answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2024 answer text <p>The NHS Vaccination Strategy outlined the intention to explore whether centralising the procurement and supply of adult flu vaccines could deliver better outcomes and address the existing clinical, operational, and financial challenges associated with local procurement. NHS England, the Department, and the UK Health Security Agency are working in partnership to plan a programme of work to consider this. This will include undertaking a cost-benefit analysis and market engagement with stakeholders. These plans, which include timelines, are still under development and subject to ministerial decision-making, but any potential changes as a result of this exploratory exercise will not be implemented before the 2026/27 financial year.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron grouped question UIN HL903 question first answered 16/09/2024 15:34:23 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people have been killed by someone who has previously been found guilty of homicide, imprisoned, and subsequently released, for the years for which figures are available.
tabling member printed	Lord Tebbit
uin	HL904
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2021 answer text <p>The table below provides the number of people killed by offenders who were at the time on licence for an earlier homicide offence, for which they had served a prison sentence and been released. As they were on licence, when they were charged with a new offence of killing [homicide], it would have generated a formal serious further offence (SFO) notification to HM Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS), and the number in each calendar year reflects the year in which HMPPS received the notification. The answer interprets homicide to include offences of murder, manslaughter, death by dangerous driving and death by careless driving when under the influence of drink or drugs.</p><p> </p><p>Data are not available on offenders with a previous conviction for homicide who had completed their sentence and associated statutory probation supervision by probation and then went on to commit a further homicide.</p><p> </p><p>SFOs are rare. Fewer than 0.5% of offenders under statutory supervision are convicted of serious further offences. Nonetheless every single serious further offence is taken extremely seriously, and in all cases a review is carried out to identify any lessons for the better management of future cases.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year SFO notification received</p></td><td><p>Total number of people killed in a SFO by someone convicted of homicide offences at both index offence and SFO</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>3</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2019<sup>[1]</sup></p></td><td><p>0</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><ol><li>We will publish SFO conviction data for 2019/20 in October 2021, therefore data for 2019 can only be provided for January, February and March.</li><li>Figures are based on conviction data that was produced in September 2020.</li><li>Data are derived from the date of SFO notification to HMPPS</li><li>This figure only includes convictions for serious further offences that have been notified to the national SFO Team, HMPPS.</li><li>The data provided are provisional figures subject to change when any outstanding cases are concluded at court.</li><li>The data also includes cases where the offender committed suicide or died prior to the trial, where a Court has subsequently ruled that they were responsible.</li></ol><p>Data Sources and Quality.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>Government recognises the Retail Sector is changing. We are committed to helping communities adapt and also supporting all parts of the retail sector during this change.</p><p>The industry-led Retail Sector Council provides a single source of strategic liaison between BEIS, on behalf of all relevant government departments, and retailers. All retail activity in the UK, including small independent shops, is represented on the Council.</p><p>The Council aims to accelerate positive change, increase the productivity of the sector, and ensure the sector remains robust and sustainable to continue providing a beneficial service to consumers and the community.</p><p>We have announced a £3.6 billion Towns Fund, including an accelerated £1 billion Future High Streets Fund, which will support local areas in England to renew and reshape town centres and high streets in a way that improves experience, drives growth and ensures future sustainability. We are promoting small independent shops through initiatives such as the Great British High Street Awards, which has been won by Welsh High Streets for the past two years.</p><p>We are also supporting local leadership with a High Streets Task Force, giving high streets and town centres expert advice to adapt and thrive.</p><p>For one year from 1 April 2020, eligible small retailers will benefit from a 50% retail discount off their business rates bills. This is an increase on the one third off bills available through the retail discount scheme in 2019/20. In addition, the Government has doubled the threshold for 100% small business rates relief, meaning more than 675,000 of the smallest businesses, including many independent shops, pay no rates at all.</p> answering member printed Lord Duncan of Springbank question first answered 10/02/2020 11:31:55 answering member 4686 label Biography information for Lord Duncan of Springbank

The FRA is also tasked with promoting fundamental rights within the EU, which it does through the collation, analysis and dissemination of data on fundamental rights across the Member States.

The FRA’s budget for 2017 is 22.7 million euro. While civil service time is spent dealing with FRA reports and activities, time costs are not logged on this basis. A UK official attends National Liaison Officer network meetings at the FRA; travel and accommodation expenses for these meetings are covered by the FRA.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 26/07/2017 13:15:17 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
