tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Durham
uin	HL17455
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2019 answer text <p>There are no official figures for the number of cases subject to no recourse to public funds restrictions. Families including children may be subject to such restrictions as a consequence of their immigration status where they have been granted temporary leave to remain, or where they require leave but do not have it. The expectation is that the majority of people granted time-limited leave under the Immigration Rules, including those entering as visitors, workers, students and those on the path to settlement, will support themselves without placing pressures on taxpayers.</p><p>Families granted time-limited leave in the family and private life route can request the Home Office to lift conditions restricting access to public funds to avoid destitution. The Home Office provides support to asylum seekers and works closely with local authorities operating duties to support those with community care needs, including families with children.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 07/08/2019 14:19:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
