	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>By its very nature, it is not possible to know the exact number of the illegal population and so we do not seek to make any official estimates on this. The Government’s New Plan for Immigration will make it harder for people to enter and live in the UK illegally, whilst ensuring that those who do have the right to reside in the UK can do so.</p><p>The vast majority of people leave the UK on time, in line with the expiry of their visa or leave to remain. However, those who have no right to remain in the UK and do not return home voluntarily should be in no doubt of our determination to remove them.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 17/05/2021 08:38:28 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrant’s report, We Are Here, published April 2021, what steps victims of domestic abuse should take who are without leave to remain and who are unwilling to report the abuse for fear of deportation.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>This Government is committed to supporting all victims of domestic abuse, regardless of their immigration status. Victims of crime are treated first and foremost as victims and are encouraged to report crimes to the police. If in doing so an individual is found to have no status in the UK, we carefully consider the individual’s circumstances before determining whether enforcement action is appropriate.</p><p>We undertook to review our overall response to migrant victims of domestic abuse in response to the recommendations of the Joint Committee on the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill.</p><p>It is clear from the review that we need a better evidence base before we can make robust policy decisions about the longer-term support group of victims. That is why the Government has launched the £1.5m Support for Migrant Victims Scheme which will be run by Southall Black Sisters and their delivery partners. This scheme will provide accommodation and support for migrant victims of domestic abuse with no recourse to public funds, as well as providing wrap around provisions, including emotional support, and more practical support such as immigration advice. Additionally, it will provide the data required to inform subsequent policy decisions.</p><p>Already, we offer support to migrant victims of domestic abuse on certain spousal visas through our Destitute Domestic Violence Concession, which enables individuals to access public funds for three months and can be used to fund safe accommodation. Furthermore, victims can apply for the Domestic Violence Indefinite Leave to Remain route (DVILR).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 17/05/2021 15:55:18 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>Waking Watch, when operated in accordance with the Simultaneous Evacuation Guidance published by the National Fire Chief’s Council (NFCC) is a legitimate risk mitigation measure in buildings which move from a stay put to simultaneous evacuation fire safety strategy. NFCC guidance recommends that a Waking Watch should only be in place for a short period of time and that the Responsible Person should move quickly to install a common fire alarm system as they are a more cost effective and reliable option.</p><p>We are aware that too many buildings are relying on Waking Watch for too long and that in many cases the costs are being borne by leaseholders. That is why we have provided £30 million to install common alarm systems in eligible buildings to replace expensive Waking Watch measures. No interim measures should be considered as a substitute for completing remediation as quickly as possible.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 17/05/2021 16:25:50 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
