A range of measures already exist to help reduce their anxiety, including giving evidence through live-link to the courtroom from a different room in the court, or away from the court building altogether, and the use of a Registered Intermediary. We doubled the number of Registered Intermediaries at the end of 2015 to increase the number available to help vulnerable and intimidated victims and witnesses give evidence.</p><p> </p><p>We are also rolling out recorded pre-trial cross-examination in the Crown Courts from next year so that vulnerable witnesses do not have to give their evidence at trial. In addition to this, we are requiring publicly-funded advocates in sexual offences cases to undertake specialist training on working with vulnerable victims and witnesses.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Sir Oliver Heald question first answered 10/11/2016 15:31:32 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

This activity is subject to the UK's general taxation regimes such as VAT and Corporation Tax. However it is not possible to say how much revenue these taxes raise from mining companies, as the number of companies involved is below the Government’s threshold for disclosing tax liabilities.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 21/10/2016 11:19:57 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2015 answer text <p>In March the Financial Secretary to the Treasury and I wrote to the Premier of Bermuda asking him to set out plans and a timetable for the implementation of a central register of company beneficial ownership, or similarly effective system, to meet three criteria, including law enforcement access. Bermuda has had a central registry of company and trust beneficiaries since 1939. It includes all shareholdings above 10% compared to the 25% which is the threshold for the UK’s register. The information is updated in real time and is already shared with law enforcement and tax authorities on request. We remain of the view that a public central register is the best approach to improve company transparency.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 09/11/2015 15:02:20 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
