answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>It is right that family migrants coming to settle in the UK and their sponsor should be able to support themselves and any dependants. The minimum income threshold under the family Immigration Rules for sponsoring a non-European <br>Economic Area national spouse or partner and any dependent children to come to or remain in the UK aims to prevent burdens on the taxpayer and promote integration. Its level reflects advice from the independent Migration Advisory <br>Committee on the income which means a family settled in the UK will generally cease to be able to access income-related benefits. Under the minimum probationary period of 5 years before a spouse or partner can apply for <br>settlement under the new family Rules implemented on 9 July 2012, applications for indefinite leave to remain in the UK which have to meet the minimum income threshold will not be made before 2017. In its 11 July 2014 judgment in MM and Others the Court of Appeal upheld the lawfulness of the minimum income threshold and found that it strikes a fair balance between the interests of those affected and the community in general.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 15/12/2014 11:59:01 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>This Government inherited over 223,000 records - dating from before December 2008 - with very poor data quality, and no structured plan. Alongside wider work to restore control to our immigration system, particularly through abolishing the UK Border Agency, the Government initiated a programme to bring sense to this stock of old records. Having identified and taken out records relating to those people known to have left the country, as well as duplicate and erroneous records, the number of meaningful pre-2008 records is just over 89,000. Those are now being addressed in the proper way.</p><p /> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 11/12/2014 17:10:02 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
