As explained in the response of 26 April 2018 [137113], the Home Office no longer publishes comprehensive country reports covering all aspects of human rights in that country.

There are currently 12 CPINs on Pakistan, which are updated periodically and available on the Gov.Uk website.

There are two different types of landing cards, \u201cnon-controlled\u201d or \u201ccontrolled\u201d. Non-controlled cards (which account for c.95% of all non-EEA arrivals in 2016) are kept for a maximum of 28 days before they are destroyed.<\/p>

Controlled cards relate mainly to those passengers who arrive in the UK for non-visit purposes such as settlement and this data is retained for 15 years.<\/p>

We do not record centrally the number of landing cards destroyed.<\/p>

The available published information on the number of non-EEA nationals entering the UK is published in Home Office\u2019s Immigration Statistics, year ending March 2018, Admission table ad_01 available from https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/709292/admissions-mar-2018-tables.ods<\/a><\/p>

Letters of apology are being sent from the Home Secretary to the eighteen individuals who we consider are most likely to have suffered detriment because their right to be in the UK was not recognised and where the Department is most likely to have acted wrongfully in removing and / or detaining them. A copy of this letter has been deposited in the House Library.<\/p>

This work is ongoing and the Home Secretary committed to regularly updating the Home Affairs Select Committee on this work, as well as the review into proactive compliant environment sanctions.<\/p>

Children of the Windrush generation who were born in the United Kingdom will generally consider themselves to be British. However, in some cases they may need a document to confirm that status. Others will have the right to register as British. This is being facilitated through the Windrush taskforce. Additionally, any child of a member of the Windrush generation who was born abroad and who came to live in the UK before they were 18 and has been continuously resident and meets the good character requirements may apply to obtain citizenship.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4048", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Nokes"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romsey and Southampton North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Caroline Nokes"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2018-09-06", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "136373"} , {"_value" : "136374"} , {"_value" : "136376"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2018-09-06T15:18:38.887Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2018-04-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Immigration: Windrush Generation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what plans her Department has to review all cases involving the (a) deportation and (b) detention of a Windrush generation child.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/206", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr David Lammy"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tottenham"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr David Lammy"} ], "uin" : "136394"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&min-questionFirstAnswered.=2018-04-30T15%3A11%3A31.447Z&answeringDeptId=1&AnswerDate=2018-04-23", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 22, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
