answer text As and when matters are brought to the attention of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) they are assessed in the context of the SFO's remit to investigate fraud, bribery and corruption. If appropriate, relevant matters will be considered for criminal investigation in line with SFO internal procedures. The SFO does not comment on its assessments or their status at any one time but does publish on its website details of those cases formally adopted for criminal investigation, when this is possible without prejudice to the investigation. more like this

answer text <p>We recognise that families may be separated because of the nature of conflict and persecution and the speed and manner in which those seeking asylum often flee their country of origin. Our refugee family reunion policy allows immediate family members of a person in the UK with refugee leave or humanitarian protection status - that is a spouse or partner and children under the age of 18, who formed part of the family unit before the sponsor fled their country of origin - to reunite with them in the UK.</p><p>The Syrian Vulnerable Persons Relocation (VPR) scheme was launched in January 2014 and is the first resettlement programme run by the UK to target support for refugees specifically on the basis of their vulnerability. On 7 September 2015, the Prime Minister announced a significant extension of the scheme, in recognition of the worsening crisis. We intend to resettle 20,000 refugees from Syria’s neighbouring countries over the lifetime of this Parliament.</p><p>The scheme is helping those in the greatest need who cannot be supported effectively in the region by giving them protection and support in the UK. The current criteria for acceptance under the scheme will be expanded to ensure more of those in the greatest need are resettled, together with their family members, in the UK. Where possible, the Government working with UNHCR, aims to resettle all close family members and dependents together.</p><p>Those resettled under the Syrian VPR scheme are eligible to act as sponsors under the family reunion provisions. This means that if their immediate family members are still abroad, and they meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules, they will be issued with a visa and the family will be able to reunite in the UK. Any family members who are already in the UK are also eligible to apply under the family reunion provisions.</p>

answer text <p>The Government remains committed to spending 0.7% of gross national income (GNI) on official development assistance (ODA). The planned resource DEL expenditure for the Department for International Development (DFID) has decreased between March and Summer Budget by approximately £1bn because every year at Main Estimates in July DFID transfers ODA funding to other government departments to help meet the government’s overall international development objectives. This is purely a timing issue. The decrease in DFID’s resource budget for 2015/16 is reflected as increases to other government department’s resource budgets. For example, over £700m of the £1bn transfer from DFID to other departments made at Main Estimates is to FCO for the Conflict, Security and Stabilisation Fund (CSSF). The total planned DEL spend in 2015/16 across Government on ODA did not change between March and Summer budgets. DFID publishes actual ODA spent by departments, of which the latest provisional figures are available for 2014.</p><p> </p>
