The administration of Jobcentre Plus is a matter for the chief executive of Jobcentre Plus, Lesley Strathie. I have asked her to provide the hon. Member with the information requested.Letter from Lesley Strathie;"The Secretary of State has asked me to reply to your question asking what checks are made by Jobcentre Plus on the immigration status of applicants and claimants. This is something which falls within the responsibilities delegated to me as Chief Executive of Jobcentre Plus.""When a customer contacts Jobcentre Plus we ask them to provide their National Insurance Number. If a customer does not know their National Insurance Number or they do not have one, and we cannot match their personal details against an existing record the customer is asked to obtain a National Insurance Number for their benefit claim to proceed. The application process involves an Evidence of Identity interview where they are asked to prove their identity and are also asked questions about nationality, residence, and details of their journey to the UK.""Even if an applicant for benefit already has a National Insurance Number, they will be expected to provide confirmation of their identity as part of the claims process.""At the initial interview the Financial Assessor will establish the customer's identity and, if applicable, their partner's identity. If the Financial Assessor has any doubts, they will request evidence to be provided to verify the identity of the customer. They would not allow the claim to proceed, until they are satisfied of the customer's identity.""Anyone who has arrived in the UK in the two years prior to making a benefit claim must prove they have a right to reside in the UK, as well as being habitually resident, before any claim is processed or payment made.""I hope this explanation is helpful."

[holding answer 26 October 2006]: There is no requirement for European economic area (EEA) nationals to register with the authorities in order to exercise treaty rights allowing them to reside legally within the UK. As such, the Home Office does not have statistics to show how many nationals of European Union (EU) member states have settled in the UK.Statistics on the issue and refusal of residence documentation (excluding the Worker Registration Scheme) to EEA nationals and their family members are published annually in Command Papers entitled ““Control of Immigration: Statistics United Kingdom””. The 2005 publication is available from the Library of the House and via the Home Office website at http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/immigration1.html

The national health service funds and supports pre-registration nursing degree and diploma courses in the higher education sector. Access to nursing courses are usually run by further education colleges. These courses are not generally funded through the NHS. It is the further education colleges’ responsibility to determine whether a prospective student has the correct immigration status to enable them to apply for a course in line with Home Office requirements.

Information on the number unaccompanied minors detained is not held centrally and therefore unavailable.

My Lords, I cannot answer that question specifically, but I know, as will the noble Lord, that in developing these procedures we try ordinarily to collate as much information as possible from those who may have specialist knowledge. I therefore assume that that has been done, but I regret again that I am deficient and do know the answer. I shall certainly undertake to ensure that the noble Lord has a reply. I should say that, although I answer for the Government, I would have thought that this was perhaps more of a Home Office-type question.

My Lords, I can assure the noble Baroness that we are taking every step to ensure that we have a robust response. The first step is to screen those who are coming into this country and, if they are identified as carriers of tuberculosis, to deal with it before they come here. The second step is to ensure that those who come to this country are progressively screened so that we can identify the disease early and deal with it more robustly.

My Lords, the BCG vaccination has been causing concern. There is an issue about whether children should be given it at 12. The new procedure has meant that we are now looking more at the neonatal stage and giving the vaccination to children much earlier. We know that there is an anxiety about older children, but it is very much part of the Department of Health’s agenda to deal aggressively with this matter and ensure that people are reassured that the changes are safely being made.

Will she explain whether any facilities are now available for people from other countries to have information in their own language so that they know where to go for treatment as and when they suffer such a crisis?

My Lords, I do not have a specific answer, but the noble Lord will know that, in the general way in which we are now trying to give information, we are providing information in as many languages as possible so that those who may be affected by it are better able to understand it. All government departments have been carrying out that process with a great deal of energy for some time. I assure noble Lords that I know of nothing that indicates that we are not doing exactly the same in this regard. But if that is the case, I will certainly undertake to write to the noble Lord about that.
