	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>The United Kingdom has some of the strongest protections in the world to safeguard women and girls and the Government is wholly committed to protecting women and girls from violence and supporting victims and survivors. Over the course of the previous Parliament our achievements included:</p><p>• making domestic abuse an offence to capture controlling and coercive behaviour;</p><p>• rolling out Domestic Violence Protection Orders and the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme nationally;</p><p>• criminalising forced marriage;</p><p>• introducing new stalking laws;</p><p>• criminalisation of realistic depictions of rape and revenge pornography;</p><p>• strengthening the law on Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), including mandatory reporting; and</p><p>• introducing new civil orders to manage sex offenders and FGM protection orders.</p><p>This Government will build on those achievements by doing more to intervene earlier in the abuse cycle including doing more to deter and rehabilitate perpetrators, as well as to continue to improve protection for victims and to bring offenders to justice. We recognise the importance of specialist services and will work with local authorities, the NHS and Police and Crime Commissioners to ensure a secure future for specialist Female Genital Mutilation and forced marriage units, refuges and rape support centres. The work will be set out in a refreshed version of the previous Government’s strategy, A Call to End Violence against Women and Girls, which will be published later this year.</p><p>The previous Government ring-fenced £40 million (£10 million per year) for services and helplines supporting women and girls who have suffered abuse. This Government has committed to continuing that funding to April 2016 and has provided an additional funding for this period: £10 million for refuges, a £3 million fund to boost the provision of domestic violence services including refuges and an uplift of £7 million for victims of sexual violence and child sexual abuse.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 12/10/2015 14:25:24 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>The UK does not have any fossil fuel subsidies. The Government sees clear benefits from climate, domestic energy security and budgetary stability perspectives, of phasing out such subsidies internationally. Therefore, where helpful, we will continue to aid the global effort to phase out fossil fuel subsidies. The UK remains a strong supporter of the G20 commitment to rationalise and phase out, over the medium term, inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption. You may also be aware that my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State recently announced that the UK will support the Fossil Fuel Subsidy Reform Communique - which is to be presented at the Climate Change negotiations in Paris later this year - calling for more action on this matter.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 12/10/2015 13:42:49 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
