answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2014 answer text <p>All school staff have a responsibility to identify children who may be in need of extra help or who are suffering, or are likely to suffer, significant harm. All staff then have a responsibility to take appropriate action, working with other services as required. Those responsibilities, which apply to the risk of forced marriage as to any other form of abuse, are set out in ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’ statutory guidance for schools and their staff which the Government published in April 2014.[1]</p><p>The statutory guidance contains links to more detailed guidance on specific risks, including multi-Agency guidelines on forced marriage.[2] The chapter of those guidelines which focuses on schools, colleges and universities indicates: what teachers should look out for, such as changes in behaviour or attendance or the early marriage of a sibling; how they can support girls, by giving access to support and advice; and what they should do if they suspect a girl is being forced into marriage, including activating local child protection procedures.</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/keeping-children-safe-in-education</a></p><p>[2] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/322307/HMG_MULTI_AGENCY_PRACTICE_GUIDELINES_v1_180614_FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/322307/HMG_MULTI_AGENCY_PRACTICE_GUIDELINES_v1_180614_FINAL.pdf</a></p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 10/12/2014 17:11:53 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

uin	HL3510
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The UK Government has welcomed the Smith Commission Agreement and has committed to delivering draft clauses by 25 January 2015. The Government will now prepare draft clauses in order that the Agreement can be implemented. This includes the recommendation to devolve the functions of the British Transport Police. We are considering how these can best be devolved whilst ensuring that the security of the railway, its passengers and staff, is not compromised. Once the functions of the British Transport Police have been devolved it will be for the Scottish Government to decide how to police the railway network in Scotland.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 15/12/2014 12:19:59 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>As a result of our analysis of the responses to the two consultations it is clear that more detail is required as to how a replacement for the Levy would work. In order to enable a fair comparison between reform and replacement we will work up the “racing right” proposal and engage constructively with stakeholders so that a fully informed decision can be made. We will consult early in the New Year.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 11/12/2014 16:22:11 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL3466
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>Combating cyber crime is a core part of the National Cyber Security Strategy, which is underpinned by the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) and £860 million of investment over five years. The Government has so far committed around 10% of NCSP funding to build law enforcement capabilities to tackle cyber crime. This includes the establishment of the National Cyber Crime Unit (NCCU) in the National Crime Agency (NCA), and cyber teams within each of the Regional Organised Crime Units across England and Wales.</p><p>Almost every major cyber crime investigation has an international element and as a result the NCA has prioritised building partnerships with key international partners to tackle this common cyber threat.</p><p>To this end, and as a result of NCSP investment, the NCA has deployed a number of International Liaison Officers overseas. The NCA, EU and other international partners (US, New Zealand, Australia and Canada) have agreed common threats and goals which are informing the development of a model for proactive global joint cyber investigations. Over the past year the NCCU has led the UK response in a number of global operations targeting malware and the unit has a leading role in the Joint Cybercrime Action Taskforce (J-CAT) hosted at the European Cyber Crime Centre at Europol.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 15/12/2014 12:48:28 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
