answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>The Government has no plans to introduce such powers at the current time.</p><p>It is an offence for an occupier or person managing any premises to knowingly permit the production or attempted production and supply of a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. It is also an offence to prepare opium for smoking and to smoke cannabis, cannabis resin or prepared opium. The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced closure powers which allow the police and local councils to quickly close down premises which are causing nuisance or disorder. The 2014 Act also introduced the absolute ground for possession which makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants whose anti-social behaviour or criminality has been proven by another court.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 05/09/2017 08:08:10 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26 June, proposes that EU citizens who arrive in the UK before the specified date, have five years’ continuous residence and who do not breach the requirements in relation to criminality, public policy and public security, will be able to apply for UK settled status. The specified date is subject to negotiation, but will be no earlier than 29 March 2017 and not later than the date of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.</p><p>For those who arrive after the specified date, there will be no change to their rights while the UK remains in the EU. After exit, a grace period of blanket permission will apply to them, while they make an application to the Home Office for permission to stay in the UK in accordance with the new rules applying to EU citizens, which are yet to be determined. The ability of EU citizens arriving after the specified date to subsequently obtain further or indefinite permission to stay will depend on the rules in place at the time. Proposals for managing EU migration post-exit will be published as soon as possible, allowing businesses and individuals time to plan and prepare.</p><p>It is our intention that all EU citizens living lawfully in the UK before the specified date are covered by our proposals. It will not be necessary to be present in the UK on the specified date and – as is currently the case under the Free Movement Directive - there will be flexibility for temporary absences. This will be subject to negotiations and a reciprocal deal with the EU.</p><p>All EU citizens (and their families) in the UK, regardless of when they arrived, will, on the UK’s exit, need to obtain an immigration status in UK law. They will need to apply to the Home Office for permission to stay, which will be evidenced through a residence document.</p><p>Further details of the Government’s proposals are in the policy paper on ‘Safeguarding the position of EU citizens in the UK and UK nationals in the EU’, which is availableat the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safeguarding-the-position-of-eu-citizens-in-the-uk-and-uk-nationals-in-the-eu" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/safeguarding-the-position-of-eu-citizens-in-the-uk-and-uk-nationals-in-the-eu</a></p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis grouped question UIN 1103 1104 question first answered 30/06/2017 08:13:45 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
