answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/03/2015 answer text <p>In accordance with the two stage test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors, the CPS carefully considered the evidence submitted by the private prosecutor both on its own and in addition to the material already in its possession from the earlier decision. In both cases the CPS concluded that there was no realistic prospect of conviction for the charge selected by the private prosecutor.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In addition the CPS considered whether both sets evidence taken together might be sufficient to provide a realistic prospect of conviction for <strong><em>any</em></strong> abortion offence. It was concluded that there was sufficient evidence to prosecute an offence of using poison, instruments or any other means with intent to procure an abortion but that this was very finely balanced. It further concluded that the public interest considerations in not pursuing a prosecution outweighed those in favour for the same reasons as in 2013, most importantly the lack of professional guidance on how doctors should approach comparative risk assessments.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The full reasons for the decision are available on the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) website: <a href="http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/latest_news/cps_decision_to_stop_private_prosecutions_of_doctors_charged_with_abortion_offences/" target="_blank">http://www.cps.gov.uk/news/latest_news/cps_decision_to_stop_private_prosecutions_of_doctors_charged_with_abortion_offences/</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Mr Robert Buckland question first answered 24/03/2015 17:04:15 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2015 answer text <p>The amendment of the Fire and Rescue National Framework for England, which places firefighter fitness principles on a statutory basis, came into force on 12 January 2015. The National Framework sets out that fire and rescue authorities must not only have fitness policies in place, but policies to support those who become unfit, including fully exploring opportunities for reasonable adjustments and redeployment. The National Framework also records my decision to set in train an independent review of these principles and their operation in three years time, and in the light of that review, to take such additional action as might be required to ensure the commitments made to Parliament are secured. No firefighter will see any change to their expected Normal Pension Age until 2022.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 09/02/2015 15:50:19 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
