answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2020 answer text <p>During the COVID-19 pandemic MHCLG asked all local authorities to provide information on their rough sleeping cohort in order to support local authorities to make offers of accommodation to people who were sleeping rough, in shared sleeping sites, such as night shelters, or considered to be at risk of rough sleeping, to reduce the risk faced by some of the most vulnerable in society. This collection of data does not record information on whether someone is a veteran or not.</p><p>H-CLIC (Homelessness Case Level Information Collection) is still the main vehicle to capture more detailed data on those offered assistance under a Housing Act duty. Any rough sleeper helped under a Housing Act duty should have their data recorded on the H-CLIC system, including those that are ex-armed forces personnel. We anticipate publishing H-CLIC data for the April 2020 to June 2020 period in autumn 2020.</p><p>In May 2020, we published the latest H-CLIC data for the October to December 2019 period. In this dataset, there were 470 households that required additional support because they contained ex armed forces personnel. This represents less than 1 per cent, of the 67,280 households that were owed a homelessness duty.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 16/07/2020 14:13:59 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

uin	72751
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2020 answer text <p>The £1.6 billion Extraordinary Funding and Financing Agreement to enable Transport for London (TfL) to continue operating services contained a series of conditions to facilitate safe travel on public transport in London, including the temporary suspension of free travel for under 18s. These conditions were agreed by the Mayor of London and Deputy Mayor for Transport.</p><p> </p><p>Before the Covid-19 crisis, around a third of journeys in the morning peak period were made by young people travelling to school and many of these journeys were less than 2km in length. The temporary suspension of free travel for under 18s will help to reduce demand for public transport so that those who need to use it can do so safely.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is working closely with TfL and the Department for Education on how the temporary suspension can be operationalised. Any child eligible for free home to school travel under the Education Act 1996 will still receive this. The Department is also completing an Equality Impact Assessment, which will consider whether there are further categories of children that should receive free transport.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 16/07/2020 11:31:18 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean

The UK is one of only a handful of nations that meets the 2 per cent target, and we remain the largest European Defence spender in NATO. It is too early to speculate on the outcomes of the Integrated Review but I can assure you that our national security capabilities will be determined by the threats that we face and that this country will maintain the strength of our world class Armed Forces.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 16/07/2020 16:51:54 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
