	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice’s annual collection of data from coroners does not include the number of adjourned investigations which are resumed after a murder trial. The number of such cases will be low, however, because the coroner has to have sufficient reason for resuming the investigation and a criminal trial will often cover the statutory questions which the coroner is required to address.</p><p> </p><p>The Ministry’s data collection does include the number of cases <em>not</em> resumed after an adjournment, broken down by sub-groups including murder. The table below shows the number of adjourned murder inquests which coroners decided not to resume from 2013 to 2017.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Murder Inquests Adjourned and Not Resumed</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013</p></td><td><p>333</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014</p></td><td><p>296</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015</p></td><td><p>287</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016</p></td><td><p>262</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017</p></td><td><p>326</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Coroners Statistics 2017, MoJ publication</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 11/04/2019 16:26:57 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>Of the 7,318 referrals to the Prevent programme in 2017/18, 1,312 (18%) related to Right Wing Extremism. Police data shows that five (0.4%) of those 1,312 referrals were made by the military.</p><p>This figure does not necessarily capture all military veterans referred to Prevent, since these may originate from others who may not know and individual’s employment history, including military service. The MOD issued a new Prevent policy in March 2019 and police, MOD and the Home Office are working closely together to ensure that appropriate support is offered to individuals vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism, including veterans and other individuals with links to the military.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 11/04/2019 13:48:16 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>I am clear that public, private and voluntary sector providers all have an important role to play in probation. In developing arrangements for the future of probation after current contracts for Community Rehabilitation Companies expire, we are reflecting carefully on the balance of public, private and voluntary sector in delivering probation services. This includes ensuring we harness the dedication and commitment of the voluntary sector to rehabilitate offenders and reduce reoffending. We will set out more detailed plans shortly.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/04/2019 13:54:02 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>In England and Wales, the Code of Practice for Victims of Crime (Victims’ Code) outlines the services victims are entitled to receive, including updates on the progress of their case during an investigation or prosecution. Bereaved families in homicide cases and victims of the most serious offences will receive information within 1 working day of key developments, such as when a suspect is arrested or released without charge. Victims will also be informed how often they will receive updates on the status of the case following discussion with the police.</p><p> </p><p>In the first cross-government Victims Strategy, published in September 2018, the Government committed to amend the Victims’ Code and we intend to consult on the changes shortly. We also committed in the strategy to hold agencies to account for compliance with the Victims’ Code through improved reporting, monitoring and transparency on whether victims are receiving entitlements.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 11/04/2019 15:34:44 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>In criminal courts, victims of crime that have been called as a witness are entitled to enter a court through a different entrance from the suspect and to sit in a separate waiting area. Other witnesses may also seek special measures to use a separate entrance and waiting area. In family courts, vulnerable parties and witnesses may also request the use of a separate entrance and waiting area. Where dedicated separate entrances or waiting areas are not available, court staff will make alternative arrangements wherever possible.</p><p> </p><p>As detailed in the Victims Strategy, improving the court environment for victims is a key commitment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 11/04/2019 16:23:56 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

	uin	241071
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Justice does not hold data relating to whether individual cases were taken out on a vexatious basis, as there is no statutory definition for this. In addition, data relating to domestic abuse cases handled by the family courts does not identify whether the applicant has previously been a perpetrator of domestic abuse.</p><p> </p><p>However, it is unacceptable for someone to use court processes to harass or abuse a former partner. The family court has wide powers to manage such situations, including striking out an action it views as an abuse of process, and the power to prevent a person from making further applications without prior permission of the court.</p><p> </p><p>This Government is committed to transforming the response to domestic abuse, and the recently published draft Domestic Abuse Bill and consultation response set out our ambitions in this area. We want to ensure that victims have the confidence to come forward and report their experience, safe in the knowledge that the justice system and other agencies will do everything they can both to protect and support them and their children and pursue their abuser.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 12/04/2019 14:09:07 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart previous answer version 113673 answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
