answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/02/2016 answer text <p>Within the terms of the contracts for asylum accommodation the accommodation provider is required to respond to and address complaints from service users and external parties in the first instance. Where a service user or external party is dissatisfied with the response or the measures taken to address their complaint, the complainant may escalate the issue to the Home Office.</p><p>In the years 2010 to 2015 the Home Office has received 60 complaints in total regarding services provided under contract by Clearsprings Ready Homes, broken down by each of the last six years as follows:</p><p>Year No. of complaints</p><p>2010 0</p><p>2011 0</p><p>2012 0</p><p>2013 1</p><p>2014 0</p><p>2015 59</p><p>The complaints have not been categorised to distinguish whether the complainant was a service user or external party.</p><p>On receipt, each complaint is considered, investigated and addressed. If after investigation the Home Office determines that a complaint demonstrates a failure of the contractor to comply with the required standards and the contractor fails to address the complaint there are a range of contractual sanctions that the Home Office can and do impose.</p><p>The Home Office is working with contractors to undertake profiling and trend analysis of complaints, including why there was an increase in 2015. The Home Office is also assessing whether the existing channels are sufficiently capturing service user and external party concerns.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 04/02/2016 15:32:27 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 41640 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

We offer our heartfelt sympathies to the families affected by this terrible act of terrorism. The UK is working hard with regional countries; close international partners; and multilateral organisations to increase their capacity to address the security threats they face. Our major regional contributions are in Nigeria; at the HQ of the Multi-National Joint Task Force; and in support of the EU Training Mission in Mali. We are, though, supporting the Burkina Faso armed forces, together with a number of other African militaries, through our participation in regional training exercises.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 21/01/2016 16:44:34 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
