answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>On 15 January, the International Criminal Court (ICC) Trial Chamber, by majority acquitted Laurent Gbagbo and Charles Blé Goudé of all charges. These judgments have been reached following an independent and impartial judicial process. Our thoughts are with the victims of violence in Cote d'Ivoire and their families. The UK government firmly believes that those who have perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity should be held fully accountable. The ICC can play an important role in ending impunity for the most serious international crimes. It has our full support in pursuing the mandate it was given under ICC Statute.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 21/01/2019 17:14:30 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government's policy remains to encourage states to comply with their international legal obligations to cooperate with the International Criminal Court (ICC), in particular with respect to the execution of ICC arrest warrants. We pursue this policy through a range of fora, including the Security Council, but note that any action by the Security Council requires the agreement of its permanent members. We do not have an estimate of countries that have failed to comply with the ICC in the case of Omar al-Bashir.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 21/01/2019 14:54:50 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

uin	209375
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>This change means that the same work incentives apply to the younger partner as apply to other people of the same age, and that taxpayer support is directed where it is needed most. The difference between the levels of financial support in Universal Credit as compared to Pension Credit and pension-age Housing Benefit, will depend on individual circumstances. The differences reflect the role of Universal Credit in ensuring that work always pays, and of Pension Credit in providing long-term support to those who have permanently left the labour market because of retirement on top of the support also provided by the State Pension. It is for the same reason that the treatment of earned income in Universal Credit is more generous than in Pension Credit. The younger partner in a mixed-age couple receiving Universal Credit will have access to the tailored support provided by work coaches to help them find work or progress in work. No work-related requirements will be applied to the older partner.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman grouped question UIN 209365 question first answered 21/01/2019 17:04:14 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
