answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office collect data from police forces in England and Wales on the number of offences recorded by the police related to domestic abuse. This collection is based on the government definition of domestic violence and abuse, which is:</p><p>“any incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening behaviour, violence or abuse between those aged 16 or over who are, or have been, intimate partners or family members regardless of gender or sexual orientation. The abuse can encompass, but is not limited to: psychological, physical, sexual, economic and emotional forms of abuse. Controlling behaviour is a range of acts designed to make a person subordinate and/or dependent by isolating them from sources of support, exploiting their resources and capacities for personal gain, depriving them of the means needed for independence, resistance and escape, and regulating their everyday behaviour. Coercive behaviour is an act or a pattern of acts of assault, threats, humiliation and intimidation or other abuse that is used to harm, punish, or frighten a person”.</p><p>Therefore, offences in which an adolescent is violent or abusive to a parent would be recorded only for those adolescents aged 16 and over.</p><p>It is not possible to separately identify incidents where an adolescent is violent or abusive to a parent within the domestic abuse data held centrally.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 223823 question first answered 25/02/2019 17:00:22 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

We also work very closely with the financial sector who, along with other reporting sectors, are required to disclose any suspicions they have concerning terrorist financing to the UK Financial Investigation Unit via Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). The Joint Money Laundering Intelli-gence Task Force (JMLIT) also brings together Government, financial institu-tions and law enforcement to exchange and analyse information to better de-tect and prevent the movement of terrorist funds.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 25/02/2019 16:50:50 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
