answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Full-time students are not normally entitled to benefits as a means of supporting themselves whilst studying. This is because primary financial support for students comes from the educational maintenance system, which is designed for their needs, rather than through the social security system. Someone who has only temporarily withdrawn from a course, but has not abandoned it, is normally still treated as being in full-time education.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 14/01/2015 16:05:51 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper

uin	219971
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2015 answer text <p>Water quality is well regulated; the Drinking Water Inspectorate is responsible for regulating public drinking water and the Environment Agency is responsible for regulating water in the environment. Public Health England provides health risk advice to both these organisations and other public bodies (e.g. local authorities) on water pollution or water contamination incidents. In 2008, the United Kingdom expert committee on carcinogenicity of chemicals in food, consumer products and the environment (COC) considered the potential cancer risk from chlorination disinfection by-products including colon and brain cancer. The COC concluded that the evidence for a causal association between cancer and exposure to chlorination disinfection by-products is limited and any such association is unlikely to be strong.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 14/01/2015 16:37:14 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
