The below Parliamentary question was asked by Graham Allen on 2016-05-23.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons the role of chief superintendent for Nottingham at Nottinghamshire Police was removed on 1 May 2016; what consultation was carried out prior to that decision being made; and if she will make a statement.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Graham Allen on 2016-05-23.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the effect will be on the pension entitlement of the Deputy Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police of her promotion to acting Chief Constable.
Mike Penning
The Home Office does not hold information about the personal pension entitlement of any individual police officer.
Arrangements for the pensionable pay of chief officers on temporary promotion to a higher rank are set out in determinations made under the Police Regulations 2003. These state that after 28 days spent performing the duties of a chief constable, a deputy chief constable will be paid either a temporary salary (pensionable) at a rate equivalent to 90% of the higher rank’s basic pay or an honorarium (a non-pensionable payment) of an amount to be determined by the local policing body.
Pensionable pay is taken into account in calculating pension contributions and pension benefits, whereas any non-pensionable payments are not.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stuart C. McDonald on 2016-05-23.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will consider proposals put forward by the British Red Cross Torn Apart campaign to extend refugee family reunion to include young people over the age of 18 who were living with their parents when they were forced to flee.
James Brokenshire
There are no plans to extend the family reunion criteria. The current policy meets our international obligations and strikes the right balance.
Where family members cannot meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules, such as in the case of an 18 year old applying to join their refugee parents in the UK, we consider whether there are exceptional circumstances or compassionate reasons to justify granting entry clearance outside the Rules.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stuart C. McDonald on 2016-05-23.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people of each nationality detained for over (a) six and (b) 12 months between 2005 and 2015 for the purpose of removal were successfully removed.
James Brokenshire
The table attached shows the number of people removed on leaving detention, by nationality who were held for over six and over twelve months.
Published statistics relating to immigration detention are only available from 2010 onwards. It is not possible to provide pre-2010 figures and this information could be provided only by examining individual case records, which would result in disproportionate cost.
The Home Office publishes quarterly and annual statistics on the number of people detained in the United Kingdom for immigration purposes, within the Immigration Statistics release on the GOV.UK website:

The Home Office does not set a budget for food produced for its offices. Catering services are provided by private companies under contract at Home Office buildings and provided to staff without subsidy. Details of the proportion of food produced for the Home Office that was sourced from British producers could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
