We believe it is always legitimate to examine and debate Britain's history, but removing statues is not the right approach.</p><p>The FCO building in King Charles Street dates back to 1868. With such a long history there are elements that reflect artwork and individuals from a very different era.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2020 answer text <p>It is a key principle that all rights to inheritable benefits derived from another person’s contributions, such as Bereavement Support Payment, should be based on the concept of a legal marriage or civil partnership. However, on 7 February the High Court ruled that the higher rate of Bereavement Support Payment (which is paid to those with children) to be incompatible with the ECHR in that it is only payable where the survivor was married to, or in a civil partnership with the deceased. Whilst this ruling does not change the current legislation, we are carefully considering what to do in response to this judgement.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 24/06/2020 13:19:20 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
