	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>It is the Secretary of State’s policy to defer a decision on a leave to remain application where there is a criminal prosecution pending, as the outcome is likely to be material to the decision on that application.</p><p>How long an application from a person with a pending prosecution recorded against them must be held undecided will depend on what stage the criminal proceedings have reached, and when the relevant criminal justice system is in a position to resolve it. In the majority of cases where a prosecution outcome is awaited, and the outstanding application cannot be refused under the Immigration Rules as it stands on the basis of existing evidence, it may only be resolved once the court case is concluded. Where a person has valid leave when they make an application, their existing immigration status is preserved pending resolution of the application for further leave.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 30/04/2018 14:23:28 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/04/2018 answer text <p>The number of enforced returns from the UK to Somalia is published in table rt_05 (returns data tables, volume 5) in ‘Immigration Statistics, October - December 2017’, available from the GOV.uk website at:</p><p><br><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/681251/returns5-oct-dec-2017-tables.ods" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/681251/returns5-oct-dec-2017-tables.ods</a></p><p>The term 'deportations' refers to a legally-defined subset of returns which are enforced either following a criminal conviction or when it is judged that a person’s removal from the UK is conducive to the public good. Information on those deported is not separately available but the published statistics refer to enforced returns. This includes deportations, as well as cases where a person has breached UK immigration laws, and those removed under other administrative and illegal entry powers who have declined to leave voluntarily.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 30/04/2018 13:38:17 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
