	uin	109629
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2017 answer text <p>The Home Office does not hold the information requested and does not specifically collect data from police forces on acid and other corrosive attacks as part of its regular data collection. Acid and other corrosive attacks resulting in injury are included in Office for National Statistics published statistics within assault with injury offences and assault with intent to cause serious harm offences, but cannot be disaggregated.</p><p>The National Police Chiefs’ Council undertook a voluntary data collection from police forces between November 2016 and April 2017 and 39 forces provided returns. This found that there had been 408 cases of attacks in the six month period. These figures must be treated with caution, as they are not official statistics and have not been subject to the usual assurance processes. We are working closely with the National Police Chiefs’ Council lead on what action can be taken to improve recording and a further data collection is underway.</p><p>In July the Home Secretary announced an action plan to tackle the use of acid and other corrosives in violent attacks. This is based on four key strands: ensuring effective support for victims and survivors; effective policing; ensuring that relevant legislation is understood and consistently applied, and restricting access to acids and other harmful products. We are continuing to progress the plan.</p><p>In addition, we are currently consulting on proposals to prohibit the sale of products containing the most harmful corrosive substances to under 18s, create a new offence of possession of a corrosive substance in a public place without good reason and create a minimum custodial sentence for those convicted of a second or subsequent possession offence. We have also announced our intention to make sulphuric acid a regulated substance under Schedule 1a to the Poisons Act 1972. This would mean you will need to have a licence to purchase sulphuric acid above a certain concentration.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 30/10/2017 17:00:14 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2018 answer text <p>Brain tumours can commonly refer to a range of different conditions depending on the type of tumour. They are also grouped with other central nervous system tumours when being recorded. As such it is not possible for us to isolate brain tumours as a separate recorded condition. The available information held relating to this condition is shown in the following tables:</p><p><strong>Table 1: Number of individuals making an initial claim to Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) whose main disabling condition was recorded as relating to Brain or Central Nervous System Tumours, by year of claim start Jan 2010 to Mar 2017: Great Britain</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of ESA </strong> <strong>claim start</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Initial ESA<br> claims</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p>1,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p>1,100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p>1,200</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017 (Jan - Mar)</strong></p></td><td><p>300</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Table 2: Number of individuals assigned to the ESA Support Group or the ESA Work Capability Group following their Work Capability Assessment (for initial, repeat or IB reassessment claims), whose main disabling condition was recorded as relating to Brain or Central Nervous System Tumours, by year of claim start or IB reassessment referral, Jan 2010 to Mar 2017: Great Britain</strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year of ESA claim start</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Initial ESA<br> claims</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Repeat ESA<br> assessments</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>IB<br> reassessments</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p>800</p></td><td><p>400</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>600</p></td><td><p>300</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>600</p></td><td><p>600</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>500</p></td><td><p>700</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>300</p></td><td><p>100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p>900</p></td><td><p>200</p></td><td><p>100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p>800</p></td><td><p>100</p></td><td><p>100</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2017 (Jan - Mar)</strong></p></td><td><p>200</p></td><td><p>-</p></td><td><p>-</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><strong>Source for Tables 1 and 2:</strong> Application data is derived from administrative data held by the DWP and assessment data provided by the Healthcare Provider.</p><p><strong>Notes for Tables 1 and 2:</strong></p><ol><li>The figures are rounded to the nearest 100. “–” denotes figures that are zero or less than 50.</li><li>The information for 2017 is provided up to March 2017 only; this is the latest data available at time of request.</li><li>National roll-out of IB reassessments began in March 2011.
