answer text <p>Any foreign national who is convicted of a crime and given a prison sentence is considered for deportation at the earliest opportunity. Where appropriate, the Government will also seek to permanently remove foreign criminals from the UK via the Early Removal Scheme once they have served the minimum required of their sentence.

answer text <p>The findings in the Inquiry’s report are shocking. The safety and welfare of children across all aspects of the youth justice system is a priority for government. We are already conducting an urgent review into safeguarding in the youth custodial estate and we have commissioned an independent review of pain inducing restraint techniques. We are also rolling out new specialist training and a specific qualification for staff working in the secure estate as part of a wide programme of reform, but we recognise further action is needed. We will carefully consider all the report’s recommendations and respond in due course.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The provisions in Part One of the Civil Liability Act (the Act) apply to the occupants of a motor vehicle. This includes all such claimants, whether they are driving, or a passenger in, a motor vehicle, and whether or not they were injured in the course of their employment.</p><p>Wide ranging debates on whether road users injured in the course of their employment should be exempted from the Government’s reforms, were held in both Houses during the Parliamentary passage of the Act. The Government stated its clear position on this point during those debates (Civil Liability Bill [HL], Lords Committee Debate, 10 May 2018, Columns 278/279 and Civil Liability [Lords] Commons Committee Debate, 11 September 2018, Column 8).</p> more like this

answer text <p>Information about the average clearance times for personal independence payment (PIP) appeals to the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS) is published at:</p><p>www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics</p><p> </p><p>SSCS appeals are listed into the hearing venue nearest to the appellant’s home address. The published data (which can be viewed at the link above) provide information about clearance times for PIP appeals at (a) the hearing venue covering Battersea and (b) nationally from 2015/16; data for the preceding two years are provided below.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p>Personal Independence Payment<sup>1</sup></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Fox Court <sup>2</sup></p></td><td><p>National</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Financial Year</p></td><td><p>Average Clearance Time (in weeks)</p></td><td><p>Average Clearance Time (in weeks)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-2014</p></td><td><p>~</p></td><td><p>9</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014-2015</p></td><td><p>15</p></td><td><p>14</p></td></tr></tbody></table><ol><li>PIP was introduced in April 2013 and replaced Disability Living Allowance</li><li>Appeals for those people living in the Battersea area are heard in the Fox Court venue</li></ol><p>~ There were insufficient cases in this period to provide a statistically robust average</p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large- scale case management system and are the best data that are available.</p><p> </p><p>Clearance times are calculated from receipt of the appeal to its final disposal. An appeal is not necessarily disposed of at its first hearing. The final disposal decision on the appeal may be reached after an earlier hearing had been adjourned (which may be directed by the judge for a variety of reasons, such as to seek further evidence), or after an earlier hearing date had been postponed (again, for a variety of reasons, often at the request of the appellant). An appeal may also have been decided at an earlier date by the First-tier Tribunal, only for the case to have gone on to the Upper Tribunal, to be returned once again to the First-tier for its final disposal.</p><p> </p><p>Latest figures (to December 2018) indicate that since PIP was introduced, 3.9 million decisions have been made, and of these 10% have been appealed and 5% have been overturned at tribunals.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
