answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2019 answer text <p>We do not hold relevant data on levels of violent crime directed at homeless people, however in April 2018 the Government published the Serious Violence Strategy which sets out our evidence and analysis of violent crime.</p><p>The Strategy identifies a range of risk and protective factors that may increase an individual’s involvement in violent crime and the evidence suggests that being homeless is one of the markers for increased risk of both victimisation and perpetration of serious violence and also substance abuse. We also know that the homeless are particularly targeted by county lines gangs.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 20/02/2019 17:18:22 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 6 February (HL13093 and HL13094), what assessment they have made of the impact of their decision to delay the roll-out of Universal Credit on the (1) number of children eligible for free school meals, and (2) ability of families to access such meals.
tabling member printed	Lord Bassam of Brighton
uin	HL13492
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2019 answer text <p>I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave on 6 February 2019 to <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2019-01-24/HL13093/" target="_blank">HL13093</a> and <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2019-01-24/HL13094/" target="_blank">HL13094</a>.</p><p>The eligibility criteria for free school meals (FSM) remains the same following changes to the rollout schedule for Universal Credit (UC), and we will keep the level of the earnings threshold under review following UC rollout. Households that are receiving legacy benefits will continue to access FSM in the same way they do now, and as households migrate to UC in due course, they will remain eligible for FSM throughout the rollout of UC. Our protections mean that even if a household moves above the earnings threshold or ceases to claim benefits, they will continue to receive FSM for the duration of the UC rollout.</p><p>No child that is eligible for and currently receives FSM will lose their entitlement to FSM as a result of UC during the roll out phase, and even more children will benefit by retaining eligibility through the protections we have put in place.</p><p>The department wants to make sure that as many eligible pupils as possible are claiming FSM and to make it as simple as possible for schools and local authorities to determine eligibility. To support this we provide:</p><p>The eligibility checking service to make the checking process as quick and simple as possible for schools and local authorities;</p><p>A model registration form for paper-based applications; and</p><p>Guidance to Jobcentre Plus advisors and work coaches so they can make UC claimants aware that they might be entitled to FSM.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton question first answered 20/02/2019 15:03:24 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton

tabling member printed	Baroness Cox
uin	HL13499
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/02/2019 answer text <p>We have seen no evidence of government involvement in the intercommunal violence which has affected multiple states across Nigeria. We regularly reinforce to the Nigerian authorities the importance of protecting civilians and upholding human rights standards. Any member of the Nigerian security services found to have been involved in human rights violations must be held accountable.</p><p>The UK does not intend to withdraw development and humanitarian assistance from Nigeria, which faces numerous challenges to its future growth and development. The humanitarian crisis in the north-east is worsening, millions of children lack access to clean water, sanitation or education, and conflict continues to affect the oil-rich Delta region. Despite significant natural resources, around a third of Nigerians (60 million) live below the national poverty line with around another third just above; many of them are highly vulnerable and at risk of being trafficked to the UK. The UK is focused on helping Nigeria overcome these challenges.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 20/02/2019 16:27:27 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
