answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2016 answer text <p>The Government's view is that the Directive permits a risk-based approach to the identification of whether an individual is a politically exposed person and, when identified, the Directive enables the application of different degrees of enhanced measures to reflect the risks posed. The Government will be setting out this view in a consultation which will be published shortly.</p><p>The changes proposed under the Directive should not prevent any individual in this category from gaining or maintaining access to financial services. The Treasury regularly raises these issues with financial institutions and the regulator, and we encourage financial institutions to take a proportionate, risk-based approach when applying these measures.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 23/03/2016 09:15:42 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2016 answer text <p>Information on the number of fixed penalty notices (FPNs) issued by police forces is not centrally collected.</p><p>The police and local authorities are both enforcement authorities for offences related to smoking in private vehicles carrying children. Therefore in addition to police forces doing so, local authorities can also issue fixed penalty notices for these offences, and the police can pass information to local authorities to take enforcement action.</p><p>The legislation came into effect in October 2015, so no FPNs for smoking in vehicles with children would have been issued before this period.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 22/03/2016 13:33:58 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
