question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of (1) the rate of return available from short-term lets, and (2) current advertising encouraging short-term lets on the basis of increased returns of 30 per cent, on the availability of long-term residential accommodation in England.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government has not made an assessment of the impact of the rate of return for short term lets nor the impact of the current advertising campaign on the availability of long term accommodation in England. We believe that it is for local authorities to assess the impact within their area. The Government does however monitor broader trends in private rented housing through the English Housing Survey.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 03/04/2018 14:20:39 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, at the latest date, how many immigration detainees were being held in HM prisons; how many foreign national offenders, whose sentences had already expired but who had not been deported were being held; and what assessment they have made of the impact of such persons on the rehabilitation of British prisoners.

uin	HL6579
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p>For the week commencing 31 March, there were 720 immigration detainees in prisons.<br><br>Please note that the data includes a small number of individuals who have never served a custodial sentence, but who present specific risk factors that indicate they pose a serious risk of harm to the public or to the good order of an Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) including the safety of staff and other detainees, which cannot be managed within the regime applied in IRCs.<br><br>To extract this small number of cases would incur a disproportionate cost.<br><br>Foreign national offenders held in prisons beyond the end of their sentence under immigration powers are normally held in unconvicted conditions. Their presence in these prisons does not affect the rehabilitation of British nationals whose access to accredited interventions and other rehabilitation services is governed by risk of offending and offender-related need.</p><p /> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 17/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
