	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2022 answer text <p /><p>The Government is clear that exploitation through ‘sex for rent’ has no place in our society. However, there are two existing offences in the Sexual Offences Act 2003 which can, and have, been used to successfully prosecute this practice. The existing offences of causing or inciting prostitution for gain (section 52 of the 2003 Act) and controlling prostitution for gain (section 53 of the 2003 Act). These offences may capture instances of sex for rent, depending on the circumstances of the case.</p><p>We recognise the need to stamp out this abhorrent practice and support those at risk of exploitation. We have already taken action around this:</p><ul><li>to ensure prosecutors are clear on the law, the CPS amended their guidance on ‘Prostitution and Exploitation of Prostitution’ to include specific reference to the potential availability of charges for offences under sections 52 and 53 for ‘sex for rent’ arrangements;</li><li>to better protect tenants from rogue landlords who have been convicted of certain criminal offences, the Government introduced banning orders through the Housing and Planning Act 2016. A banning order prohibits named individuals from engaging in letting and property management work, and we have been clear that both housing associations and local authorities should use these orders if needed; and</li><li>we recognise the importance of ensuring we have the right legislation in place to tackle those seeking to exploit others through this practice, that is why in the VAWG Strategy we committed to working across Government and with partners to better understand the effectiveness of existing offences in tackling this issue and consider whether further reform is needed.</li></ul><p>The Online Safety Bill will include relevant offences relating to the incitement and control of prostitution for gain in the list of ‘priority offences’ which internet companies will need to take proactive steps to tackle. The Bill will capture user-to-user sites, where the majority of ‘sex for rent’ advertising takes place. Furthermore, the Bill places a duty on certain companies to take action in respect to ‘content that is harmful to adults’.</p><p>In parallel, officials are working with the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the College of Policing, for example, to ensure there is appropriate guidance for policing on the issue of sex-for-rent.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 16/02/2022 12:58:53 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2020 answer text <p>(1) This is a public health crisis more than anything and so requires a health response. To enable this our priority is to bring vulnerable people inside so they can self-isolate and stop the virus spreading. More than 5,400 rough sleepers and people who have been living in accommodation with communal sleeping spaces such as night shelters  – over 90% of those known to local authorities at the beginning of the crisis have now been made offers of safe accommodation – ensuring some of the most vulnerable in society are protected from the pandemic. This is a truly remarkable achievement, and one which is the result of the hard work of local government, agencies and charities across the country, who have helped to get people off the street and into safe accommodation, protecting the most vulnerable in society and ultimately saving lives.  We announced that councils across England will receive another £1.6 billion in additional funding to enable them to respond to other COVID-19 pressures across all the services they deliver, stepping up support for services helping the most vulnerable, including homeless people. This takes the total funding to support councils to respond to the pandemic to over £3.2 billion. This is in addition to £3.2 million in targeted funding for councils to support vulnerable rough sleepers.</p><p>(2) The Accommodation providers recognise the challenge of managing COVID 19 within our accommodation estate and are working closely with Public Health England (PHE) on how their guidance on social distancing and self-isolation is properly applied, while ensuring that people can continue to access essential services.</p><p>In Initial Accommodation facilities, which tends to be hostel based, PHE Guidance recommends that separate rooms and segregation be provided for symptomatic people, or they should be moved to hotels. Our providers have configured their accommodation estate to meet this guidance.</p><p>In Dispersed Accommodation, which is houses or homes of multiple occupancy accommodating small numbers, Service Users have been provided guidance to ensure they socially distance or self isolate in line with the advice provided to the general public. Additionally, services providers have enhanced their contact management and wraparound services to ensure access to medical care, food packages and other essential items.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/05/2020 11:12:55 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
