This policy will come into effect before the end of the year, and until then our current policy is that transgender women cannot be held in the women’s estate unless they have been through a robust risk assessment, which considers offending history.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 30/11/2022 15:30:45 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds attachment 1 file name 2022-11-30 96653 table.xlsx title PQ96653_table

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department's policy was on UK citizens travelling to fight in Libya during the war in that country which began in 2011, including the placing of restrictions on people wishing to travel there.

uin	19701
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government’s priority is the safety and security of the UK and the people who live here.</p><p>The Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office (FCDO) advise against all travel to Libya. This advice has been in place consistently since 2014. During the 2011 conflict, FCDO clearly advised against all travel to Libya, however, in light of the improving security situation between September 2011 and 2014, the FCDO downgraded advice in some areas, including Tripoli and Benghazi, to advise against all but essential travel. A range of tools are available to disrupt those who wish to engage in criminal activity abroad. Since 2013, royal prerogative powers can be exercised against British passport holders to refuse to issue or cancel a British passport on public interest grounds.</p><p>To counter the threat we face from people travelling for terrorism-related purposes, schedule 1 to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 enables police officers at ports to seize and temporarily retain travel documents to disrupt immediate travel, when they reasonably suspect that a person intends to travel to engage in terrorism related activity outside of the UK.</p><p>Depending on the nature of activity and the circumstances in which it was carried out, travel to engage in overseas conflict could potentially give rise to offences under UK law, including terrorism offences, and war crimes. Where individuals do return, they should expect to be investigated and, where there is evidence that crimes have been committed, they should expect to face prosecution. Any decision to prosecute will be a matter for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) - both the police and CPS are operationally independent of Government.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/06/2022 16:58:09 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2022 answer text <p>There are a wide range of reasons that police may stop individuals travelling through ports. Under Schedule 7 to the Terrorism Act 2000, Counter-Terrorism Police officers can stop and examine members of the public travelling through ports to determine their involvement in terrorist activity. The Home Office does not routinely comment on individual cases, and decisions on who to examine under Schedule 7 are made independently of government by the police.</p><p>I would refer the Honourable Member to the first volume of the Chair’s findings of the Manchester Arena Inquiry, which was published in June 2021. Volumes 2 and 3 of the findings are scheduled for publication later in 2022, and further information can be found on the Inquiry’s website: manchesterarenainquiry.org.uk</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 27/06/2022 15:49:49 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
