	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2020 answer text <p>The Home Office has published its policy equality statement on the impact of the No Recourse to Public Fund (NRPF) policy on migrants on the 10-year human rights route and specifically addresses the point relating to the impact on British children. It can be found at the following link:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/application-for-change-of-conditions-of-leave-to-allow-access-to-public-funds-if-your-circumstances-change</p><p> </p><p>The NRPF policy is based on the well-established principle that migrants coming to the UK are expected to maintain and support themselves and their families without posing a burden on the UK’s welfare system. Access to benefits and other publicly funded services reflects the strength of a migrant’s connections to the UK and is normally linked to indefinite leave to remain.</p><p>Individuals with leave under the family or private life routes, including those with British children, can apply for the restriction on accessing public funds to be lifted or not imposed if they are at risk of destitution or where there are concerns about the welfare of their child.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/10/2020 15:41:19 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2022 answer text <p>Home Office Migration Statistics do not specifically capture the information on how many visas are granted by sector. We do publish data on the total number of certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) used, which can be found in our latest <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fstatistical-data-sets%2Fmanaged-migration-datasets%23sponsorship&amp;data=04%7C01%7CVandCSheffield.PQandFOI%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7Ca0d4c960f3874f1c506c08d9df39d52f%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637786261737147205%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=WvUYZ4QVycW9InICymPsD9%2Fxg%2FOsaMOXdwkY1LnPQso%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Work sponsorship data tables</a>. The data in table CoS_D01 can be broken down by industry, which are the same as those listed in the ONS Labour Force Survey.</p><p>However, the number of CoS used is approximate to the number of visa applications received. There is no standard way of linking data on the numbers of CoS which have been used to make visa applications with the numbers of visas granted.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster grouped question UIN 109175 question first answered 28/01/2022 14:37:11 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
