answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2021 answer text <p>The UK Government are committed to ensuring that the UK judiciary and UK lawyers should maintain the highest reputation in upholding the rule of law wherever they may sit on proceedings.</p><p>For example, in relation to Hong Kong, UK judges have played an important role in supporting the independence of Hong Kong’s judiciary for many years. We want this to, and hope that it can, continue. The UK judiciary is independent of the Government and it is therefore for them to make an assessment on this. The Lord Chancellor has, however, discussed with Lord Reed how they may jointly monitor developments to enable the Supreme Court to consider carefully the role of their sitting justices, and to assist other serving judges to determine the propriety of their continued service.</p><p>No formal consultation with the President of the UK Supreme Court is taking place.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk grouped question UIN 142865 question first answered 02/02/2021 16:35:02 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2021 answer text <p>The Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme is available to the employers of anyone who is unable to work, including from home, due to caring responsibilities arising from COVID-19, such as caring for children who are at home as a result of school and childcare facilities closing. However, the furloughing of staff through the CJRS is a voluntary arrangement, entered at the employers’ discretion and agreed by employees. It is not for the Government to decide whether an individual firm should put its staff on furlough.</p><p> </p><p>In the most recent national lockdown, the Government has chosen to keep early years settings open for all children. Vulnerable children and children of key workers can also continue to attend out-of-school settings, for example breakfast clubs and after-school clubs. Households with anyone aged under 14 can form a ‘childcare bubble’. This allows friends or family from one other household to provide informal childcare.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 29/01/2021 14:12:23 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
