answer text <p>The Home Office aims to move asylum seekers from Initial Accommodation to Dispersed Accommodation within 19 days. However, some asylum seekers stay in Initial Accommodation for shorter or longer periods depending on their individual needs The Home Office closely monitors the length of stay in Initial Accommodation, however historic statistics on the proportion of people who have remained in initial accommodation for longer periods could only be provided at disproportionate cost by examination of individual records.</p> more like this

answer text <p>I wrote to the Northern Ireland political parties and to the Electoral Commission in January seeking their views on moving to full transparency and the date from which transparency should take effect. While all parties that responded expressed broad support for the future publication of donations and loans, only one party expressed support for backdating publication to 1 January 2014. All responses are available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/brokenshire-provides-further-details-of-political-donations-policy-to-mps" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/brokenshire-provides-further-details-of-political-donations-policy-to-mps</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Having considered the representations of the parties, I did not believe it right or fair to impose retrospective regulations on those who donated in accordance with the rules set out in law at the time. The secondary legislation to give effect to full transparency which I propose will therefore apply to donations and loans received on or after 1 July 2017.</p><p> </p>
