answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2019 answer text <p>I am committed to working with partners and stakeholders across the system to ensure the most effective support for victims of serious and violent crime.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice funds the provision of the national Homicide Service, which supports families bereaved by murder and manslaughter, and provides grant funding to Police and Crime Commissioners for the provision of support to other victims of crime including serious and violent crime in their areas.</p><p> </p><p>Many victims of the most serious violent crime have enhanced entitlements to services under the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime in England and Wales. We committed in the Victims Strategy published in September to consider whether enhanced entitlements need to be revised in the Code. We will publish a consultation on a revised Code this year.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister hosted a Serious Youth Violence Summit on 1 April, and following this on 4 April I hosted a roundtable event on the effectiveness of the Criminal Justice System in tackling serious violence. One of the areas of focus was on developing support arrangements for victims of serious violence. An immediate step in this work, which I will be announcing later today (4 April 2019), will be to develop support for direct witnesses of murder or manslaughter.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 04/04/2019 16:26:09 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring the benefits of existing EU trade agreements are maintained, providing a smooth transition as we leave the EU. The best way to provide that continuity and stability is for the UK to leave the European Union with a negotiated deal so that the UK can remain covered by all of these agreements during the proposed Implementation Period.</p><p> </p><p>Nevertheless, the Government is working to have bilateral agreements in place ready for when they are needed, whether that is in the event of no deal, or after the proposed Implementation Period. We have made good progress signing trade continuity agreements, most recently with Iceland and Norway. Trade with countries where agreements have already been signed or finalised accounts for more than half of the UK’s trade with countries for which the UK is seeking continuity.</p><p> </p><p>Many discussions with other countries are at an advanced stage. As with all such discussions, they tend to go down to the wire, and we would expect nothing less from these agreements. Each of the UK’s trade partners will have made an assessment of the likelihood of a no deal scenario, and factored in their own domestic situations, when approaching discussions of continuity with the UK.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 05/04/2019 09:18:35 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

The AFC will ensure that any concerns and issues raised which affect Service Personnel and their families are integrated within the wider work of Jobcentre Plus.
