The Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) has a statutory right to make its own rules, under section 46 of the Solicitors Act 1974. We understand the SDT is still reviewing consultation responses, and no final decisions have been made. The SDT will no doubt consider the impact on users of legal services of any changes to its rules that it wishes to make.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 09/01/2019 10:40:08 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

These measures have resulted in an appreciation of the Riyal, and prices of staples are starting to decline which means that ordinary Yemenis are more able to buy food that is in the markets.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>However, much more remains to be done.

uin	204620
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) recognises that while aircraft bases bring significant benefits to their local area, the noise produced by aircraft can have an impact on local communities. There are no uninhabited areas of the UK large enough to accommodate military aviation needs, which makes some disruption unavoidable.</p><p>As with all MOD bases, RAF Benson takes its responsibilities to the public very seriously and seeks to mitigate and minimise the impact of noise on local residents as far as possible. Measures include that aircrew must assess the noise they are causing and reduce it so far as safe operation will allow; training is planned to be spread geographically as widely as possible to reduce recurrent disturbance to specific communities; and the MOD seeks to conduct training over less densely-populated areas, balancing the requirement to minimise noise with safe aircraft operation and training requirements.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 10/01/2019 15:13:51 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

However, as the responsibilities, structure and makeup of local authorities and the department have changed a great deal since 2009, central funding (department spend) to local government and wider spending power measures therefore are not directly comparable over this period.</p><p>Over the five-year period from 2015-2016 to 2019-2020, councils have access, through the local government settlement, to over £200 billion to deliver local services, including children’s services. This core spending power is not ring fenced and it is for local authorities to determine spend across different areas according to local priorities.</p><p>In addition to this, the Autumn Budget announced a further £410 million in 2019 to 2020 for local authorities to invest in adult and children’s social care services. It also announced £84 million of extra funding, over the next 5 years, to support local authorities to invest in initiatives that improve social work practice and decision making so that children can stay at home and with their family where it is in their best interest to do so.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Totals include resource and capital departmental expenditure limits.</p><p> </p><p>[2] Sources:</p><p> </p><ul><li><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/203826/Spending_review_2010.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/203826/Spending_review_2010.pdf</a>.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p><ul><li><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015-documents/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015-documents/spending-review-and-autumn-statement-2015</a>.</li></ul><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/01/2019 17:49:04 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
