answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Statement of Intent on the EU Settlement Scheme published on 21 June 2018 made clear that the UK has decided, as a matter of domestic policy, to be more generous than the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union in certain respects. In particular, those applying under the scheme will not generally be required to show that they are exercising their rights under the Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC). This means that an applicant will not be refused status under the scheme because for example they are not economically active, their employment is not full-time or they do not hold comprehensive sickness insurance.</p><p>However, the draft Withdrawal Agreement does not protect those who are not exercising or are misusing free movement rights. This means that, while free movement rules continue to operate to the end of the planned implementation period, there will remain scope, as a matter of law, for a person to be removed from the UK on those grounds. It is logical that this is reflected in the Immigration Rules for the EU Settlement Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 22/11/2018 14:14:32 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Immigration Act 1971 provides that a person granted leave to land under earlier (repealed) legislation is treated for the purposes of the 1971 Act as having been granted leave to enter.</p><p>Resident EU citizens and their family members with limited or indefinite leave to enter the UK will not need to apply for pre-settled or settled status under the EU Settlement Scheme once the UK has left the EU. They will be able to do so if they wish and there will be no application fee for settled status where an applicant has valid indefinite leave to enter.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 22/11/2018 14:16:13 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

This includes working closely with the EU and other international partners to push industry to take a more proactive approach to detecting and removing terrorist content from their platforms, including by legislative means.</p><p>On 12 September, the European Commission announced a regulation to tackle terrorist content online. The UK has worked with the Commission and other Member States to ensure the proposed Regulation is ambitious and has meaningful impact on the problem.</p><p>If agreed, the Regulation would have direct effect in domestic law and as such, we do not consider that any changes to domestic law would be necessary. This would be dependent on the outcome of EU Exit negotiations.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 21/12/2018 17:35:22 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

uin	192933
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/11/2018 answer text <p>The Home Office has been engaging with international partners on their policies and practices in relation to time limits in detention. The review remains ongoing and once complete, we will consider the next steps.</p><p>For immigration detention to be lawful, there must be a realistic prospect of removal from the UK in a reasonable timescale. What is considered reasonable is fact-specific and will vary from case to case. It may be longer in cases involving foreign national offenders than in non-criminal cases, given the need to protect the public from harm by those whom we are seeking to deport. In all cases, detention is kept under regular review to ensure that it remains both necessary and appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes grouped question UIN 192934 question first answered 22/11/2018 14:18:01 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
