	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2021 answer text <p>The Domestic Abuse Act provides for the first legal definition of domestic abuse which can encompass a wide range of behaviours that can affect many aspects of a victim’s life and relationships, including those with pets.</p><p>The Act also amended the definition of ‘personally connected’ which removed the ‘living together’ requirement for the controlling or coercive behaviour offence. This means, as of Spring 2022, the offence will now apply to intimate partners, ex-partners or family members, regardless of whether the victim and perpetrator live together.</p><p>The draft Domestic Abuse Statutory Guidance published for consultation, and the upcoming Controlling or Coercive Behaviour Guidance, both recognise domestic abuse can involve violence or threats against pets, including to control, coerce or cause distress to victims. The guidance seek to support agencies in identifying and responding to domestic abuse and reducing risk to victims.</p><p>Finalised Domestic Abuse Guidance will be issued after all of the relevant updates have been made. The Controlling or Coercive Behaviour Guidance will be published for consultation shortly.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 13/12/2021 17:31:01 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

	tabling member constituency	East Lothian

	uin	19701
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is the safety and security of the UK and the people who live here.</p><p>The Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO) advise against all travel to Libya. This advice has been in place consistently since 2014. During the 2011 conflict, FCDO clearly advised against all travel to Libya, however, in light of the improving security situation between September 2011 and 2014, the FCDO downgraded advice in some areas, including Tripoli and Benghazi, to advise against all but essential travel. A range of tools are available to disrupt those who wish to engage in criminal activity abroad. Since 2013, royal prerogative powers can be exercised against British passport holders to refuse to issue or cancel a British passport on public interest grounds.</p><p>To counter the threat we face from people travelling for terrorism-related purposes, schedule 1 to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 enables police officers at ports to seize and temporarily retain travel documents to disrupt immediate travel, when they reasonably suspect that a person intends to travel to engage in terrorism related activity outside of the UK.</p><p>Depending on the nature of activity and the circumstances in which it was carried out, travel to engage in overseas conflict could potentially give rise to offences under UK law, including terrorism offences, and war crimes. Where individuals do return, they should expect to be investigated and, where there is evidence that crimes have been committed, they should expect to face prosecution. Any decision to prosecute will be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) - both the police and CPS are operationally independent of Government.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/06/2022 16:58:09 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
