The Government has no plans to introduce such powers at the current time.<\/p>

It is an offence for an occupier or person managing any premises to knowingly permit the production or attempted production and supply of a controlled drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. It is also an offence to prepare opium for smoking and to smoke cannabis, cannabis resin or prepared opium. The Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced closure powers which allow the police and local councils to quickly close down premises which are causing nuisance or disorder. The 2014 Act also introduced the absolute ground for possession which makes it easier for landlords to evict tenants whose anti-social behaviour or criminality has been proven by another court.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4071", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sarah Newton"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Truro and Falmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Sarah Newton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-05T08:08:10.96Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Drugs: Misuse"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make it a criminal offence for a landlord to fail to stop or remove a tenant found to be using illegal drugs in their property and then to take no action following the police notifying them that such is the case.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "6439"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/754990", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/754990/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Fire and Rescue Authorities have delivered significant savings since 2010.<\/p>

<\/p>

Fire incidents in Merseyside are down by a third since 2010. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority will receive a broadly flat settlement, with core spending power reducing by one percent in cash terms over this spending review period. Merseyside held £28.2 million of non-ringfenced reserves at March 2016, up by £10.4 million since 2010/11.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government provides funding and equipment for national resilience capabilities which gives the fire and rescue sector the resources necessary to respond to specific types of large scale incidents. In 2017/18 Merseyside received £0.8 million to support the capabilities they host.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1561", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Nick Hurd"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-08-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "1859"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-08-04T12:54:47.2Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-06-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential effect of changes to the level of revenue support grant received by Merseyside Fire and Rescue Authority on its ability to respond effectively to large-scale disasters.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Maria Eagle"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Garston and Halewood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Maria Eagle"} ], "uin" : "1860"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/732492", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/732492/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government\u2019s policy paper (Cm 9464), which was laid before Parliament on 26 June, proposes that EU citizens who arrive in the UK before the specified date, have five years\u2019 continuous residence and who do not breach the requirements in relation to criminality, public policy and public security, will be able to apply for UK settled status. The specified date is subject to negotiation, but will be no earlier than 29 March 2017 and not later than the date of the UK\u2019s withdrawal from the EU.<\/p>

For those who arrive after the specified date, there will be no change to their rights while the UK remains in the EU. After exit, a grace period of blanket permission will apply to them, while they make an application to the Home Office for permission to stay in the UK in accordance with the new rules applying to EU citizens, which are yet to be determined. The ability of EU citizens arriving after the specified date to subsequently obtain further or indefinite permission to stay will depend on the rules in place at the time. Proposals for managing EU migration post-exit will be published as soon as possible, allowing businesses and individuals time to plan and prepare.<\/p>

It is our intention that all EU citizens living lawfully in the UK before the specified date are covered by our proposals. It will not be necessary to be present in the UK on the specified date and \u2013 as is currently the case under the Free Movement Directive - there will be flexibility for temporary absences. This will be subject to negotiations and a reciprocal deal with the EU.<\/p>

All EU citizens (and their families) in the UK, regardless of when they arrived, will, on the UK\u2019s exit, need to obtain an immigration status in UK law. They will need to apply to the Home Office for permission to stay, which will be evidenced through a residence document.<\/p>
