It is government practice to review asylum support rates annually. There are no plans to re-establish the link between support rates and mainstream benefits that was broken by the last Government. However a number of factors, including mainstream benefit changes, are considered when asylum support rates are reviewed. The review of support rates for the year 2012-13 is currently ongoing.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will revise the UK Border Agency’s Enforcement Instructions and Guidance to ensure that decisions to initiate and maintain detention include an assessment of the likelihood of deportation being carried out within a period of detention that is lawful and reasonable.[HL631]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will revise the UK Border Agency’s Enforcement Instructions and Guidance to ensure that decisions to initiate and maintain detention include an assessment of the likelihood of deportation being carried out within a period of detention that is lawful and reasonable.[HL631]
Chapter 55 of the UK Border Agency’s Enforcement Instructions and Guidance already makes clear that detention may only continue for a period that is reasonable in all the circumstances for the specific purpose for which it was authorised. The guidance also makes clear that, if before the expiry of the reasonable period it becomes apparent that the purpose of the power, for example removal or deportation, cannot be effected within that reasonable period, the power to detain should not be exercised. Furthermore, the guidance confirms that detention can only lawfully be exercised where there is a realistic prospect of removal or deportation within a reasonable period.
In cases involving foreign national offenders, due to the need to protect the public, where the deportation criteria are met, the normal presumption in favour of temporary admission or temporary release, rather than detention, should be weighed against the risk of the individual reoffending or absconding. If detention is considered appropriate, this is subject to the proviso that there is the prospect of removal within a reasonable timescale.
