	tabling member printed	Lord Tebbit
	uin	HL12919
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2019 answer text <p>The EU Common External Tariff applies to all EU members.</p><p>The Tariff is the name given to the combination of the nomenclature (or classification of goods) and the duty rates which apply to each category of goods. The duty rates differ from one kind of good to another depending on what they are and where they come from. The rates also depend on the economic sensitivity of the goods.</p><p> </p><p>The EU uses the World Customs Organisation’s Harmonised Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) as the basis for the Tariff. The HS comprises approximately 5,300 article/product descriptions that appear as headings and subheadings, arranged in 99 chapters, grouped in 21 sections.</p><p> </p><p>The EU Tariff contains the goods classification table which covers all categories of goods and the conventional import duty rates. The table is voluminous. It lists around 9500 classification codes. Food materials and products are found in Chapters 1 to 24. The type of product, the ingredients list or materials used to make it, the recipe and even the production method can affect the classification of a good.</p><p> </p><p>The EU Tariff is available to view on the EU Europa website. To get the full picture, the EU’s tariff database (TARIC) is also available to view and contains all the tariff preference and trade measures.</p><p> </p><p>In the event of the UK leaving the EU without a deal the UK Trade Tariff, detailing the goods classification codes and duty rates for UK imports will be available, as now, on GOV.UK. Importers of goods into the UK will no longer use EU Tariff information published by the EU.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 30/01/2019 14:04:36 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

Our response is however threat agnostic. <br>It is a matter for the Police to determine whether a crime has been committed and, where a crime has been committed, how it is classified. In its analysis of extremism, the Government applies the definition of extremism set out in the 2015 Counter-Extremism Strategy equally.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 04/04/2019 15:59:52 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

	tabling member printed	Lord Tebbit
	uin	HL238
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/01/2020 answer text <p>National Savings and Investments (NS&amp;I) comply with the law relating to cheques. There are several circumstances in which NS&amp;I would reject a cheque. These include the cheque being unsigned by the customer, out of date, or defaced. The Director of Savings, who is also the Chief Executive Officer of NS&amp;I, is the authority responsible for administering this policy.</p><p> </p><p>Premium Bond prize warrants are legally similar to cheques. As with cheques, they can be rejected if a duplicate has been issued. Due to an administrative error, a number of duplicate Premium Bond prize warrants were issued to customers in the October 2019 prize draw. NS&amp;I have since updated their processes to prevent this error occurring in future prize draws.</p> answering member printed The Earl of Courtown question first answered 17/01/2020 13:10:16 answering member 3359 label Biography information for The Earl of Courtown

	uin	HL904
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2021 answer text <p>The table below provides the number of people killed by offenders who were at the time on licence for an earlier homicide offence, for which they had served a prison sentence and been released. As they were on licence, when they were charged with a new offence of killing [homicide], it would have generated a formal serious further offence (SFO) notification to HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), and the number in each calendar year reflects the year in which HMPPS received the notification. The answer interprets homicide to include offences of murder, manslaughter, death by dangerous driving and death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs.</p><p> </p><p>Data are not available on offenders with a previous conviction for homicide who had completed their sentence and associated statutory probation supervision by probation and then went on to commit a further homicide.</p><p> </p><p>SFOs are rare. Fewer than 0.5% of offenders under statutory supervision are convicted of serious further offences. Nonetheless every single serious further offence is taken extremely seriously, and in all cases a review is carried out to identify any lessons for the better management of future cases.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year SFO notification received</p></td><td><p>Total number of people killed in a SFO by someone convicted of homicide offences at both index offence and SFO</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019<sup>[1]</sup></p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><ol><li>We will publish SFO conviction data for 2019/20 in October 2021, therefore data for 2019 can only be provided for January, February and March.</li><li>Figures are based on conviction data that was produced in September 2020.</li><li>Data are derived from the date of SFO notification to HMPPS</li><li>This figure only includes convictions for serious further offences that have been notified to the national SFO Team, HMPPS.</li><li>The data provided are provisional figures subject to change when any outstanding cases are concluded at court.</li><li>The data also includes cases where the offender committed suicide or died prior to the trial, where a Court has subsequently ruled that they were responsible.</li></ol><p>Data Sources and Quality.

	uin	HL3338
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>Although the costs of operations are met from the Exchequer, the House of Commons and House of Lords are not government departments and their budgets are a matter for each House rather than the government. The Clerk of the House of Commons and the Clerk of the Parliaments in the House of Lords, as the respective Accounting Officers, account for the expenditure of each House.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For reference, the costs attributable to the operations of Parliament were £358.2 million in 2013/14 (on an accruals basis); and £22.9 million in 1983/84 (on a cash basis). It should be noted, however, that the latter amount does not include services, such as printing and works, paid for at the time out of government departmental budgets. This, along with the different basis of the two figures, means they are not comparable.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 16/12/2014 16:12:52 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton
