answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>There is no legal framework for the provision of drug consumption rooms in the UK and we have no plans to introduce them. For drug consumption rooms to operate it means allowing dealers to sell the most harmful drugs to users in our neighbourhoods. We are not prepared to sanction or condone activity that promotes the illcit drugs trade and the harms that illicit trade causes to individuals and communities.</p><p>A range of offences are likely to be committed in the operation of drug consumption rooms. It is for local police forces to enforce the law in such circumstances and, as with other offences of this type, we would expect them to do so</p><p>The UK's approach on drugs remains clear - we must prevent drug use in our communities and support people dependent on drugs through treatment and recovery.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 07/03/2019 18:22:17 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>Guidance on when and how Immigration Enforcement officers may arrest suspected illegal migrants can be found at:<a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/537682/Arrest-and-restraint-v1.pdf" target="_blank"> https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/537682/Arrest-and-restraint-v1.pdf</a></p><p>All immigration enforcement visits and operations which may involve arrest, require authorisation. Operations in public places are subject to a higher level of authorisation than other types of enforcement visit or operation and require the completion of a comprehensive risk and intelligence assessment. The nature of immigration enforcement activity means that there may be unplanned encounters as part of a planned operation. In such situations, officers will undertake a dynamic risk assessment and any action will be taken within the parameters of the guidance and the powers available to the officer.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 20/11/2018 17:02:42 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>It is a matter for individual employers as to whether they wish to pay the EU Settlement Scheme fee on behalf of an employee.</p><p>In terms of employers choosing to reimburse their staff for the cost of applying to the settlement scheme, taxation rules are not a matter for the Home Office. However, HMRC has advised that in situations like these, where an employer pays or reimburses their employees’ application costs, such a payment would be taxable as earnings from their employment and may also attract a National Insurance contributions (NICs) charge. However, employers can also choose to meet the cost of this tax and NICs charge for their employees. For many employers this can be managed within their existing arrangements with HMRC, using a PAYE Settlement Agreement (PSA) which allows employers to make one annual payment to cover all the tax and NICs due on minor, irregular or impracticable expenses or benefits for their staff.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 21/12/2018 17:39:33 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
