	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2018 answer text <p>There was one prosecution under s175 (1)(a) and 2 of the Equalities Act in 2011/12. This creates offences in relation to access to public service vehicles. In accordance with CPS Retention Policy a case involving an offence under section 175 of the Equalities Act 2010 would be archived one year following sentencing. Therefore, no further information is held about the case in question.</p><p>Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010 defines the protected characteristics of ‘race’. Race includes colour, nationality and ethnic or national origins. Ethnic or national origins include being from a Roma or Traveler background, therefore the CPS prosecutes crimes against the Gypsy and Traveller communities under other legislation, in particular hate crimes against the community.</p><p>A programme of CPS mandated training for prosecutors, including racially aggravated crime, was developed and completed by the start of 2017.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 19/02/2018 09:33:31 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

	uin	126080
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2018 answer text <p>Electoral statistics published annually by the Office for National Statistics derive from the electoral registers held by Electoral Registration Officers (EROs). The Government does not otherwise collect official statistics on registration. EROs collect data solely for the purposes of registration. There are no gender requirements for registration and it is therefore not possible or appropriate for EROs to collect data on this. Some EROs may collect data on the number of applicants (including homeless people) to register using Declarations of Local Connection and some EROs may have data on care home registrations, but there are no requirements to collect such data.</p><p>The democratic engagement plan published in December 2017 sets out the Government’s commitment to undertake further research into the barriers that could be preventing individuals from these groups from applying to register to vote.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 26/03/2018 15:04:33 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2018 answer text <p>I would like to start by recognising the role your constituency and especially Wadebridge, have long played in delivering innovation and strong community focus on low carbon initiatives. This has been achieved with the support of funding from UK Government through Innovate UK and the Rural Community Energy Fund as well as over £78m Local Growth funding and over £115m through the European Regional Development Fund. Cornwall has also agreed a Devolution deal with Government which has a strong focus on energy and low carbon support.</p><p>These funding streams on the whole remain active and open until 2020 and are available for Low Carbon activity across the County of Cornwall. It remains for the most part the role of the Local Authority and the Local Enterprise Partnership to determine the priority projects and locations for their area.</p><p>In the Clean Growth Strategy we announced the launch of the Local Energy Programme, which has already made available funding for a local energy strategy for Cornwall to help plan future low carbon projects and additional funding for capacity support to help local areas deliver their priority low carbon projects at scale.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 07/02/2018 17:03:22 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

Over the scheme lifetime, we expect payments to be around £23bn.</p><p> </p><p>As at the end of December 2017, 1985 domestic and 370 non-domestic installations have been accredited within Cornwall. The Department does not hold data specifically for North Cornwall.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond the RHI, our ambition is to help homes off the gas grid to start to move to cleaner heating options during the 2020s. We will work with consumers as we develop policy, starting with new build, and will consult further on policy options during 2018.</p><p> </p><p>A key focus of our policy development will be the cost difference between low and high carbon technologies. We are investing £10 million in an innovation challenge fund to support low carbon heating systems, which will help drive down costs.</p><p>Alongside Winter Fuel Payments and Cold Weather Payments, policies such as the Warm Home Discount and Energy Company Obligation deliver vital support to millions of low income and vulnerable homes each year with heating and insulation measures as well as direct reductions in their energy bills. As set out in the Autumn Statement, a domestic supplier obligation with a value of £640m, will continue to be in place until 2022.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 05/02/2018 14:17:04 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
