question text	Her Majesty's Government to what timescale they aim to issue decisions on applications from asylum seekers for section 95 accommodation and subsistence support.
tabling member printed	Lord Beecham
uin	HL801
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2017 answer text <p>Asylum seekers who would otherwise be destitute can apply for free accommodation and cash support to cover their essential living needs whilst their cases are considered.</p><p>If they have an emergency need for accommodation they can ask to be put in initial accommodation whilst their support applications are being processed and the vast majority of such requests are processed on the same day. We aim to resolve Section 95 applications received from people in Initial Accommodation within 3 days and other applications from people staying in private accommodation within 10 days. All cases are considered on their own merits, in some cases applicants are asked to provide further information before a decision on eligibility can reached. Information on the average length of time between asylum support application and payment is not routinely collected and could only be provided by examination of individual case records, which would result in disproportionate cost.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/07/2017 10:44:01 question first ministerially corrected 20/07/2017 14:36:50 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford previous answer version 6009 answering member printed Lord Lee of Trafford answering member 1132

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2016 answer text <p>The Government is clear that stalking and harassment, which cause misery for victims, are totally unacceptable. The fixated nature of stalking may result in a prolonged campaign sometimes lasting many years. So we are determined to do everything possible to protect all victims of stalking and stop perpetrators at the earliest opportunity – even before the stage at which a perpetrator might be prosecuted. That is why, following a public consultation, we have recently announced that there will be a new civil stalking protection order, to support victims of stalking at an earlier stage and address the perpetrator’s behaviours before they become entrenched.</p><p>The number of restraining orders imposed as result of stalking and harassment in England and Wales, 2014 and 2015 can be viewed in the table. Information on the specific restrictions included in a restraining order is not held centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p>Nor do we hold data on how frequently perpetrators of these crimes seek to contact their victims through action in the civil or family courts. The courts do have powers to deal with unmeritorious claims and applications. The court may strike out the action as an abuse of process or issue an order restricting the litigant’s ability to continue with further applications or claims, either of its own motion or on request by a party to the proceedings.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 16/12/2016 12:51:16 question first ministerially corrected 19/01/2017 17:42:13 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah attachment 1 file name Final table 56513-56515.xls title Table 56513-56515 previous answer version 26921 answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
