answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2017 answer text <p>DWP analysis suggests that at any one time around 50,000 people, 40,000 of whom are women, have multiple jobs with earnings in each job below the Lower Earnings Limit (LEL) (£113 per week in 2017/18), although their combined earnings exceed that limit. The LEL is the threshold for treating contributions as having been paid for the purpose of determining contributory benefit entitlement.</p><p> </p><p>This analysis also estimates that of the women in this group, around 30 per cent are getting a childcare credit for their State Pension. Others in this group may be receiving credits through another route or be paying voluntary national insurance contributions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 16/11/2017 16:47:56 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2016 answer text <p>Following discussions last year between the Leader of the House of Lords and the then Chairman of the Liaison Committee, data on response times is now collected and made available by the House of Lords Committee Office. The Liaison Committee's annual reports set out which Select Committee reports required Government responses and when those responses were sent. The figures for 2015-16 are included in the Committee's report, <em>Investigative Select Committee Activity in Session 2015-16 </em>(1st Report of Session 2016-17). The figures for this session will be published in due course. The Government values the work of Select Committees and will always aim to respond to reports within two months. However, it will often be the case that formulating responses require discussions across a range of departments and stakeholders, which means that in some cases they can take longer.</p> answering member printed Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen grouped question UIN HL2883 question first answered 08/11/2016 16:37:04 answering member 4330 label Biography information for Baroness Chisholm of Owlpen

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 8 June (HL179), whether they will continue to deport North Korean asylum seekers to South Korea, as detailed in the United Kingdom-South Korea Readmission Agreement; and whether North Korean asylum seekers can claim asylum in the United Kingdom if they co-operate with the South Korean Embassy in London to establish that they do not seek South Korean citizenship.

uin	HL2882
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2015 answer text <p>All asylum claims made by those from North Korea are carefully considered on their individual merits. A factor in that consideration will be whether the person is unable to exercise their right to South Korea citizenship and avail themselves of the protection of South Korea. Those found to be in need of international protection are provided with it. Those who have been found by the Home Office and the appeals process not to be in need of international protection and have no legal basis of stay in the UK are expected to leave. If they do not do so voluntarily they may have their removal enforced including where relevant under the terms of the United Kingdom-South Korea Readmission Agreement.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 06/11/2015 14:23:32 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government to which rebel groups in Syria they have offered financial or military assistance; and by which groups such assistance has been accepted.

uin	HL2882
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text The UK supports a range of moderates in Syria who oppose both the Assad regime and extremism. We do not provide support to extremist groups, and the need to prevent diversion to these groups is built into our programmes. In August 2013 we gave the Supreme Military Council (SMC) of the Free Syrian Army escape hoods, detector paper and nerve-agent pre-treatment tablets to protect them from chemical weapons attack. This financial year the UK will be providing £1 million of non-lethal equipment to the moderate armed opposition. The exact equipment will depend on the requirements of the recipients, but could include commercially available communications equipment, commercially available vehicles, fuel, portable generators and logistics supplies such as clothing, rations and tents; and individual medical kits. The UK Government also expects to make a significant contribution to the recently announced US-led programme to train and equip the Syrian moderate armed opposition. Details of how that contribution will be delivered are currently being scoped. We also provide support to the political umbrella group the National Coalition. This includes advisory and strategic communications support. The UK does not supply weapons to anybody in Syria. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 27/11/2014 14:50:33 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
