I can confirm that the returns charter flight to Jamaica took place on 6 February 2019. I do not plan to cancel any other returns charter flights.<\/p>

Returns charter flight operations remain an important means by which we return illegal migrants and Foreign National Offenders without a right to remain in the UK. They would otherwise have to be returned alongside fare paying passengers on scheduled flights.<\/p>

The UK Borders Act 2007 requires that the Home Secretary issues a deporta-tion order for anyone who is a foreign national offender sentenced to a period of 12 months or more imprisonment. That is a legal requirement. Most liberal democracies around the world have similar laws in place. British offenders in foreign states are often deported back to the UK, including from Jamaica, which has in the past deported British nationals who have committed serious offences back to the UK.<\/p>

Everyone deported on the returns charter flight to Jamaica was a foreign national offender. All of them have been convicted of serious crimes, such as rape, murder, firearms offences and drug trafficking. This law applies universally to all foreign national offenders.<\/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" : "2019-02-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-08T12:03:17.09Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Deportation: Charter Flights"} , "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, if he will (a) stay the imminent deportation charter flight to Jamaica and (b) cancel all such flights pending the completion of an independent review of (i) the effect on black and minority ethnic communities of his Department\u2019s immigration policy and practice and (ii) how that policy and practice might be reformed to improve fairness and efficiency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3930", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Lucas"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Pavilion"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Caroline Lucas"} ], "uin" : "217012"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1055010", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1055010/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government Equalities Office have been focused on ensuring support is in place for disabled candidates for the forthcoming local elections in May. The £250,000 interim EnAble Fund for Elected Office has been open since December 2018.<\/p>

<\/p>

Alongside this, officials have met political parties, including the Green Party, and several disability organisations to work on options and solutions for long-term support including for smaller parties and independents.<\/p>

<\/p>

While this work is ongoing political parties should consider how best to put in place sustainable measures to support disabled candidates.<\/p>

The NHS Long Term Plan was published on 7 January 2019 and commits the National Health Service to including a \u2018digital flag\u2019 in the patient record by 2023/24, which will ensure staff know a patient has a learning disability or autism. In addition, NHS staff will receive information and training on supporting people with a learning disability and/ or autism. Sustainability and transformation partnerships and integrated care systems will be expected to make sure all local healthcare providers are making reasonable adjustments to support people with a learning disability or autism. NHS England will also pilot the introduction of a specific health check for people with autism, and if successful, extend it more widely.<\/p>

A consistent methodology for collecting data on the number of people sleeping rough on a typical night has been in place across local authorities since 2010. Local authorities themselves decide whether to undertake a count or estimate to determine their snapshot figure. They should use the method that will most accurately reflect the number of people sleeping rough in their area. All counts and estimates are checked on the night by an independent verifier from Homeless Link, funded by the Government, to certify reliability.<\/p>

Whilst Brighton and Hove conducted an estimate in 2017 and undertook a count in 2018, an estimate or count should return same figure. The latter is a visible count of those seen, and the former an evidence based assessment of those thought to be sleeping rough on a single given night. There are a number of reasons for changing methodology, including improvements in knowledge and capacity of outreach services, changes in the number of people thought to be sleeping rough or belief that the change will result in a more accurate return. Brighton has changed methodology before. In the last 9 years it has counted 6 times and estimated 3 times.<\/p>

There are a range of factors which impact the number of people seen or thought to be seen sleeping rough on single night, including the weather on the night of the count or estimate. It can also be affected by where people choose to sleep, the date and time chosen by the local authority, and the availability of alternatives such as night shelters. We know the weather was unseasonably cold this year and that Severe Weather Emergency Provision (SWEP) was enforced. Undoubtably this may have meant people found alternatives to sleeping rough or bedded down deeper. However, those in SWEP are importantly still included in the resultant figure and it is unfortunately unrealistic to expect complete weather consistency year on year.<\/p>

MHCLG officials are aware of the letter mentioned and that Brighton are undertaking their own formal process to address this. Attaining as comprehensive a rough sleeping figure as possible each year is crucial intelligence - not only to the Government but all those with an interest in addressing the problem of homelessness. This is why a large number of local partners are consulted as part of the count and estimate process and 244 (75 per cent) of local authorities, including Brighton and Hove, reported consultation of 5 or more different agencies. The Government also funds Homeless Link to independently verify all counts and estimates that are undertaken to further ensure they are both reliable and robust. This includes following the guidance on counting not only those sleeping rough on the street, but also those in a myriad of situations including in tents, encampments, buildings, and other places not designed for habitation.<\/p>

Of course it is unrealistic to assume a count or estimate can ever be 100 per cent accurate and MHCLG is encouraging local authorities with larger numbers to improve their year-round data. However, a great deal of committed work has been undertaken in Brighton and Hove, including that backed by almost £500,000 in Rough Sleeping Initiative funding for 2018/19 and £35,000 in Cold Weather funding. As such, they\u2019ve deservedly made an inspiring impact and this is reflected in their annual return and our own intelligence. We hope this driven work will continue in the next year with the schemes including the 2019/20 round of RSI funding (provisionally allocated at £711,524) and the Rapid Rehousing Pathway (providing £555,025 in 2018/19 and over £1.36 million provisionally allocated for 2019/20) for interventions including navigators, supported lettings and two Somewhere Safe to Stay hubs \u2013 one of which is a women-only shelter.<\/p>

This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4053", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mrs Heather Wheeler"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-02-07T17:42:46.837Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-02-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Sleeping Rough: Brighton"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his Department's Rough sleeping statistics autumn 2018, England, published on 31 January 2019, whether the statistics for the total number of people rough sleeping in Brighton and Hove in autumn (a) 2017 and (b) 2018 were collected using the same methodology; what steps he took to check that the data supplied by local authorities for the purposes of comparison between those two years used comparable statistics; whether he is aware of the letter dated 8 January 2019 from Conservative Councillors in Brighton and Hove to the Chair of the Brighton and Hove City Council Audit and Standards Committee on Misrepresentation of rough sleeping statistics; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3930", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Caroline Lucas"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Brighton, Pavilion"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Caroline Lucas"} ], "uin" : "215570"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1052214", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1052214/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
