answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2021 answer text <p>Government support for mobility needs is focused on people who become disabled earlier in life; developing mobility needs in older life is a normal consequence of ageing for which people can plan and save for.</p><p> </p><p>Individuals can claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for the first time up to the day before they reach State Pension age (SPa). Once someone is in receipt of PIP they can continue to do so beyond SPa, including the mobility component if they were in receipt of it on reaching SPa, for as long as they fulfil the entitlement conditions. There are limited circumstances where someone in receipt of the mobility component can move between rates once over SPa.</p><p> </p><p>PIP claimants over SPa cannot establish a new entitlement to either rate of the mobility component in line with the general principle set out above.</p><p> </p><p>The upper age limit for claiming PIP by new claimants for the first time was last reviewed prior to the most recent changes to SPa made by the Pensions Act 2014 and we have no plans to amend the upper age limit.</p><p> </p><p>Where someone develops mobility difficulties when over SPa they can use any benefit they receive, including the daily living component of PIP, to meet those needs in a way that best suits them. Additional travel concessions and support may also be available by reference to age, whether or not there are mobility needs.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson grouped question UIN 45129 question first answered 13/09/2021 15:25:50 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>Under the framework established by the Legal Services Act 2007, the legal profession in England and Wales, and the bodies that regulate it, are independent from government. It is the responsibility of the Legal Services Board (LSB), as oversight regulator, to ensure that the approved regulators are complying with the regulatory objectives set out in the 2007 Act.</p><p> </p><p>The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) regulates the conduct of solicitors and those who breach the conduct rules can be struck off or prosecuted before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT).</p><p> </p><p>The SRA has a discretionary compensation fund which is mainly for individuals where a solicitor’s firm owes them money. The SRA does not routinely compensate consumers and it is not the role of the SRA to pursue funds lost by clients from specific financial schemes.</p><p>In response to the question on the discretionary compensation payments made by the SRA I refer the honourable Member to the answer I gave on 29 April 2020 to question PQ38895.</p><p> </p><p>The latest reports on regulatory performance by the LSB are available online here <a href="https://www.legalservicesboard.org.uk/our-work/regulatory-performance#regulatory-performance-reports" target="_blank">https://www.legalservicesboard.org.uk/our-work/regulatory-performance#regulatory-performance-reports</a>.</p><p>There are no plans to review the Legal Services Act 2007. Arm’s Length Bodies of the Ministry of Justice are subject to a regular cycle of reviews as part of the Cabinet Office Tailored Review programme. A Tailored Review of the LSB was published in July 2017 which found that the LSB is generally effective both in promoting the regulatory objectives set out in the Legal Services Act and in delivering its functions.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk grouped question UIN 45125 45126 45127 question first answered 18/05/2020 09:14:40 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2016 answer text <p>The Government is supportive of the International Olympic Committee's Agenda approach that honours clean athletes by awarding an Olympic medal following a positive doping case. Formal medal ceremonies are arranged for medal-winners who receive their Olympic medal following the disqualification of a competitor. There is absolutely no place for drug cheats in sport and it is completely right that clean athletes receive medals when tests have proven doping violations.</p> answering member constituency Chatham and Aylesford answering member printed Tracey Crouch question first answered 12/09/2016 16:12:51 answering member 3950 label Biography information for Dame Tracey Crouch
