uin	HL6960
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>The Government does agree that the Vagrancy Act is antiquated and not fit for purpose, and therefore we have committed to repealing it. We made that commitment during the passage of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act. Our commitment to repealing it has always been dependent on introducing modern replacement legislation to ensure that police and other agencies continue to have the powers that they need to keep communities safe and protect vulnerable individuals.</p><p>I cannot give a specific date when we will bring the legislation in. We will bring forward suitable replacement legislation in a future legislative vehicle.</p> answering member printed Lord Sharpe of Epsom question first answered 12/04/2023 12:31:30 answering member 4888 label Biography information for Lord Sharpe of Epsom

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government who has statutory responsibility for unaccompanied children seeking asylum who are in interim accommodation provided by the Home Office before they are placed under the care of a local authority.
tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL6875
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>Whilst an unaccompanied child is in interim accommodation provided by the department, the Home Office will do whatever is reasonable to safeguard and promote the child’s welfare. However, this does not impact the statutory duties owed to unaccompanied children by local authorities at this or any other time. It is for the relevant local authority to consider its duties under the Children Act 1989. The Home Office does not have, and therefore cannot discharge, duties under Part 3 of the Children Act 1989.</p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth question first answered 12/04/2023 11:44:31 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth
