answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/10/2016 answer text <p>We have at our disposal a range of strong enforcement powers, intended to ensure all parents fulfil their financial responsibilities towards their children. We use all of the powers available to us where it is appropriate to do so, and we are seeking to extend these where appropriate, for instance by deducting money from bank accounts held jointly by the paying parent.</p><p>We take into consideration a number of factors when deciding if and what type of enforcement action to take, including the welfare of any relevant children involved and the likelihood of collecting monies owed. Taking enforcement action can be a costly process, particularly in cases where the paying parent is determined not to pay – we must therefore ensure we maximise the efficiency and effectiveness of our enforcement system, deciding what is appropriate on a case by case basis and using powers that have the greatest chance of ensuring people meet their obligations and securing money for children.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 19/10/2016 16:00:56 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>I refer the Hon. Member to the response the Minister of State, my noble Friend, the Rt Hon. the Baroness of Anelay of St Johns, gave in the other place on 26 September 2016, <em>Official Report</em>, <em>House of Lords</em>, HL1823.</p><p>We strongly condemn the recent attacks on places of worship in Afghanistan. Our thoughts are with the victims and their families. The security situation in Afghanistan remains challenging. We commend the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces (ANDSF)'s resilience over recent weeks in combating a series of determined insurgent assaults. The Taliban continue to expand their influence in some rural areas and increasingly threaten some provincial capitals. However, with significant international assistance the government has been able to expand their influence in some rural areas and government forces have repelled assaults on significant population centres.</p><p>Along with international partners, the UK is committed to helping Afghanistan build a peaceful, stable and prosperous Afghanistan. At the Warsaw Summit in July 2016, NATO agreed to sustain its non-combat &quot;Train, Advise and Assist&quot; mission (Resolute Support) through 2017. We are increasing the UK forces under RS command by 10 per cent. I attended the Brussels Conference on Afghanistan on 4 October, which was another strong signal of international resolve. At that conference, the UK pledged £750 million in development support to Afghanistan through until 2020. Ultimately, a political settlement offers the best prospect for an enduring peace. We urge the Taliban to join the political process and become part of a brighter future for Afghanistan.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 17/10/2016 16:03:22 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>​As the Prime Minister, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Maidenhead (Mrs May) made clear on 13 October, the issue of a no-fly zone within Syria has been assessed over a number of years.</p><p>This Government is clear that it wants to see an end to the indiscriminate slaughter of innocent civilians in Syria. We are working hard within the international community to consider all options which could improve the situation.</p><p>History shows that establishing and policing no-fly or safe zones are not simple tasks, especially in intense conflict. In fact, there is a risk that safe zones can themselves become targets. The practicalities of any form of no-fly zone, or safe zone, need to be considered very carefully. We would need to understand fully the consequences of establishing a safe area, and we would need to work closely with our partners to consider how a no-fly zone or safe area would be protected.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 17/10/2016 15:56:55 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

Each constituent part of the United Kingdom will be treated equally. The appointment of candidates to contest these new seats will be a matter for political parties. We consider that it is primarily for political parties to ensure more diverse representation (including that of women) in the House of Commons through their selection of candidates.</p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 17/10/2016 09:43:57 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore
