answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/08/2024 answer text <p>As soon as the Foreign Secretary came into office, he commissioned new advice on Israel's compliance with International Humanitarian Law, in the context of the war. This is an important and complex process, requiring detailed analysis of evidence, and close co-operation with other Government Departments, and is being undertaken urgently.

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has had recent discussions with the Financial Ombudsman Service on resolving complaints of mis-sold timeshares in a timely manner.
tabling member constituency	Luton North
tabling member printed	Sarah Owen
uin	1808
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2024 answer text <p>The selling of timeshares is outside of Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) regulation and therefore outside of the remit of the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), which can only consider complaints about FCA regulated activities. Where consumers have purchased a timeshare using a product regulated by the FCA, such as consumer credit, they may have recourse to the FOS if that product was mis-sold.</p><p>When complaints are made to the FOS, these should be dealt with in a timely manner. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook, which sets out the rules on how the FOS should handle complaints, states that ‘the ombudsman will attempt to resolve complaints at the earliest possible stage’.  In its Plans and Budget 2024-25, the FOS has set itself the target of resolving 90 per cent of cases within 6 months and the government will continue to hold the FOS to account on this through its regular engagement with the FOS.</p> answering member constituency Hampstead and Highgate answering member printed Tulip Siddiq question first answered 30/07/2024 16:20:42 answering member 4518 label Biography information for Tulip Siddiq

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the proportion of central Government funding spent on supporting people of working age, those aged 18 to 64 years old, with their care needs. NHS England does publish data on net local authority expenditure on adult social care. Of the expenditure on long and short-term care that is disaggregated by age-band, £8.7 billion, or 54%, was spent on working age adults in 2022/23. It is likely that a proportion of the spend in this data that is not specifically age attributed, is also used to support people of working age.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 24/05/2024 08:30:32 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2024 answer text <p>We set out our national strategy for the social care workforce in our People at The Heart of Care white paper in December 2021, and in 2023 we published the associated implementation plan, Next Steps to Putting People at the Heart of Care. We recently announced a series of measures as part of that implementation. This includes the launch of the Care Workforce Pathway, a new national career structure for the adult social care workforce, an investment of over £20 million for apprenticeships, to support the training and supervising of hundreds of new social work and nurse apprentices, and a new digital leadership qualification, to help equip social care leaders and managers with the confidence and capability to drive the use of technology in the delivery of care. We plan to announce further phases of our reforms, particularly related to our reimbursement platform and funding for learning and development, in the summer.</p> answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately question first answered 08/05/2024 10:31:22 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately
