	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p /> <p>All offenders released from custody on licence are subject to six standard conditions. There are no exceptions. The standard licence conditions include requirements to keep in touch with their supervising officer, to seek permission prior to obtaining employment or moving address, and restrictions on travel outside the UK.</p><p> </p><p>It is also possible for additional conditions or restrictions to be placed upon the licence - for example, to prevent the offender in question from contacting a previous victim, or from visiting certain locations or premises. Any additional condition must be justified as being necessary for the effective management of the offender in question, as well as being proportionate to the risk the offender poses.</p><p> </p><p>The process for requesting and approving any additional conditions is the same for all offenders released on licence, so that the supervising officer may have specific regard to any offender with learning disabilities. If the supervising officer who manages the case considers that additional conditions are necessary and proportionate, they must request these of the Governing Governor of the releasing prison, or the Parole Board, whoever has responsibility for release in that case. The decision on whether to include such conditions rests with that authority.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 05/11/2014 17:35:25 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p /> <p>All those due to be released on licence must have explained to them the conditions of their licence, what they are required to do upon release, and the implications of non-compliance. This is explained by a member of the prison staff prior to release, with the offender asked to sign their licence to confirm that they have understood this. It is explained again following release, by their supervising officer from the probation service responsible for managing their licence. These requirements are set out clearly in Prison Service Instruction 18/2014, and Probation Instruction 11/2014.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Ministry of Justice has produced an ‘easy read’ guide to licences to enable staff to explain the licence conditions to those who have learning disabilities in as clear a way as possible. These documents contain simple text and illustrations to help the understanding of an offender who may otherwise have difficulty comprehending the requirements made of them on release.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 05/11/2014 17:32:28 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>As co-hosts of the London Conference on Afghanistan (LCA), the UK government has agreed the overall invitation list in partnership with the Afghan Government. However, decisions on civil society attendees have been made by Afghanistan civil society themselves (rather than the UK or Afghan Government) through a democratic process in Kabul. At least 45% of these elected, sponsored attendees are Afghan women who are scheduled to contribute fully to the civil society event and its outcomes<em>. </em>The make-up of the official Afghan government delegation is for the Afghans themselves to decide, however we will be encouraging them to ensure that this includes female Afghan representatives.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Northover question first answered 05/11/2014 17:49:18 answering member 2539 label Biography information for Baroness Northover

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>Clause 2 of the Deed of Gift prevents the Maritime Heritage Foundation (MHF) from selling, giving or otherwise disposing of anything transferred under the Deed without the express consent of the Secretary of State for Defence. No sale would be valid in the absence of such agreement and the Ministry of Defence (MOD) would be able to take direct enforcement action either through injunction or action for &quot;delivery up&quot; against a third party in possession of any artefacts requiring their return to the MHF.</p><p>In addition, as the artefacts were transferred to the MHF on trust for the education and benefit of the nation, the MOD, as the donor, could seek cause of action for breach of trust if the Deed of Gift was found to be broken.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 05/11/2014 17:32:13 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
