answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/01/2022 answer text <p>The law does not allow a driver to hold both a GB and an EU driving licence at the same time. Any driver holding an EU driving licence must surrender it before a GB licence can be issued. This is an important provision which helps prevent the circumvention of the system of driving licence endorsements and disqualification for road traffic offences. There are no plans to amend this provision.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 31/01/2022 14:48:51 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2022 answer text <p>No assessment has been made.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit is a household benefit. A Universal Credit award is calculated on the basis of the set benefit rate based on individual household circumstances, against any other income the household has available, to ensure fairness of treatment for all claimants. This is a long standing principle of means-tested benefits. Income does not include any Personal Independence Payment the disabled person may be receiving, as it is disregarded in the calculation of Universal Credit.</p><p> </p><p>For Universal Credit claimants with health conditions and disabilities which restrict, wholly or partly, their capability for work, additional financial help is available. Those with limited capability for work (LCW) or limited capability for work related activity (LCWRA) have:</p><ul><li>a work allowance, and</li><li>in couple claims where one is working, access to help with childcare costs.</li></ul><p> </p><p>Claimants who are determined to have LCWRA are entitled to the award of an additional amount of benefit – the LCWRA addition – which is £343.63 per month (2021-22 rates).</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 26/01/2022 17:54:26 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2022 answer text <p>The Health Protection (Coronavirus, International Travel and Operator Liability) (England) Regulations 2021 and The Health Protection (Notification) Regulations 2010 provide the legal framework for the minimum standards required from private testing providers. This includes meeting the required timetable for testing. For polymerase chain reaction testing, this states that the maximum time for providers to return the test result to the consumer is 48 hours from receipt of the sample at the laboratory. A provider may be removed from GOV.UK on a precautionary basis pending investigation if it is believed to be risking public safety and not meeting the minimum standards. Local Trading Standards are responsible for formal proceedings.</p> answering member constituency Erewash answering member printed Maggie Throup question first answered 19/01/2022 13:14:53 answering member 4447 label Biography information for Maggie Throup
