uin	68558
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2022 answer text <p>We have no plans to change our current approach for appointeeships. This is set out in law and states that where a benefit claimant already has a legally appointed authority acting for them, for example a Guardian, then a separate benefit appointee cannot also be appointed. Instead, the Guardian will act for the claimant; effectively they become the appointee without needing to be so appointed. Where there is more than a single Guardian appointed (joint Guardianship), then to ensure effective management of the claimant’s benefit, the Department asks for a lead contact with whom we will always communicate. If there is no legally appointed third party but there is a joint caring arrangement and an application for appointeeship is received, again for management purposes, the Department will only appoint one of the carers.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Claire Coutinho question first answered 26/10/2022 10:54:56 answering member 4806 label Biography information for Claire Coutinho

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2022 answer text <p>Migrants, including asylum claimants, may be detained for immigration purposes only in accordance with Home Office detention policy, as set out in the Detention General Instructions, and in accordance with the adults at risk in immigration detention policy. The detention decision must always be made on the basis of the individual’s particular circumstances and eligibility for detention. If at any time it is concluded that a particular detained individual’s ongoing detention would not be appropriate, the individual must be released, with bail conditions appropriate to their particular circumstances.</p><p>Most people detained under immigration powers spend only short periods in detention. In the year ending June 2022, data shows that the overwhelming majority of people (98%) who left detention were detained for less than 6 months, and 82% were detained for 28 days or less.  The great majority of asylum claims are processed in the non-detained system, with claimants living in the community. Only a small minority of claimants are detained whilst their claim is considered.</p> answering member constituency Clwyd South answering member printed Simon Baynes question first answered 07/09/2022 13:54:24 answering member 4800 label Biography information for Simon Baynes
