uin	246980
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>Only Courts have the power to vary a curfew that has been imposed as part of a community order.</p><p> </p><p>Curfew is one of the range of community requirements which can be imposed as part of a community order, so the offender is required to be in a particular place at certain times. If the court makes a community order that includes a curfew requirement, it must also impose an electronic monitoring requirement (unless there are particular reasons for not doing so), the purpose of which is to promote and monitor compliance. A curfew can be imposed for a daily maximum of 16 hours per day and for the maximum requirement duration of 12 months.</p><p> </p><p>The National Probation Service can commence enforcement proceedings for alleged violations of a curfew. If enforcement proceedings are commenced and the court finds that the offender has breached their curfew, one of the sanctions the court can apply is to make the order more onerous which could include varying the curfew by extending the daily curfew hours or the overall length of the curfew requirement.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 01/05/2019 18:55:57 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

uin	246471
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>In England and Wales, transposition of the EU Victims’ Directive was evidenced through pre-existing legislation and through the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime (the Victims’ Code), which is issued by the Secretary of State for Justice under section 32 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. The legislation and Victims’ Code exist independently of EU law and as such leaving the EU will not affect the services provided to victims.</p><p> </p><p>We committed in the Victims Strategy, published in September 2018, to amend the Victims’ Code to address its complexity, accessibility and update the entitlements so that they are more reflective of victims’ needs. We intend to consult on these changes shortly.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 01/05/2019 16:40:55 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
