	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>Under proceeds of crime legislation, asset sharing and repatriation is ultimately the Government’s decision following the recovery of assets/money under a court order it is a matter of how to then dispose of those recovered moneys. In confiscation cases, the UN Convention Against Corruption requires a full return to victim States and the EU Framework Decision on confiscation orders requires a 50% share in cases in excess of 10,000 Euros.</p><p>There are other bilateral and multilateral international agreements that encourage the sharing of recovered assets. The UK does not require an international agreement to share or repatriate assets and does so on request on an ad hoc basis. The presumption is that 50% is shared with the requesting country. There are few cases so far, but none have been refused.</p><p><br>The Government does not intervene with similar cases involving the Overseas Territories or Crown Dependencies.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 25/02/2019 16:57:53 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government has implemented a number of initiatives to enable refugees to access benefits and housing promptly once any support they have been provided by the Home Office ends 28 days after the grant of their status. These include providing a National Insurance number and the offer of an appointment with their nearest Jobcentre Plus office, so that the refugees can make a claim for mainstream benefits provided by the Department of Work and Pensions.</p><p>Refugees are also eligible to receive assistance with housing from their local authority, in the same way as British Citizens or other permanent residents of the UK and are treated as having a priority need if they have children or are considered vulnerable. Asylum accommodation providers are under a contractual duty to refer these cases to the appropriate local authority.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 25/02/2019 17:14:32 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes
