tabling member constituency	Linlithgow and East Falkirk
tabling member printed	Martyn Day
uin	55303
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2016 answer text <p>Flexible working benefits both employees and employers: it can enable people with mental health issues to maximise their contribution at work and help employers to retain and make use of their skills. The Government extended the Right to Request Flexible Working to all employees with 26 weeks qualifying service in 2014, where previously it applied only to employees with children and carers of certain adults. The legislation strikes a balance between giving employees flexibility and giving employers the certainty that they need to plan. Many employers agree flexible working arrangements with employees outside the statutory framework. I would encourage employers to be open to flexible working options when recruiting, and to make this visible when advertising jobs.</p><p>Our health and welfare systems need to reflect the benefits that work can bring and offer the opportunity to work for all those who can, help for those who could, and care for those who cannot. Our recent green paper <em>Work, Health and Disability: Improving Lives</em> reflects our ambitious approach to work and health.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 07/12/2016 17:15:43 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2016 answer text <p>The immigration health surcharge aims to ensure that temporary, non-EEA migrants make a fair contribution to the cost of healthcare in the UK, in line with their immigration status. Temporary, non-EEA migrants have not built up the long-term relationship and contribution to the UK that a permanent resident has built up, and will build up, over the course of their lifetime. It is, therefore, the migrant’s immigration status that determines whether or not they pay the surcharge, not their tax or national insurance contributions.</p><p>The Government recognises that migrants who pay the surcharge may contribute to the economy in a number of ways, including by paying income tax and national insurance and this contribution is reflected in the surcharge levels, which are set below the average per capita cost to the NHS of treating non-EEA temporary migrants.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 02/12/2016 12:08:47 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

We are continuing to work closely with the French authorities to identify unaccompanied asylum seeking children who are eligible to come to the UK. The French Government has confirmed that all unaccompanied children present in the camp in Calais have been moved to specialist facilities across France. Specialist Home Office staff are attending these centres, along with social workers and interpreters, to make sure those children who may be eligible continue to be assessed and can be transferred as quickly as possible to the UK.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 30/11/2016 14:44:33 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>The immigration health surcharge, set at £200 a year for temporary migrants and £150 a year for students and youth mobility scheme visa applicants, is lower than the estimated per capita cost to the NHS of providing treatment to temporary migrants.</p><p>It is a migrant’s immigration status that determines whether they pay the surcharge. Temporary migrants have not built up the long-term relationship and contribution to the UK that a permanent resident has built up, and will build up, over the course of their lifetime. The Government does recognise, however, that temporary migrants may contribute to the economy in a number of ways, including by paying income tax and national insurance and this contribution is reflected in the surcharge levels stated above, which are designed to represent a fair contribution towards the cost of providing the full range of NHS services available to surcharge payers.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 30/11/2016 14:55:06 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
