​My department, in close coordination with other government departments, continues to engage intensively with EU Member States to support British Nationals living in and travelling to the EU. The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has significantly increased the capacity of our Europe network; our Embassies and Consulates are in close and regular contact with their host governments. The UK will seek to agree reciprocal mobility arrangements with the EU. The detail of how these provisions will apply under the future relationship will be for future negotiations with the EU.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they are providing to projects aimed at tackling unemployment and migration in the Western Balkans.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what support they are providing to projects aimed at tackling unemployment and migration in the Western Balkans.
​The Foreign & Commonwealth Office commissioned a Joint Analysis of Conflict and Stability (JACS) in 2017 (refreshed in 2019) for the Western Balkans. A JACS is a strategic assessment used to strengthen cross-government approaches to tackling conflict and instability overseas. The analysis covered youth unemployment as well as migration and "brain-drain". In addition, the Foreign & Commonwealth Office has commissioned analysis on 'The Cost of Youth Emigration from Serbia' and analysis by the British Council for the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF).
Through the CSSF, the Government funds the following projects to help tackle unemployment in the Western Balkans:
21st Century Schools; which will provide training to children in over 4,500 schools, to improve digital literacy and core skills across the Western Balkans.;
a project supporting employment and social services for vulnerable youths in Albania; and
in North Macedonia working jointly with the National Youth Council and IT Chamber of Commerce to support digital skills training to young people in return for community work.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have (1) commissioned, or (2) supported, any analysis of migration and the brain drain of skilled young people in (a) Kosovo, (b) Albania, (c) Bosnia-Herzegovina, and (d) any other states of the Western Balkans.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to continue funding the Family Restoration Fund for former child migrants following the end of the current scheme.
On current plans, the Family Restoration Fund for former British child migrants will continue until April 2020. In the nine years that it has been in place, the Fund has helped nearly 700 former British child migrants to make over 1,200 trips to be reunited with their loved ones. Future funding will be considered as part of the forthcoming spending review.
The Child Migrants Trust, who manage the Family Restoration Fund on behalf of the Government, provide monthly data to the Department. Data provided up to the end of March 2019 does not suggest that patterns of demand have changed significantly as compared to the previous year.

I am very happy to tell my fellow Cambridgeshire MP how I reassure the academics of Cambridge on this issue. If we look at just how many European Union universities are in the top 50 compared with the number of British universities in the top 50, we see that the determination of their success is not based on their membership of the European Union.

In Cambridge, it is local elections season. When I knocked on my first door on Sunday, I interrupted someone who modestly described himself as a mid-career academic. He was filling in a job application to move to Switzerland and told me that a number of colleagues in his department were doing the same, the reason being that his department faces losing 20% of its funding from the European Research Council. These are senior scientists who have heard what the Government have to say but have concluded that their future lies elsewhere. How can the Secretary of State reassure the 48% who feel that their future has been put at risk?

I would normally start by saying that it is a pleasure to engage in the debate, but to be honest this has not been the most comfortable of subjects on which to speak on behalf of the Government. As we have heard, this was a shameful episode in our history,...

The wider communication of the policy is important precisely because of that group of people who have passed away. I imagine that their relatives would be much less likely to look at the Child Migrants Trust website and much more likely to look at gov.uk or the Department of Health...

I will take that point away. Part of me thinks that it will be appropriate to do that once we have all the details written down; none the less, I will reflect on what the hon. Lady says, because she is right. The very act of making the payments is...

That is a fair challenge. With the caveat that any figure would not be adequate to compensate for harm, some methodology about why that figure was arrived at would be helpful.
The issue of eligibility has been raised on a number of occasions. The only condition that needs to be met...
