We have succeeded in limiting the extent of our general increases, by taking a more targeted approach to fees adjustment which is consistent with both the UK Border Agency's strategic charging principles, and also with broader Government objectives. We have made several amendments to the UK settlement fees and we have proposed a nominal 10 per cent. fee for all applications for UK-based dependants to reflect the fact that each individual brings a processing cost to us. Full details of all fees changes are outlined in the explanatory memorandum accompanying these regulations.
Finally we will continue to generate revenue to fund the transitional impacts of migration. The migration impacts fund has played a vital role in helping ease the pressures on certain communities.

I am publishing today the fees for immigration and nationality services that are set at levels above the normal administrative costs of the service alongside these regulations. I will announce our proposals for the fees for immigration and nationality fees that are set below the administrative costs of the service when we lay negative regulations in February 2010.
Full details on how to apply for all of these services will be provided on our website, www.ukba.homeoffice. gov.uk.
A table of fees for 2010-11 for immigration and nationality services that are set at levels above the normal administrative costs of the service is set out below:
