On 1 July 2013 the MAC published a "Report on the economic and labour market impacts of tier 1 entrepreneur and investor migrants to the UK" which it had commissioned from the Migration Observatory. The report made a number of findings, although it concluded that it was too early to make a full assessment of the economic contribution of the two routes without further research. The report is available on the gov.uk website at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/economic-and-labour-market-impacts-tier-1-entrepreneur-and-investor-migrants<\/a>
More recently, on 25 February 2014 the MAC published its own report, "Tier 1 (Investor) route: investment thresholds and economic benefits" in response to a Government commission. The MAC concluded that the direct investment required by the route is of little or no benefit, but there is some benefit from indirect spending by investors and their families in the UK (although this is difficult to quantify). The report is available on the gov.uk website at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-investment-limits-and-economic-benefits-of-the-tier-1-investor-route-feb-2014<\/a>
The Government keeps all routes under review and is currently considering its response to the MAC's report on the Tier 1 (Investor) route.<\/p>

sectors, as part of the process of policy development and delivery. Details of
these meetings are passed to the Cabinet Office on a quarterly basis and are
subsequently published on the Gov.uk website:

In order to align this answer with the method used for collating the data- "Information received from the public" has been interpreted as allegations and "deportation" has been referred to as removals.<\/p>

Friend, the Minister for the Cabinet Office, gave a commitment to put an annual report before Parliament on progress against objectives set out in the strategy.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The Minister for the Cabinet Office gave the second annual report on 12 December 2013 (Official Report, Column 43WS to 47 WS). The Minister for the Cabinet Office also placed before Parliament a list of achievements over the proceeding year and a document that outlines its forward plans, priorities and some key initiatives to be taken forward. This includes work undertaken within objective one of the strategy including the Cyber Crime Reduction Partnership. The documents can be found at:<\/p> https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-cyber-security-strategy-2-years-on<\/p> <\/p> The Partnership, one of a set of new engagement structures with industry on Cyber Security, provides an opportunity to raise awareness of cyber crime amongst members, helping them to become more resilient to the threat. Based on a shared workplan, it provides a forum for partners to share views and contribute to key actions in the Strategy.<\/p> <\/p>"}

The police and local authorities have powers to enforce that Act, but any person or organisation (such as the RSPCA) can initiate criminal proceedings under it.<\/p> <\/p> In addition to the Government's funding for individual police forces to tackle all types of crime, including wildlife crime, the Home Office and DEFRA both contribute funding to support the work of the National Wildlife Crime Unit, the national police unit dedicated to tackling wildlife crime. And where wildlife crimes are sufficiently serious, organised or complex, the National Crime Agency will ensure that partners across the law enforcement community benefit from its coordination, tasking and intelligence arrangements, as well as being able to access its specialist capabilities. Furthermore, the Home Office plays a key role in the Government's efforts to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, which is a serious transnational criminal industry worth billions of pounds each year. I was therefore pleased that, at the recent London Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference which I attended, world leaders from over forty countries made a commitment to eradicate the trade.<\/p> <\/p> The Home Office also regulates the use of living animals in scientific procedures in England, Scotland and Wales under the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
