uin	225603
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>As at 26 February 2019, the number of alleged instances of breaches or violations of International Humanitarian Law (IHL) in Yemen listed on the &quot;Tracker&quot; database maintained by the Ministry of Defence (MOD) is 410. Of these, 15 are duplicate entries, which means that some incidents will have been recorded on more than one occasion likely because of the incomplete nature of Non-Governmental Organisation and media reporting upon which the MOD relies to update the &quot;Tracker&quot;.</p><p>The MOD does not assess allegations of IHL violations. The Saudi-led Coalition is best placed to do this and does so through its Joint Incident Assessment Team.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 28/02/2019 15:28:39 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/02/2019 answer text <p>When former Locally Employed Staff (LES) are relocated to the UK, we provide funding for four months of support by the Local Authority through a contracted support provider. These support providers offer assistance to the former LES in areas such as familiarisation with their new location and setting up their new home; finding school or nursery places for children; access to English language lessons, including women only classes, and courses to assist the former LES in finding employment. After the four month point, care and support properly become the responsibility of the local government and healthcare providers.</p><p>We receive reports from Local Authorities on how successfully former LES have settled at the four month point. We cannot legitimately track former LES beyond this point. But, in the cases of severely disabled former LES, we have worked with Local Authorities, the care providers and a Service Charity (Help 4 Heroes) to facilitate additional charitable support.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 28/02/2019 15:24:42 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
