	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>There is a wide range of options as to how EU migration might work we leave the EU. We are considering these options very carefully and we will take decisions based on evidence. As part of this, on 27 July, the Government commissioned the Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) to gather evidence on patterns of EU migration and the role of migration in the wider economy, ahead of our exit from the EU. We have asked the MAC to report by September 2018 and flagged that interim reports throughout the period would be helpful as we develop future immigration arrangements that work for the whole of the UK.</p><p><br>Immigration remains a reserved matter and we will consider the needs of the UK as a whole. Applying different immigration rules to different parts of the UK would complicate the immigration system, harming its integrity, and cause difficulties for employers who need the flexibility to deploy their staff to other parts of the UK.</p><p><br>The Government will be setting out initial proposals for our future immigration arrangements shortly.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 21/12/2017 16:57:08 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The Home Office is in the process of disaggregating its major IT contracts, and its work in this area provided a major contribution to the Government Commercial Function paper cited. Through disaggregation, we will be able to break up large, costly and cumbersome contracts and move to a more dynamic environment in which we procure standardised service components from the market while focusing on building strategic internal capabilities, such as around strategy, and architecture, and system design and integration. This will allow us to better manage our risk and control costs, also allows us to better use the pre-existing commercial frameworks and hence shorten our time to market and subsequent mobilisation, and allows us to more easily access the SME market.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 21/12/2017 16:21:31 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
