answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>We have not made such a specific assessment. However, in February the Chief Medical Officers published their independent systematic map of evidence on screen and social media use in children and young people, and recommended next steps and advice for parents and carers. They concluded that the published scientific research is currently insufficient to support evidence-based guidelines on screen time, but there is enough basis to warrant a precautionary approach and action by schools, government and technology companies.</p><p> </p><p>For children and young people, we know that there can be a link between very high levels of social media use and poorer mental health. Data from the Understanding Society survey indicates that children who spent more than three hours using social networking websites on a school day were twice as likely to report high or very high scores for mental ill-health than those who spent less than three hours on social media. However, it is unclear whether increased use causes poorer mental health or whether poorer mental health increases social media use.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Mid Bedfordshire answering member printed Ms Nadine Dorries grouped question UIN 294116 question first answered 08/10/2019 14:48:09 answering member 1481 label Biography information for Ms Nadine Dorries

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/10/2019 answer text <p>Protecting the rights of both British Nationals in the EU and EU citizens in the United Kingdom is an absolute priority for this government. Should we leave the EU with a deal, Member States must implement a system for British Nationals to secure their residency rights. This could be a constitutive system like the EU Settlement Scheme, or a declaratory system. Existing rules and regulations relating to Citizens’ Rights will continue to apply until the end of the Implementation Period.</p><p>In the event of No Deal, all Member States have now enacted or drafted legislation to protect British Nationals' rights, including residency rights. However, the processes, timeframes and criteria for registering and applying for residency vary significantly by Member State. We are engaging intensively with Member States, asking them to reciprocate fully the United Kingdom's guarantee to EU citizens. We are also urging Member States to ensure robust implementation and effective communication of their plans. We encourage British Nationals living in the wider EU to subscribe to their relevant Living in Guide on gov.uk for up-to-date information on the steps they need to take to get ready for Brexit.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 07/10/2019 15:14:14 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
