answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>The Joint Comprehnesive Plan of Action is the product of 13 years of tireless diplomacy, and it is working, with Iran having reduced its stock of enriched uranium by 95 per cent. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has confirmed nine times that Iran is complying with the nuclear deal, most recently in February. The IAEA inspection regime agreed as part of the Iran nuclear deal is one of the most extensive and robust in the history of international nuclear accords. It remains a vitally important way of independently verifying that the deal is working and that Iran's nuclear programme is exclusively peaceful. This is why we are working hard to maintain the deal following the 8 May announcement of US withdrawal.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/05/2018 13:09:21 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2018 answer text <p>Firstly, I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of Janet Scott. Simon Mellors had been charged with her murder; at the time, he was being supervised on life licence in the community. He was remanded into custody but later found dead in his cell.</p><p>As is mandatory whenever an offender under statutory probation supervision commits a serious further offence (SFO), the National Probation Service (NPS) has undertaken a vigorous review of its supervision of Simon Mellors. The NPS will share the findings of the review with the family of Janet Scott, so that the family can see the action which the NPS will take to address any improvements needed. SFO reviews are internal and not published.</p><p>The Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004), requires a Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) where a death appears to have resulted from violence within the context of an intimate personal relationship. Community Safety Partnerships appoint an independent Chair and publish DHR Reports, albeit in an anonymised format, unless there are compelling welfare reasons not to do so. It is the duty of the NPS or CRC to participate in the production of the DHR and the findings of the SFO review in this case will be reflected in the contribution which the NPS makes to the DHR.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 11/05/2018 13:39:41 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
