Under her leadership: every police force has published a domestic abuse improvement plan; new guidance has been published by the College of Policing; new training has been successfully piloted; and, for the first time, police are now collecting data against a national standard on all domestic abuse recorded crimes.</p><p>Since the publication of “Everyone’s Business” in 2014, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary, Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) has found that there have been considerable improvements in the overall police response to victims of domestic abuse.</p><p>The level of domestic abuse recorded by the police has increased by over 60 percent in less than three years and the Office for National Statistics (ONS) suggest this is due in part to police forces improving their recording as well as victims having greater confidence in the police to come forward.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 09/03/2018 13:06:13 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

To qualify, people usually need to have a minimum of ten years on their National Insurance record when they reach State Pension age. Our latest data on the number of qualifying years people have are for the 2015/16 financial year, so we do not yet have any data on the numbers of people reaching State Pension age under the new State Pension with less than 10 years of National Insurance contributions.</p><p> </p><p>Our analysis published in January 2016 forecast that around 2% of women in Great Britain reaching State Pension age by 2020 would have less than 10 qualifying years. Subject to qualification, Pension Credit may be available for people who are not eligible for the new State Pension.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 01/03/2018 14:20:31 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
