answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2016 answer text <p>We included the cases of nine Tibetans detained by the Chinese authorities on a list of cases submitted to the Chinese delegation ahead of the 2015 UK-China Human Rights Dialogue. These included Tenzin Delek Rinpoche and Dhondup Wangchen. In 2014, we included the names of 16 Tibetan individuals on our case list. Three cases, including Tenzin Delek Rinpoche, appeared on both case lists. The UK-China Human Rights Dialogue is a platform for detailed, expert exchanges on human rights issues. We do not make our full case lists public as in some cases the individuals concerned do not want us to. We do not publish Chinese responses to cases raised as we assess this will be counter-productive. We continue to make our concerns about the human rights situation in China, including Tibet, known publicly via other means, such as in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s Annual Report on Human Rights and Democracy.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 28/04/2016 13:59:45 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2016 answer text <p>Fostering income is already subject to a specific tax relief system consisting of a fixed annual threshold of £10,000 per fostering household and a weekly threshold based on the number of children in placement and their age. More information is available on GOV.UK: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/foster-carers/help-with-the-cost-of-fostering" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/foster-carers/help-with-the-cost-of-fostering</a></p><p>Foster carers can access working tax credit, where they meet the eligibility criteria, as fostering is treated as work for these purposes.</p><p>Under the benefits system, fostering income (allowances and fees) is fully disregarded for the purposes of calculating entitlement to welfare benefits. For the purposes of calculating income-related benefits, foster children are not included in the benefit assessment.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 12/04/2016 10:04:23 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
