question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the number of asylum-seeking children who are unable to apply for UK citizenship due to the cost of the application fee.
tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL15566
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office have not made any estimation of the number of asylum seeking children unable to apply for UK citizenship due to the cost of the application fee.</p><p>In line with international law, the UK does not charge for asylum applications. Those granted refugee status can then apply for indefinite leave to remain at the end of their limited leave period. This application is also free of charge.</p><p>Applying for British nationality is not mandatory and many individuals who have indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status choose not to apply. This is because, in addition to lawful permanent residence in the UK, a person with ILR enjoys the benefits of full access to the UK labour market, state education and healthcare and the ability to sponsor family members’ residence in the UK. Fees for citizenship applications apply equally to all applicants.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/05/2019 15:30:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their projected forecast for the number of (1) refugees, and (2) asylum seekers they expect to accept in each of the next five years; and whether they expect those projected figures to change if the UK (a) does, and (b) does not, leave the EU.

uin	HL14473
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>Population projections, including for different migration scenarios, are the responsibility of the independent Office for National Statistics.</p><p>The Home Office does not publish the projections indicated. As indicated in the report for the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC), Evaluation of existing migration forecasting methods and models, there are many social, economic and political drivers which can impact migration flows, making forecasting migration an extremely difficult task. Migration is susceptible to shock events which are, by their very nature, hard to predict, such as economic cycles, military conflict and policy changes. Therefore, the probability of a single forecast being correct is low.</p><p>Notwithstanding this, we remain on track to deliver our commitment of resettling up to 23,000 vulnerable refugees under our resettlement schemes by 2020 and are confident that the outcome of EU Exit will not impact our ability to achieve this.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 26/03/2019 16:18:50 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
