answer text <p>Following the 2010 public consultation on options for the management of the wreck site of HMS Victory 1744 it was decided to place responsibility for the future management of the site on a charitable trust. The Maritime Heritage Foundation (MHF) was a newly formed charity and its objectives ‘to recover, preserve and display in public museums, to promote knowledge and understanding of our maritime heritage through educational projects' were considered to be well suited for the management of the wreck site. No additional checks were made because the MHF is a registered charity under the auspices of the Charity Commission and subject to its rules and regulations.</p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>The Coalition Government has made the tackling of violence against women and <br>girls a high priority. Our approach is set out in our strategy, ‘Call to End Violence <br>Against Women and Girls' published in November 2010, together with a supporting <br>Action Plan. A revised version of the Action Plan was published in March 2014 <br>and contains 150 actions across Government departments.<br><br>For the first time, this Government has put stable funding in place, ring-fencing nearly<br>£40 million for specialist local domestic and sexual violence support services, rape<br>crisis centres, and national helplines. This includes £20,000 funding provided <br>by the Home Office for the provision of an Independent Domestic Violence Adviser at Peterborough City Council, and £10,000 to the Cambridgeshire Sexual Assault Referral Centre, and £30,000 per financial year 2011-2014, increased to<br>£45,000 for 2014/2015 and 2015/2016, provided by the Ministry of Justice to <br>Peterborough Rape Crisis. <br><br>This Government is committed to driving improvements in the police response to <br>victims of domestic violence. That is why, last September, the Home Secretary <br>commissioned Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to conduct an <br>all force review of domestic violence. HMIC published its findings on 27 March <br>2014 and highlighted serious failings in the police response. In response to <br>the review, the Home Secretary is leading a series of measures to improve the <br>police response. This includes establishing a new National Oversight Group, <br>which she chairs and on which I sit.

answer text <p> </p><p>On 23 May we published a second consultation on the draft regulations to implement the Firefighters' Pension Scheme 2015. Under the scheme design a firefighter who earns £29,000 and retires after a full career aged 60 will get a £19,000 a year pension. The Department will carry out further consultations during 2014 on the governance and transitional arrangements for the firefighter pension reforms. I do not intend to consult again on the draft regulations on which I am currently consulting. The Fire Brigades Union should engage in the current formal consultation process rather than pursuing unnecessary industrial action. The consultation can be found at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-the-regulations-to-introduce-a-new-firefighters-pension-scheme-from-april-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/consultation-on-the-regulations-to-introduce-a-new-firefighters-pension-scheme-from-april-2015</a> and copies have been placed in the Library of the House.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>UK Youth and Scottish Youth Parliament, who both received a share of the £4.2 million funding for maximising registration, are developing and testing approaches to promote engagement of young people with the democratic process. The Government has made available for free the Rock Enrol! learning resource, and is working with the Higher Education sector to promote on-line registration during course enrolment for students. Over the summer the Electoral Commission will be running a nationwide media campaign which will make prominent reference to the new online registration page.</p><p>The Government has no plans to legislate to require Electoral Registration Officers and Returning Officers to incentivise electoral registration and voting, such as with discounted council tax or prize draws.</p><p> </p> more like this
