This did not uncover any of the 114 missing files, though one was found prior to this exercise. As part of their Review, Wanless and Whittam interrogated what was known about each of the 114 files. They published their analysis within their final report, published November 2014.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 24/05/2019 13:38:44 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2019 answer text <p>As set out in the Transport Investment Strategy, rebalancing is a key priority for the Department, and the Government is investing to ensure that its benefits are realised across the country.</p><p>The Department's Rebalancing Toolkit is designed to help authors of Strategic Cases assess how a programme or project fits with the objective of spreading growth across the country. In addition, the Procuring for Growth Balanced Scorecard, which is designed to help ensure that major government procurements have a positive impact on economic growth, forms part of the development of the Commercial Cases for our major projects.</p><p>The Department's major projects also hold extensive supplier engagement programmes and these are often regionally based. For example, HS2 Ltd has engaged with over 5,000 businesses, from every corner of the UK, to promote HS2 supply chain opportunities. They have supported or hosted well over 100 events in the past three years alone, including a roadshow of events in 11 UK cities, including in Belfast.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 25/02/2019 11:39:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government and the regulators have taken steps to avoid or minimise disruption to financial services, including insurance, in a no deal.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has legislated for a temporary permissions regime (TPR) that will allow EEA firms, including insurers, currently passporting into the UK to continue operating in the UK for up to three years after exit, while they apply for full authorisation from UK regulators and complete any necessary restructuring. The statutory instrument that implements the TPR was made law in November 2018.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the Government and the regulators have taken steps to ensure that any EEA contractual obligations with UK customers, including with insurance policyholders, that are not captured by the TPR can continue to be met by legislating for a financial services contracts regime (FSCR). The statutory instrument that implements the FSCR was laid in Parliament in January 2019 and has been approved by both Houses of Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>However, the UK cannot unilaterally determine the conditions for UK firms' future access into the EU. A number of Member States, including Ireland, have announced measures addressing cross-border provision of financial services, including insurance, from the UK into the EU. And the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) issued recommendations to European regulators which seek to minimize the detriment to policyholders with cross-border insurance contracts.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 21/02/2019 12:03:47 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what time limits apply to a claim of compensation arising from an injury on duty.
tabling member constituency	Belfast East
tabling member printed	Gavin Robinson
uin	210654
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2019 answer text <p>Claims for compensation, irrespective of whether they arise from training or from an injury on duty may be brought by way of a common law claim, an Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) claim or a War Pension Scheme (WPS) claim. For a common law claim, a claimant must issue court proceedings within three years of the date of the accident or the date of knowledge of the injury. The AFCS provides compensation for injury, illness or death caused by service in the UK Armed Forces on or after 6 April 2005. The time limit in most cases is seven years. The WPS provides no fault compensation to former personnel and their dependants for injuries and death as a result of service before 6 April 2005. Awards are not paid in service and there are no time limits for claiming. Awards can be reviewed at any time and there is a right of appeal to an independent tribunal.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 210655 question first answered 24/01/2019 16:37:52 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
