answer text <p /> <p>We are conscious of the rise in burial and cremation fees. That is why the Social Fund Funeral Expenses Payment covers specified necessary costs. As these have increased in time, so has that portion of the overall Social Fund Funeral Payment. As such, the Government has protected these payments. The Social Fund Funeral Payment scheme continues to provide help towards a simple, respectful, low-cost funeral and the average funeral expenses payment in 2002/03 was £929 rising in 2013/14 to £1,347.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>This Government has also extended the Social Fund Budgeting Loans scheme so that these are also available to those on income related benefits to help towards the costs relating to funeral expenses.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Permitted development rights that allow the change of offices to residential use were introduced in May 2013. These rights are contributing to a more efficient use of our existing building stock, and are providing badly needed new homes such as studios and one-bedroom flats for young people, using brownfield land. This market-led approach reflects that business patterns are changing with new technology: as a whole, while there is increasing demand for new housing due to a growing population, modern firms need less physical office space than they used to.<br><br>My Department is considering responses to the technical consultation on planning that was published on 31 July.

answer text The Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations (PECR) 2003 already prevent international nuisance marketing calls being made on behalf of UK companies. Callers are legally required to ensure they do not call a number that is registered with the Telephone Preference Service (TPS). UK consumers are also protected if they have previously notified the caller that they do not wish to receive such calls. Callers can be subject to fines of up to £500,000 for breaching the regulations. International marketing calls on behalf of non-UK companies are outside of the UK’s jurisdiction.<blockquote> </blockquote> more like this

answer text <p>Our policy on the disclosure of information regarding air strikes by Royal Air Force aircraft engaged on Operation <em>Shader</em> in Iraq is that the detail of each individual strike is carefully considered against the necessary constraint of maintaining operational security, but our over-riding principle is to seek to place information on each strike in the public domain in a prompt and timely manner.</p><p> </p><p>This is consistent with, and a continuation of, Ministry of Defence practice for any operational information. It reflects the necessity for the Armed Forces of a democracy such as the UK not just to conduct military operations in a highly disciplined, careful and proportionate manner within the rule of law, but to demonstrate transparency and accountability for such activity. The need for this is all the more important when the military operations are being conducted against a terrorist organisation such as ISIL which wholly disregards the rule of law and relies on a perverted ideology and deceitful propaganda. This policy has been followed ever since the start of air strike operations in support of the Iraqi authorities, following the Parliamentary vote on 26 September. The primary channel for publishing this information is the Government website <a title="http://www.gov.uk/" href="http://www.gov.uk/" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a>, and the information thus disclosed has been regularly reported in the British and international media.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
