Together with the Department for Exiting the EU, we are analysing all the impacts of leaving the EU, looking at over 50 sectors. Once we have left the EU, decisions on how taxpayers’ money will be spent will be made in the UK. There may be European programmes in which we might want to participate, but this will be a decision for the UK as we negotiate the new arrangements.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock grouped question UIN 65661 65662 65664 question first answered 02/03/2017 16:34:23 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2017 answer text <p>The Victims’ Code is freely available online, but we know more must be done to support and protect victims. We have made positive steps to improve the experience of victims, by reducing unnecessary stress and emotional turmoil of attending court. We have also reconvened the Victims’ Panel, so we can learn from the experiences of victims of crime.</p><p> </p><p>Under the Victims’ Code those victims who feel that their rights have not been met can complain directly to the criminal justice agency concerned, and if they remain dissatisfied can take their complaint to the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. We are currently considering how compliance with the Victims’ Code might be improved and monitored, and exploring how those delivering services can be better held to account. Plans to engage with and obtain the views of victims and victims’ groups and criminal justice agencies are being developed. We will set out our strategy for victims within 12 months, and will bring forward any appropriate primary legislation.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee grouped question UIN 64533 question first answered 06/03/2017 15:59:15 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
