.</p><p>The police, local authorities and other local agencies can deal with anti-social behaviour involving vehicles (e.g. off-road bikes, racing round estates, driving across public open spaces) in the same way as they deal with any other anti-social behaviour. It is for local areas to decide how best to deploy these powers depending on the specific circumstances. They are best placed to understand what is driving the behaviour in question, the impact that it is having, and to determine the most appropriate response.</p><p>We are giving the police the resources they need to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. Greater Manchester Police recruited 1,280 additional uplift officers against a total three-year allocation of 1,155 officers. On 31 March 2023, there were 8,067 police officers in Greater Manchester, a total growth of 1,280 additional officers against the baseline (6,787) at the start of the Police Uplift Programme. Greater Manchester’s funding will be up to £740.1m in 2023/24, an increase of up to £25.0m when compared to 2022/23.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 14/09/2023 13:25:42 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

Of these, 27 forces provided data on age of the person strip searched.</p><p>It is usual practice for new data collections added to the Annual Data Requirement (ADR) to be collected on a voluntary basis for the first year of data collection, to allow forces time to embed recording processes and make changes to their systems as required. As such, not all forces provided data or provided partial data and therefore the data were published as experimental statistics. It is mandatory for police forces to provide this data for the year ending March 2023.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 09/05/2023 15:40:50 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2023 answer text <p>The Home Office takes the wellbeing, welfare and security of children and minors in our care extremely seriously. Robust safeguarding procedures are in place to ensure all children and minors are safe and supported as we seek urgent placements with local authorities. All children receive a welfare interview on their arrival at accommodation, which includes questions designed to identify potential indicators of trafficking or safeguarding issues. If required, tailored safety plans are put in place.</p><p>There are no hotels for unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) in Stockport.</p><p>We have no power to detain unaccompanied asylum-seeking children in hotels and we know some do go missing. Adults are not detained and are free to come and go therefore the Home Office does not hold data for the total number of adult and child asylum seekers that were accommodated via the Home Office that are missing in a reportable format.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 09/03/2023 17:05:34 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>We are developing a border and immigration system which is “digital-by-default”, which over time means we will increasingly replace physical and paper-based products and services with accessible, easy to use online and digital services.</p><p>We have been rolling out eVisas since 2018, first with the EU Settlement Scheme and increasingly on other immigration routes, so the number of eVisa holders is continuing to rise. We are making eVisas available primarily by route rather than on the basis of nationality, but increasing numbers of applicants, including Indian nationals, will benefit from the issue of eVisas rather than physical products.</p><p>As set out in the New Plan for Immigration: legal migration and border control strategy, published on 20 July, our ambition is to phase out use of physical documents as evidence of status by the end of 2024.</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-plan-for-immigration-legal-migration-and-border-control-strategy</p><p>We are aware of British nationals' concerns regarding their exclusion from the Government of India’s (GoI) list of countries eligible for e-visas. We regularly raise our concerns with the GoI. Most recently, the Foreign Secretary raised this matter with her Indian counterpart during her last visit to India.</p><p>British nationals can continue to use the GoI’s regular/paper visa application services for all visa categories.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2021 answer text <p>The UK has a proud record of providing protection for people who need it, in accordance with our obligations under the Refugee Convention and the European Convention on Human Rights. However, there is no provision within our Immigration Rules for someone to be allowed to travel to the UK to seek asylum or temporary refuge. Whilst we acknowledge the increasingly complex situation in Afghanistan, we are not bound to consider asylum claims from the very large numbers of people overseas who might like to come here. Those who need international protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach – that is the fastest route to safety.</p><p> </p><p>While we do not allow asylum claims from abroad, all asylum claims that are lodged from within the UK, including those from Afghan nationals that are based on sexual orientation or gender identity, will be carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with our international obligations. Those who need protection will normally be granted five years’ limited leave, have full access to the labour market and mainstream benefits, and can apply for settlement after five years.</p><p> </p><p>We do not remove asylum seekers who have had to leave their countries because their sexuality or gender identity has put them at risk of persecution and no one who is found to be at risk of persecution or serious harm in Afghanistan will be expected to return there. Enforced returns of those who have been refused asylum and have exhausted all rights of appeal are also currently paused while we consider the situation.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s new resettlement scheme will, however, offer a route welcoming Afghans most at risk who have been forced to flee the country. We will work with UNHCR and partners in the region to prioritise those at risk, such as women and girls at risk, and ethnic, religious and LGBT+ minority groups at risk.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 18/10/2021 15:55:12 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
