The previous residence assessment will not be re-done.</p><p>The new system will be streamlined, user-friendly and will draw on existing Government data to minimise the burden on applicants to provide documentary evidence. Further, more detailed evidential requirements are being developed and will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 08/03/2018 12:40:26 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
