answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2017 answer text <p>The UK is a signatory to the 1961 UN Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness. The principle of that Convention is that statelessness should be avoided. It seeks to prevent statelessness by prohibiting the withdrawal of citizenship from the nationals of a state when doing so would result in them becoming stateless. British nationality legislation reflects this position and therefore only makes provision for British Protected Person status to be lost automatically where a person has another nationality. It can also be removed where deprivation of citizenship would be conducive to the public good and the individual would not become stateless as a result, or if the person had obtained the status through deception.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 27/01/2017 09:53:31 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/01/2017 answer text <p>The Government is committed to improving its understanding of domestic homicides in order to prevent these tragedies from happening in the first place. In April 2011, the Government placed Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs) on a statutory basis to ensure local areas learn lessons from these tragic deaths.

A new transformational training package, Domestic Abuse Matters, has been developed and piloted in partnership with voluntary sector partners.

In addition, the College of Policing have been awarded £1.9 million to develop a comprehensive package of training for new leaders in vulnerability who will coach, brief and debrief frontline officers so they are better able to identify signs of vulnerability and support victims.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 27/01/2017 14:10:33 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2017 answer text <p>Pension Credit is an income-related, non-taxable benefit which is intended to provide people of pension age with financial assistance to enable a minimum guaranteed amount to meet living costs in Great Britain. It is a basic condition of entitlement that a person be in Great Britain to receive it. Although Pension Credit is not intended to subsidise absences from Great Britain, in certain circumstances entitlement to the benefit can continue during a temporary absence abroad.</p><p> </p><p>It is the Government’s view that the current rule, which allows entitlement to continue for up to four consecutive weeks during a period of absence from Great Britain, is reasonable and justified. It allows time, for example, for holidays and visiting families, without a person having to reclaim Pension Credit on their return to Great Britain. There are exceptions to the general four week rule. Pension Credit can continue for up to 26 weeks where medical treatment or medically approved convalescence is required outside Great Britain. Where the absence is in connection with a death of a partner or close relative then entitlement can continue for up to eight weeks.</p><p> </p><p>This approach aligns Pension Credit and Housing Benefit with Universal Credit and provides consistency across these benefits and we have no plans to change this.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 30/01/2017 17:15:21 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
