answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2015 answer text <p>The Government has set out its plan for responding to human trafficking in the Modern Slavery Strategy. The Inter-Departmental Ministerial Group (IDMG) on Modern Slavery oversees implementation of the strategy, supported by a quarterly Strategy Board, a monthly stakeholder meeting, and a Modern Slavery Threat Group that is chaired by Chief Constable Shaun Sawyer, the National Policing Lead for Modern Slavery. The IDMG’s 2015 report will be published shortly and will provide a detailed assessment of the scale and nature of the threat, what the Government has done to respond and our priorities for future work. In addition, the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner will each year publish a report on his work and on progress being made on tackling modern slavery. As part of our wider strategy, the Government is committed to strengthening the way in which we identify and refer potential victims of trafficking into the National Referral Mechanism. As part of this, the Home Office is piloting reforms to the National Referral Mechanism in West Yorkshire and the South West.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 21/10/2015 15:53:25 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

uin	10911
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2015 answer text <p>Individuals who have been identified as victims of trafficking by the competent authorities are normally considered suitable for detention in only very exceptional circumstances, which include cases where there is a risk of public harm. This data is not collected centrally and accurate figures are not available. Once a person is detained their continued detention remains under review by the Home Office at least at monthly intervals, and earlier in response to any change of circumstances that might have a material effect on their detention.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 14/10/2015 16:38:28 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2015 answer text <p>The longest time a person has been detained in the immigration estate - a foreign criminal who who left detention and was returned to Algeria in Q1 2012 - was 2,319 days.</p><p>The individual in this case had accumulated 14 convictions from 32 offences committed between 1998 and 2004, including - but not limited to - convictions for firearms/ shotguns/offensive weapons, drug offences, offences relating to police/courts/prisons and theft. He was continuously non-compliant with the Home Office and Algerian authorities, using a false identity and nationality, which frustrated attempts to obtain travel documentation to facilitate his deportation. His continued non-compliance, deception and a history of absconding led to detention being prolonged.</p><p>This information does not include those held in prisons solely under Immigration Act powers.</p><p>The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of people detained in the United Kingdom for immigration purposes, within the Immigration Statistics release on the GOV.UK website: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/home-office/series/immigration-statistics-quarterly-release</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 22/10/2015 16:19:39 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	10914
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2015 answer text <p>It is not possible to detain someone indefinitely under immigration powers. In order to detain an individual pending removal there must be a reasonable prospect of removal in a reasonable timeframe.</p><p>Each case is determined on its own merits. The introduction of an arbitrary time limit could lead to the release of foreign criminals and illegal immigrants even when their removal is imminent.</p><p>We always detain people for the least time necessary. Published statistics show that, in the year to June 2015, over 90 per cent of individuals leaving detention had been detained for four months or less.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 19/10/2015 16:13:59 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
