question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the Ninth Report of Session 2021–22 of the Home Affairs Select Committee entitled Spiking, HC967, whether her Department plans to follow the recommendations of that report.
tabling member constituency	Shrewsbury

uin	3496
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2024 answer text <p>The Home Office has already implemented a number of the recommendations, or is in the process of doing so. This includes:</p><p>- The rollout of an online spiking reporting and advice tool across the UK to encourage more and better reporting of spiking, including anonymously. This is intended to improve data on the prevalence and scale of spiking.</p><p>- Providing funding for the development of spiking training to ensure that night time economy staff are trained to respond effectively to reports of spiking and co-ordinate with security staff and the emergency services.</p><p>- The government has committed in its manifesto to introduce a new criminal offence for spiking to help police better respond to this crime. This will form part of the Crime and Policing Bill.</p><p>- The formation of a rapid testing capability for spiking to gather more accurate results in a quicker time frame (2-3 weeks opposed to 6-8). This is being supported by research into the efficacy of rapid urine testing kits which aim to provide results in a matter of minutes. At this stage however, I urge anyone who believes they have been spiked to contact the police as soon as possible to provide a report and a urine sample for lab testing.</p><p>Many of these measures were designed with the aim of addressing the key barriers to prosecution which we have identified as lack of evidence, and identification of perpetrators.</p> answering member constituency Birmingham Yardley answering member printed Jess Phillips question first answered 04/09/2024 16:11:14 answering member 4370 label Biography information for Jess Phillips

tabling member printed	Neil O'Brien
uin	2470
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/09/2024 answer text <p>Refugee Integration Loans were introduced in 2007 following a public consultation and have operated over the last seventeen years to help recipients with the costs of integrating into UK society. They are funded by the Home Office, who make the initial decisions on applications. They are then administered and recouped by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). Single applicants can borrow between £100 and £500 and if applying jointly the maximum amount increases to £780.</p><p> </p><p>The Home Office work with DWP to administer the loans across different IT platforms. Consequently, data on the level of loans provided on an annual basis is not held in an easily reportable format and would require a manual search of records that could only be conducted at a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Feltham and Heston answering member printed Seema Malhotra grouped question UIN 2471 question first answered 02/09/2024 09:41:09 answering member 4253 label Biography information for Seema Malhotra
