answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>We remain very concerned by the Hong Kong authorities’ unprecedented rejection of a visa for senior British journalist Victor Mallet. In the absence of an explanation from the authorities we can only conclude that this move is politically motivated. This undermines Hong Kong’s freedom of speech and freedom of the press, both guaranteed by the Joint Declaration, and the Basic Law, and increases the pressure on the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework. We urge the Hong Kong authorities to reconsider this decision. Confidence in Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms is an essential component of its future success.”</p><p>We have raised Mr Mallet’s case with the Hong Kong authorities. Our most recent assessment of these issues can be found in the latest edition of HMG’s Six Monthly Report, published on 6 September.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 23/10/2018 16:11:28 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2018 answer text <p>Following the 2017 reforms to pre-charge bail, the police are still able to impose pre-charge bail, with appropriate conditions, to protect victims and witnesses in any case where doing so is both necessary and proportionate.</p><p>While the legislation is clear that bail remains available in any case where it is necessary and proportionate, the Home Office is working with partners across the Criminal Justice System to monitor the impacts of the reforms, including to ensure that vulnerable victims and witnesses continue to receive appropriate protection, whether through the use of pre-charge bail conditions or otherwise.</p><p>In order to ensure that bail is used appropriately, the Home Office has commissioned Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary &amp; Fire and Rescue Services (HMICFRS) to review the police’s use of pre-charge bail as part of their annual PEEL effectiveness inspection programme. The use of pre-charge bail continues to feature in HMICFRS’ core assessments and, in November 2018, the Inspectorate will publish a thematic review of how forces are dealing with domestic abuse cases, which will include a focus on the use of bail.</p><p>Pre-charge bail is also a regular agenda item at Chief Constables’ Council, where chiefs have noted that there is significant variation in the use of pre-charge bail between forces and that they should ensure that they are content with the approach taken by their force.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 18/10/2018 17:16:07 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

uin	176312
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>It has been the longstanding policy of successive Governments not to reveal specific details of the budgets or spending of the intelligence agencies. However, in September, the Home Secretary announced an extra £21.5m investment in law enforcement over the next 18 months to reduce the volume of offending and pursue the most hardened and dangerous abusers. The majority of this funding will go to UK law enforcement and intelligence agencies to tackle the most determined and dedicated abusers and includes further funding for a Joint Operations Team (JOT).</p><p>The Joint Operations Team is a jointly managed National Crime Agency (NCA) and GCHQ capability, drawing on the experience and knowledge of the NCA and the high-end capabilities and tradecraft of GCHQ to investigate and disrupt online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.</p><p>Working collaboratively provides a very powerful operating model. The JOT has supported the NCA in bringing offenders such as Dr Matthew Falder - the university lecturer who committed 137 offences – to justice. He was sentenced to 32 years imprisonment following their investigation.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 16/10/2018 15:11:16 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
