question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they hold data on the family circumstances of babies born to low income families in the UK; if so, which department holds those data; and how many babies were born to low income families that had (1) parents in a couple relationship, and (2) a single parent, in the last five years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Baroness Eaton
uin	HL1592
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>Information on the number of children born into families in low income is not available for any period.</p><p> </p><p>This is because the main sources of income data only capture a household's situation once a year. Therefore we do not record the income of the family on the day the child is born. The sample size for households with very young children will be small and it may also be the case that the response rate from families with very young children will be lower than usual and therefore may not be representative.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 19/09/2017 15:31:52 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have made for the UK to leave the EU in March 2019 in the event that the European Council or the European Parliament does not ratify any agreement reached between the UK and the European Commission concerning the UK’s departure from the EU.
tabling member printed	Lord Stoddart of Swindon
uin	HL1586
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>A future partnership between the UK and EU is in the interests of both sides, and we have entered into the negotiations anticipating success. However, since the result of the referendum, we have taken the responsible approach to work at pace to build a detailed understanding of how withdrawing from the EU will affect policies and services for a range of outcomes, including the unlikely scenario in which no mutually satisfactory agreement can be reached.</p><p>Given the long lead-in times to implement some of our contingency measures, we need to begin now for them to remain viable. But implementing the first stages of contingency plans now should not be interpreted as an expectation that talks with the EU will not be successful, and we are clear that securing a good deal for both sides is by far and away the highest probability, but we have a duty to plan for the alternative. These are the actions of a responsible government determined to ensure a smooth exit under any eventuality.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/09/2017 14:17:20 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
