answer text <p>It is important that firearms officers are supported to make the difficult decisions necessary to protect the public, and are able to carry out their duties without fearing that a justified use of force will damage their careers. It is also essential that decisions by the police to use force of any kind are subject to proper scrutiny.</p><p>That was why the previous Home Secretary commissioned officials to review the legal and procedural framework governing police use of firearms and post-incident investigation. The review is ongoing.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government carried out a consultation on the future of civil partnerships in 2014. Views were invited on three options: abolishing civil partnerships; phasing them out; or extending them to opposite sex couples.</p><p>The review found that there was no clear consensus on the future of civil partnerships. A majority of respondents to the consultation were against extending civil partnerships to opposite sex couples and several significant stakeholders thought it was too soon to consider making changes to civil partnerships until the impact of extending marriage to same sex couples is known. Given the lack of any consensus, the government did not change the Civil Partnership Act 2004.</p><p>The decision not to change the law was judicially reviewed last year and the Government won in the High Court. The Court of Appeal dismissed an appeal against the High Court judgment this week and confirmed that the Government’s approach is lawful.</p><p>We welcome the Court’s ruling. Before we take any action on this issue, it is right that we evaluate the impact that same sex marriage has on the take-up of civil partnerships. We will also carefully consider this judgment and its implications before deciding on our next steps.</p>

answer text <p>Highways England reviewed a range of options for improving this section of the A303. The F010 option was assessed on the same basis as those for placing the A303 in a tunnel past Stonehenge using the Transport, Economic Growth, Cultural Heritage and Environment and Community objectives for the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst option F010 performed better than the tunnel options against the Cultural Heritage objective, it performed worse against the other objectives. In particular, it would have large adverse environmental impacts through the Woodford Valley and would not be effective in relieving rat-running traffic problems in the local communities. The assessments are fully explained in the published consultation material on Highways England’s website.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>Antidepressants are an important group of medicines which help patients who suffer depressive illness and anxiety disorders. As with all medicines, antidepressants may cause side effects in some individuals and information on side effects is included in the product information for prescribers (the Summary of Product Characteristics) and patients (the Patient Information Leaflet).</p><p> </p><p>The safety of the use of antidepressants in routine clinical practice, including in long term use, is continually monitored by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). The MHRA monitors all data including reports of suspected adverse drug reactions submitted by health professionals, patients and carers through the Yellow Card scheme as well as published and unpublished data. As new data emerges it is carefully evaluated and, where appropriate, product information for prescribers and patients is updated and advice issued. There have been no recent changes to product information in relation to the long term safety of antidepressants.</p>
