answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>I meet regularly with the Director of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) to discuss casework and corporate matters, including issues connected to victims of crime and compensation.</p><p> </p><p>The SFO always aims to trace and seize money and other assets from criminals in all of its fraud, bribery and corruption cases, so that criminals do not benefit from their offending and victims can be compensated wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>The SFO continues to perform well in this regard and its proceeds of crime recovery rate was higher than all comparable UK agencies in three of the last four years. Last year, the SFO recovered the fourth highest amount in value out of 180 agencies across England and Wales, after HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the Metropolitan Police and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), all of which are much larger organisations. Its success in recovering the proceeds of crime and the work of its Witness Care Team in supporting victims – sometimes totalling thousands in a single case – and witnesses were also positively recognised in two HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) inspection reports published in the past year.</p><p> </p><p>Internationally, the SFO recently obtained £210,610 in compensation as a result of its investigation into Amec Foster Wheeler Energy Limited. The funds will be transferred by the UK Government to the Federal Government of Nigeria, and will support key infrastructure projects, ensuring that the people of Nigeria benefit directly.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 29/03/2022 08:08:11 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	144907
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2022 answer text <p>As a result of the safety concerns relating to co-proxamol and its subsequent withdrawal from the market in January 2005, co-proxamol is not recommended for routine prescribing in England. This is detailed in the joint NHS England and NHS Improvement and National Health Service clinical commissioners’ guidance issued in 2019 to clinical commissioning groups (CCGs), for medicines with low clinical effectiveness, where there is a lack of robust evidence of clinical effectiveness or there are significant safety concerns.</p><p>In the case of co-proxamol, this was deemed to be a product with significant safety concerns. The guidance recommends to CCGs that prescribers in primary care should not initiate co-proxamol for any new patient and de-prescribing of co-proxamol in all patients should be supported and, where appropriate, ensure the availability of relevant services to facilitate this change. We expect CCGs to take this guidance into account and prescribers to reflect local policies in their prescribing practice. However, the guidance does not remove the clinical discretion of the prescriber.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 28/03/2022 13:17:56 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

uin	144880
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2022 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) does not take the decision to cancel driving tests lightly and will only do so when it has exhausted every possible avenue and tried to find another examiner to provide cover. All available practical driving test appointments, including cancellations, are shown on the live booking system to everyone at the same time. Any additional tests are added as soon as they become available. The DVSA has a 24-week forward booking window and tests are not available to book beyond this.</p><p> </p><p>Candidates can check for earlier appointments at their local test centres on the gov.uk/change-driving-test services. Other candidates cancelling or rescheduling their test also free up slots for others to book, and appointments may be available at other nearby centres.</p><p> </p><p><em> </em></p><p>The DVSA is aware of apps or bots that constantly search its system for driving test slots. These are not approved by the DVSA and make it harder for candidates to get a test and can also result in people paying more for a test than the official test fee. There is also a risk that candidates may not receive important information about their test. The DVSA has invested in making it harder for bots to access its booking services and there has been a significant drop in traffic to these services due to successfully identifying and blocking bots. The DVSA will continue to inform candidates of the official channels for booking a test.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 28/03/2022 10:37:32 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
