uin	269643
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice has published information regarding prosecutions and convictions but the only hate crime offences specifically defined in legislation are ‘racially or religiously aggravated’ offences. The court outcomes for these offences can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/802314/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2018.xlsx</a></p><p>Filter by ‘Offence’ for offences starting with ‘racially or religiously aggravated…’ and select all that appear.</p><p> </p><p>As hate crime against individuals with learning disabilities is not specifically defined in legislation, we would not be able to distinguish whether or not a particular offence was related to a learning disability. For example, a relevant case could have the offence recorded simply as ‘common assault’. The level of detail required to answer this question may be held in court records, but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access and analyse individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 02/07/2019 16:45:45 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government is seeking to deliver continuity of existing international agreements as we leave the EU.</p><p>The EU has agreed to notify third countries that, during the implementation period, the UK is treated as an EU member state for the purposes of international agreements. This includes all EU international agreements, including free trade, and trade-related agreements. This provides a basis for continuity across all such agreements during this period.</p><p>In parallel, we’ve been engaging with third countries to identify which agreements are relevant, important and need action. Where this is the case, we are working with them to put in place successor agreements that replicate the effects of existing agreements as far as possible and which will come into force following the implementation period or on exit in the event of a ‘no deal’ scenario. The Secretary of State recently deposited information in the House Library on those international agreements which have already been signed and those which we expect to sign shortly. A number of these agreements include trade-related elements; for example the Trade in Wine Agreement with Australia, and Mutual Recognition Agreements with Australia and New Zealand. There are other agreements where the UK is seeking to ensure readiness by the end of March 2019. The precise number will depend on ongoing discussions with third countries, and we will provide a further update on these other agreements after technical discussions have concluded.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 07/02/2019 12:57:08 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>The Lifetime ISA was introduced in 2017 to encourage younger people to get into the habit of saving for the long term. The Tax Information and Impact Note for the Lifetime LISA estimated over 200,000 accounts would be opened in the first year. Initial reports to HMRC for the 2017/18 tax year show approximately 170,000 accounts were opened. We expect the final figure for 2017/18 to change as a result of the receipt of late or amended returns from providers. The Government keeps all aspects of the tax system under review. Where appropriate, future changes may be made through the annual Budget process.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/05/2018 13:59:45 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
