As a member of those two international financial institutions, the United Kingdom’s overall financial contribution is channelled to their investments in countries where they operate.

Most lodgers do not hold assured shorthold tenancies, but should they do so, their deposits would be covered by a recognised tenancy deposit scheme. The Government has no plans to extend the scope of tenancy deposit schemes.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 05/09/2019 16:40:55 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2019 answer text <p>The Grace One was in British Gibraltar Territorial Waters at a point two miles off the Eastside of Gibraltar when it was seized. The action taken by the Government of Gibraltar was entirely lawful in line with both EU and Gibraltarian law. Action was taken as the oil was believed to be travelling to an entity that is subject to EU sanctions under EU regulation 36/2012.</p><p>Article 14(2) of Council Regulation (EU) No 36/2012 provides that no funds or economic resources shall be made available, directly or indirectly, to or for the benefit of persons designated under the EU Syria sanctions regime. The definition of ˜economic resources&quot; at Article 1(f) of the Regulation encompasses assets of every kind, including oil. The Government of Gibraltar had reasonable grounds to suspect that the Grace One intended to supply oil to Baniyas Refinery Company in Syria, which has been designated by the EU since 23 July 2014.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 31/07/2019 12:47:44 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold this information. Govia Thameslink Railway, the operator of Thameslink services, has procedures in place for instances where a service operating without a second member of staff on board calls at an unstaffed station. For passengers who require assistance, there are a range of measures in place depending on the type of assistance that is required and the specific station. These measures are set out in Thameslink’s Disabled Persons Protection Policy (DPPP) which is available through this link: <a href="https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/travel-help/assisted-travel/disabled-persons-protection-policy" target="_blank">https://www.thameslinkrailway.com/travel-information/travel-help/assisted-travel/disabled-persons-protection-policy</a>.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 29/07/2019 16:48:00 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the effect of (a) driver controlled operation and (b) stations which are unstaffed or staffed part-time on accessibility for disabled people who wish to travel without pre-booking on Southern Railways.
tabling member constituency	Brighton, Kemptown
tabling member printed	Lloyd Russell-Moyle
uin	279444
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/07/2019 answer text <p>The Office of Rail and Road (ORR) and the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) have both confirmed that the driver operating the doors is a safe method of working. It is vital that train operators have policies in place so that passengers with disabilities are able to travel with confidence. ORR is the organisation which is responsible for the approval and monitoring of operators’ Disabled People’s Protection Policies (DPPP). Following the introduction of driver-controlled operation on Southern, ORR carried out a period of enhanced monitoring to ensure that policies were in place on Southern so that disabled passengers, regardless of whether they had pre-booked assistance or chose to travel spontaneously, and regardless of whether they were travelling to a staffed or unstaffed station, were able to complete their journey. ORR concluded that GTR had provided assurance that it has the systems and processes in place for this purpose. ORR continues to monitor operators’ compliance with their DPPP, and the Department supports it in doing so.</p> answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 29/07/2019 16:47:20 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
