answer text <p>The Home Office does not produce guidance on single crewing. Decisions on patrol policy are for Chief Constables, working with directly accountable Police and Crime Commissioners who set the strategic direction for the force through their local police and crime plan. Chief constables keep their patrol policies under regular review and decide how best to respond to their local circumstances.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government’s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26 June, sets out that obtaining settled status will be subject to meeting certain requirements. The eligibility criteria will be set out in UK law, and will include a requirement for the applicant to have been resident in the UK for a set length of time and an assessment of conduct and criminality, including not being considered a threat to the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We will continue to apply rules to exclude those who are serious or persistent criminals and those whom we consider a threat to the UK. Those who are refused settled status, unless they are covered by any of the exemptions that the Government puts in place or have another basis to remain in the UK, will no longer have permission to remain in the UK after we leave the EU.</p> more like this

answer text <p>International students are included in net migration statistics that are produced by the independent Office for National Statistics (ONS). In line with the internationally agreed UN definition, these statistics define a migrant as someone changing their normal place of residence for more than a year. Students are therefore included in the same way as other migrants. Other countries, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia also include students in their net migration figures. Like other migrants, students who stay for longer than 12 months have an impact on communities, infrastructure and services while they are here, so it is right that they are included in the net migration count.</p><p> </p><p>There is no limit to the number of genuine international students who can come to study in the United Kingdom and there are no plans to change this.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government recognises that sexual violence affects women from all communities across the UK. These are devastating crimes, and we are committed to ensuring that every victim has access to the specialist support they need, and that everything is done to bring offenders to justice. We want every report of rape to be treated seriously from the point of disclosure, every victim to be treated with dignity and every investigation and prosecution to be conducted thoroughly and professionally.</p><p> </p><p>Our cross-Government violence against women and girls (VAWG) strategy recognises that some sectors of society, such as Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities, can experience additional barriers to accessing support.</p><p> </p><p>We have pledged increased funding of £100 million through to 2020 to support our commitment to tackling VAWG, including protecting funding to 85 Rape Support Centres and a new £17m VAWG Service Transformation Fund.</p><p> </p><p>This increased funding and our support for local areas to improve commissioning will help to ensure that the needs of BAME victims are met through specialist support.</p>

answer text <p>The UK will remain an open and tolerant country; one that recognises the valuable contribution migrants make to our society and welcomes those with the skills and expertise to make our nation better. We will control immigration so that our system serves the national interest.</p><p> </p><p>As we conduct the negotiations to leave the European Union, it must be a priority to regain more control of the numbers of people who come here from Europe. We are considering the options for our future immigration system very carefully. We will build a comprehensive picture of the needs and interests of all parts of the UK and look to develop a system which works for all.</p><p> </p><p>The Government will not solely rely on the Brexit negotiation to deliver the net migration target. We have introduced a wide range of measures in the Immigration Acts 2014 and 2016 to remove the ability of illegal immigrants to remain in the UK in defiance of our immigration laws. We have also clamped down on abuse of student migration – closing over 900 bogus colleges. We have closed Tier 1 routes which allowed non-EEA migrants to come to the UK to look for work, and reformed the employer-led Tier 2 route following expert advice from the independent Migration Advisory Committee. Through the introduction of the Immigration Skills Charge, we are encouraging employers to invest in training and up-skilling the resident workforce.</p>
