	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>It is a matter for Member States to define how their competent authorities establish joint investigation teams. However, the Second Additional Protocol is not in force in Austria, Cyprus, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg and Spain and as such does not offer a basis for the UK to establish joint investigation teams with those Member States. To date the UK has participated in 54 joint investigation teams.</p><p>This includes six JITs with Member States that have not ratified the Second Additional Protocol, five of which are ongoing. A recent example of a Joint Investigation Team was Operation Birkhill, which was a joint operation with Hungary targeting a UK-Hungarian sex trafficking organised crime group. As a result of the operation, five people were sentenced to a total of 36 years imprisonment earlier this year.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> question first answered 23/10/2014 15:13:29

	answer	answer is ministerial correction answer text <p>The Government has had to make difficult decisions this year on pay but staff will be receiving an award worth at least 1% either through annual incremental progression or a non-consolidated payment for those at the top of the payscales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Just over half of Hospital and Community Health Service (HCHS) staff would be expected to receive incremental pay progression worth an average of around 3.5%. This is estimated to cost nearly £800 million, or around 1.75% of paybill, in 2014-15. Some of this cost would be expected to be offset by the net effects of joiners and leavers on the mix of staff across incremental pay points, but it remains the case that paybill pressures would be nearly £800 million lower without incremental progression.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>For 2014-15, the cost of the Pay Review Bodies’ recommendations of a 1% pay uplift for all HCHS staff would have been around £450 million, or 1% of paybill. By contrast, the headline cost of non-consolidated awards worth 1% of basic pay for those at the top of their pay band, as actually awarded, is estimated at around £150 million, or around 0.35% of paybill.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to a National Health Service that provides safe, compassionate care. The choice we faced was either to invest more in pay or to protect the front line; we cannot afford to do both.
