	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2020 answer text <p>On 20<sup>th</sup> October I laid secondary legislation in response to the Court of Appeal Judgment made on 22 June in the case of Johnson, Woods, Barrett and Stewart, which concerned claimants who receive two calendar monthly payments of earnings in one Universal Credit assessment period. This will allow us to reallocate a payment of earnings reported via the Real Time Information service to a different Universal Credit assessment period, either because it was reported in the wrong assessment period or (in the case of calendar monthly paid employees) it is necessary to maintain a regular payment cycle. This will mean that claimants who are paid calendar monthly will therefore have one salary payment taken into account in each assessment period. It also means that certain claimants will also benefit from any applicable work allowance.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 22/10/2020 16:41:40 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

Identity verification is built into the process in order to minimise the risk of fraudulent ordering.</p><p>If an individual is not willing or able to undertake the identity verification provided by TransUnion, they should call 119 for further assistance, or seek to book an appointment at a regional test site or mobile testing unit, where a member of staff will confirm their identity in person.</p><p>TransUnion provides identity verification checks as part of the registration process for a home test kit. This is not a credit check and will not affect an individual’s credit score.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 25/11/2020 11:06:39 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2020 answer text <p>The Affordable Homes Programme is delivered through Homes England and the GLA in London. Each bid into the programme is evaluated on its own merits and based on the value for money of the scheme as a whole. The Government does not set grant rates for the programme, however we would expect grant rates to be lower in areas where it is cheaper to build and who face lower affordability challenges.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 19/10/2020 12:34:59 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2020 answer text <p>The Home Office takes its responsibility for the welfare of children seriously and we have very stringent statutory and policy safeguards in place.  We have seen record numbers of arrivals on the south coast in recent weeks and are working hard to make sure every unaccompanied child receives appropriate support.</p><p>Unaccompanied children arriving in Dover are cared for in the Kent Intake Unit (KIU) before being placed in appropriate social services care. Those claiming asylum are only in the KIU whilst their claims are registered; it is not an immigration removal centre.</p><p>Children are always prioritised and supported there for as short a period as possible. The KIU also includes a non-detained waiting area where children can await the arrival of local authority social workers. Support is also provided on-site by the Refugee Council. Once a child is in the care of a local authority, they are afforded the same rights as all other looked-after children</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/10/2020 15:56:35 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
