Merseyside Police

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions individuals have been excluded from a specific area for up to 24 hours by Merseyside Police and Community Support since the inception of this power. [165920]

Ms Blears: Merseyside police tell me that they have dispersed more than 100 individuals and given them directions excluding them from three specific areas for up to 24 hours since these powers came into force.

NASS

Mr. Spring: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how much has been allocated to the National Asylum Support Service in each financial year since its inception. [163628]

Mr. Browne [holding answer 29 March 2004]: The National Asylum Support Service was established as a   separate directorate within the Immigration and Nationality Directorate in 2000–01.

Total Resource Expenditure incurred by the National Asylum Support Service is listed in the table.
£ million

	Administration cost	Asylum support cost	Total cost
2000–01	36	747	783
2001–02	36	1,046	1,082
2002–03	54	1,070	1,124

National Offender Management Service

John McDonnell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he will publish an organogram for the structures of the National Probation Directorate, HM Prison Service and the National Offender Management Service; and what its likely effects will be on personnel and staffing. [168184]

Paul Goggins: The Government will make available details of the structure and organisation of the National Offender Management Service when this is finalised. It is hoped that the proposed structure will be completed soon and can be discussed with trade unions and other key stakeholders.

Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act

Ms Buck: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will commission an independent review of the implementation of section 55 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. [162633]

Mr. Browne: The Government do not consider that an independent review of the working of section 55 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 is necessary or desirable.

The operation and impact of section 55 has been closely monitored since implementation on 8 January 2003, and initial problems are being resolved. From 17 December 2003, asylum applicants who can give a credible account that their asylum claim was made within three days of arrival would normally be accepted

as having applied as soon as reasonably practicable. This has resulted in a greater proportion of applications being granted under section 55.

These section 55 arrangements provide a balanced but firm policy that discourages economic migration, while continuing to offer refuge to those seeking asylum, and providing support to those who qualify or are vulnerable. The National Asylum Support Service (NASS) will continue to maintain an open dialogue on section 55 with the voluntary sector agencies, local government and other stakeholders.

Naturalisation

Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department when he intends to implement the report of the Advisory Group on Living in the UK about education for naturalisation applicants. [166122]

Mr. Browne: I refer my hon. Friend to the Written Ministerial Statement made by my right hon. and noble friend Baroness Scotland of Asthal on 2 February 2004, Official Report, column WS13, and to the related papers deposited in the Library, which set out the steps we are taking with regard to the recommendations of the report.

Mr. Austin Mitchell: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what discussions he has had with the Treasury about financing the proposals of the Advisory Group on Living in the UK for education of naturalisation applicants. [166126]

 
29 Apr 2004 : Column 1304W
 

Mr. Browne: Negotiations on the Home Office's Spending Review settlement must remain confidential.

Offender Management

Julie Morgan: To ask the Secretary of State for the   Home Department how the National Offender Management Service will contribute towards a reduction in the use of custody. [168391]

Paul Goggins: This will be achieved through more effective management of offenders under the National Offender Management Service as well as better targeting and co-ordination of custodial and community sentences.

Omar Bakri Mohammed

Mr. Dismore: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the immigration status of Omar Bakri Mohammed, with a view to removing his indefinite leave to remain. [166042]

Mr. Browne [holding answer 19 April 2004]: It is not our policy to make public details of a person's immigration status.
