This system has been in place since 2005 and means that an application for a NINo is made by the HO on behalf of the individual.</p><p>We have introduced a new process for those refugees who come to the UK via either the Syrian Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Programme or the Gateway Protection Programme. Our joint working with the HO enables DWP Adult NINo Allocation to utilise the refugee’s identity and immigration status details provided by the HO immediately before the refugee arrives in the UK; enabling a NINo to be allocated and printed on their Biometric Residence cards (BRP) as soon as the individual enters the UK, helping to join up services between HO, DWP and Local Authorities.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 04/12/2017 17:40:25 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2017 answer text <p>The aim of Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) is to strengthen EU Member States' cooperation in military matters. PESCO is voluntary and works on an opt-in basis.</p><p>The UK Government has not committed to PESCO but supports its ambition to develop military capabilities that address the shortfalls in EU and NATO contexts. We welcome PESCO as a tool to support the development of capabilities that Europe needs for its security, provided it remains complementary to NATO and encourages EU-NATO cooperation; and that projects carried out under PESCO remain Member State-owned and the capabilities delivered are available not only to the EU but can also be used in support of NATO and UN operations.</p><p>There are no associated working groups but UK officials from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and Ministry of Defence have attended PESCO workshops at both the technical and policy level.</p><p>We are encouraging Member States to develop PESCO to be open to third country participation where there is clear value in doing so.</p><p>Our vision is of a unique third country partnership that enables unprecedented levels of practical cooperation in tackling common threats building on our shared values and interests. We believe that PESCO must be designed in a way that promotes an open and competitive European Defence industry.</p><p>Our approach reflects our commitment to European defence and security, and protecting the interests of UK industry.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 01/12/2017 14:54:11 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
