answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2022 answer text <p>The UK has long been a strong supporter of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe's (OSCE) Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine - politically, financially and through providing a large number of qualified personnel, including one of the Deputy Chief Monitors of the Mission. The UK Government condemned Russia's decision in March to block the renewal of the mission's mandate, which will lead to its full closure by 31 October 2022. As renewing the mandate requires consensus from all 57 participating OSCE States, including Russia, there is unfortunately no prospect of doing so under the current circumstances.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 12/09/2022 15:52:56 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

Our internal management information suggests there have been over 10,000 Pension Credit claims made during the week of the media day – an increase of 275% compared to the same week in 2021, which itself was an enhanced week due to the 2021 Pension credit Action Day.</p><p> </p><p>The impact of these claim volumes on numbers of successful awards and on Pension Credit take-up will take longer to establish given the usual cycle involved in producing those statistics. However, the campaign is ongoing including a particular focus on getting the private sector to drive forward efforts to enhance claims, and specific effort to reach out to communities who have traditionally not claimed pension credit. That work is very much ongoing.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 12/07/2022 15:25:19 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
