answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>Decisions on fees and charges are a commercial matter for firms. However, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires firms to treat their customers fairly, and has broad and robust powers to enforce breaches of its rules.</p><p> </p><p>The latest Money Laundering Regulations are clear that firms must apply a risk-sensitive approach to identifying politically exposed persons (PEPs) and then applying enhanced due diligence (EDD) measures appropriately. This extends to assessing the circumstances in which the beneficial owner of a company is a PEP.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA has published guidance on how firms should identify and apply EDD measures to PEPs. This makes clear that UK PEPs should be treated as a low risk of money laundering, unless an FCA-regulated firm assesses that other risk factors not linked to their position as a PEP mean they pose a higher risk.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 15/05/2018 13:30:00 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>I have regular meetings with Sport England to discuss increasing disabled people’s participation in sport and physical activity as participants, spectators and in the workforce. The importance of increasing participation by underrepresented groups was highlighted in our strategy 'Sporting Future: A New Strategy for an Active Nation' which was published in December 2015.</p><p> </p><p>Sport England’s strategy ‘Towards an Active Nation’ also places a clear emphasis on targeting those who are hardest to reach, including disabled people. As such, they are ensuring that each of their investment programmes impacts directly on disabled people. For the financial year 2017/2018 Sport England invested £1.2 million into the English Federation of Disability Sport, now known as the Activity Alliance, to provide expertise and services in marketing and communications, research and insight, and engaging with disabled people and the disability sector. In addition, all of Sport England’s major capital investments are required to make their facilities accessible, and Sport England publish online tools and guidance to help designers, building owners and operators create accessible facilities.</p><p> </p><p>Government recognises the value of shooting as an outdoor recreation and is keen to ensure that everyone who wants to be involved has the opportunity to do so. Between 2017 and 2021, Sport England is investing £1,290,000 in British Shooting to continue to support more people to get involved in shooting sports and to develop talented athletes within the sport. The investment has also supported British Shooting to integrate Disability Shooting GB into its own governance and operation from April 2017.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 16/05/2018 09:53:57 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>In 2015, at the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly, the entire Commonwealth of Nations made the decision for shooting to be an optional sport at all Commonwealth Games. This was reaffirmed in 2016 when the new CGF Constitution was approved. Its status as an optional sport is not, therefore, a decision for UK government.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 16/05/2018 09:55:22 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>Capita are paid based on the number of assessment reports completed which meet the Department’s quality standards. Decisions on entitlement to Personal Independent Payment are made by DWP Case Managers not the assessment provider. When a decision is overturned at appeal it does not necessarily mean that the original decision and the assessment report considered in the decision making process, was wrong. Often additional written evidence not available to either the DWP Case Manager or the assessor at the time of the assessment is made available.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/05/2018 16:50:28 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
