	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2014 answer text <p>It is difficult to draw causality between the Licensing Act 2003 and changing behaviours. The Licensing Act 2003 came into force in November 2005. Data on offences which are ‘alcohol related’ are drawn from the Crime Survey of England and Wales, which asks victims of violent incidents whether they perceived the offender to be under the influence of alcohol at the time of the offence. By this measure, the number of violent incidents considered to be‘alcohol related’ has fallen from around 1.02 million incidents in 2005/06, to around 0.88 million incidents in 2012/13 (a fall of 14%). <br><br>The definition of binge drinking used by the NHS is drinking more than double the lower risk guidelines for alcohol in one session – more than 8 units for men and 6 units for women. The Opinions and Lifestyle survey, published by the Office of National Statistics provides our best measure for this. The data shows that in 2005, 23% of men and 15% of women drank over twice the lower risk guidelines on at least one day in the week before interview. This fell to 19 % of men and 11 % of women in 2012.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 30/10/2014 11:50:15 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2014 answer text <p>This Government remains absolutely committed to tackling child sexual abuse. We have been appalled by the recent terrible accounts of abuse in Rotherham and the failings that allowed it to continue for so long. In response, the Home Secretary is chairing a series of Secretaries of State meeting, which I also attend, to look at how we learn the lessons here, including how victims of currentand historical child sexual abuse are supported. <br><br>These meetings are building on the work of the Home Office-led National Group to tackle sexual violence against children and young people. This group, which I chair, has overseen the delivery of a range of improvements for victims of child sexual abuse. They include measures to improve the court process forvictims of sexual abuse and exploitation as well as publication of a newVictims’ Code setting out enhanced entitlements for victims of the most serious crimes, including sexual offences, and an enhanced role for agenciesin supporting victims through the criminal justice system. <br><br>This Government has ring-fenced nearly £40 million of funding up to 2015 for specialist local support services and national helplines for victims of sexual abuse and other forms of Violence against Women and Girls. We have committed funding of £1.72 million per year to part fund 87 Independent Sexual Violence Advisors posts which provide independent advocacy to victims of sexual violence, including, in some cases, children. Within this £40 million, Ministry of Justice is providing £4.4million per year until March 2016 to fund 86 rape support centres across England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 30/10/2014 16:09:27 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
