answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2016 answer text ​In June 2016 the Human Rights Council published a report detailing the horrific extent of trafficking of Yezidi women within Iraq and Syria. We do not have any evidence to suggest that Yezidi women are being trafficked outside of Iraq and Syria. We continue to work closely with our Global Coalition partners to defeat Daesh, including those in the region. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 09/11/2016 15:27:24 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL2795
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>On 13 October 2016 the Secretary of State for Transport announced an improved compensation scheme for passengers if their train is more than 15 minutes late. We will implement the policy in the Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) franchise, which includes Southern, within months.

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether section 26 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (as amended) permits school crossing patrols to be appointed and operated by schools or bodies other than the local authority.
tabling member printed	Baroness Pinnock
uin	HL2797
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>The provision of the school crossing patrol service is a matter for the local authority. Legislation gives ‘Appropriate Authorities’ the power to make arrangements (for example with schools and other bodies) for the patrolling of places where children cross roads on their way to or from school, but does not impose a duty on them to do so. The legislation defines Appropriate Authorities outside Greater London as the council of the county, unitary authority or metropolitan district; there are slightly different arrangements in London and in Scotland.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 08/11/2016 15:43:25 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
