uin	HL997
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2016 answer text <p>Not all letting agents charge fees for right to rent checks and when right to rent was rolled out in the West Midlands, it was found that the majority of letting agents were not charging a fee for conducting the right to rent immigration checks. Letting agents are required to be fully transparent about their fees and publicise a complete tariff of fees in their offices and on their website. The Government believes that full transparency gives consumers the information they need. We intend to carry out a review later this year into how well this approach is working.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 13/07/2016 15:42:31 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>The Home Office guidance makes clear that landlords are expected to carry out checks on all adults.</p><p>This approach helps landlords to avoid acting in a discriminatory manner and to establish a statutory excuse against a penalty should they be found letting to an illegal migrant. In many cases, landlords and agents will already be asking for the same documents for credit and tenant referencing purposes.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 14/07/2016 13:05:06 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Roberts of Llandudno
uin	HL928
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2016 answer text <p>The UK strongly welcomes the plan agreed between the EU and Turkey to end irregular migration from Turkey to the EU. For the first time, we have a plan that breaks the business model of the people smugglers by cutting the link between getting in a boat and getting settlement in Europe. The numbers of migrants arriving on Greek islands has significantly reduced since this deal came into effect and it is making a genuine difference to managing the flows of migration; preventing people from dying in attempting the crossing or putting themselves in the hands of smugglers.</p><p>The UK takes the view that Turkey offers sufficient protection, in its law and its practice, to return people there. Turkey is already hosting over 2.7 million Syrian refugees and has granted them access to healthcare, education and the labour market. We are also pleased to note that, since the 18 March EU-Turkey migration deal, Turkey has reached agreements with the European Commission and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees in providing them with access to the Düziçi Camp and Kirklareli Removal Centre. The UK continues to work with Turkey to deliver further improvements to their immigration and asylum services.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 14/07/2016 14:38:39 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
