	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department was made aware of the immigration status difficulties of individual cases, as flagged by members of the House and the media. The wider issue around the immigration status difficulties affecting some of the Windrush generation has come to the fore, and the attention of Ministers, in recent months. On the 16 April we set up a Taskforce to help those affected get documents they need and on 30 May, the Windrush Scheme came into force. This Scheme is designed to ensure that members of this generation, their children born in the UK and those who arrived in the UK as minors will be able to apply for citizenship, or various other immigration products, free of charge.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 26/06/2018 13:36:37 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>As the Home Secretary made clear at the launch of the Serious Violence Strategy on 9 April the Guardian had not shared the leaked document with us and so she was unable to verify if she had seen that particular report. However, she had seen analysis from Home Office officials as the strategy and its underlying evidence developed.</p><p>The Strategy sets out the evidence upon which we have based our response. The reasons behind the increase in violent crime are complex and multi-faceted. The Strategy makes clear that the evidence shows that enforcement can play a vital role in tackling these offences, but big shifts in crime trends tend to be driven by factors outside of the police’s control – like drug trends and markets, changes in housing and vehicle security. Available evidence suggests this latest shift in serious violence is no exception. The final analysis is set out in Chapter One of the Strategy.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 26/06/2018 13:52:05 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/06/2018 answer text <p>To obtain settled status, EU citizens and their family members will generally need to have lived continuously in the UK for five years (the continuous qualifying period). Those with less than five years’ continuous residence will be eligible to apply for pre-settled status.</p><p>For those in the continuous qualifying period for settled status, “continuously resident” means that a person has not been absent from the UK for more than six months in total in any 12-month period. There is no restriction on the number of absences permitted, provided that the total period of absence does not exceed six months in any 12-month period.</p><p>There are some exceptions to this; one instance of 12-month absence in a five-year period is permitted for an important reason such as work, study, serious illness or pregnancy. We will be pragmatic about what activity constitutes an important reason. Any period of absence for compulsory military service is also permitted.</p><p>However, for applicants who have been continuously resident in the UK for five years, and are therefore eligible for settled status, “continuously resident” means that since completing that period they have not been absent from the UK for more than five consecutive years.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 156369 question first answered 26/06/2018 16:41:34 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
