The no recourse to public funds (NRPF) condition is applied to the leave of most migrants in the UK as a legitimate means of maintaining and protecting our economic resources.</p><p>In those cases where leave has been, or is being, granted for family or private life reasons the NRPF condition can be lifted on application to the Home Office if that is necessary to meet the welfare needs of children. In addition, immigration legislation specifically provides for children to remain eligible for support from a local authority under section 17 of the Children Act 1989, and an assessment of welfare needs will be part of providing that support.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 252084 question first answered 16/05/2019 15:10:44 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
