Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what representations his Department received before 2018 on the eligibility for UK passports of Caribbean-born UK residents.
Answered by Caroline Nokes
It has always been open to Caribbean-born UK residents to apply for documentation confirming their right to reside here, and for a British passport once they became naturalised as British Citizens. The vast majority of the Windrush generation already held documentation confirming their status here, but those who have not are those the Windrush Taskforce are helping now.

Asked by: Toby Perkins (Labour - Chesterfield)
Question to the Home Office:
What assessment she has made of the level of crime and the effectiveness of crime reporting by police forces.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The independent Office for National Statistics is clear that overall crime has fallen, with ‘traditional’ crime down by almost 40 per cent since June 2010 according to the Crime Survey for England and Wales.
HMICFRS continue to inspect forces’ accuracy in crime recording and where recommendations are made for improvement we expect action to be taken locally by chief officers.
