The Prime Minister announced increased support for families and guaranteed that spend for relationship support would be at least £7.5m for 2015/16 and I can confirm this will be the case.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are in the process of finalising the details of contracting for relationship support services for 2015/16. As well as the continuation of a wide range of existing support services, we will include new provision for providing training and guidance for Health Visitors to recognise and respond to the signs of relationship distress, and the launching of a new pilot to test the inclusion of relationship education in peri-natal classes in 8 areas of the country.<\/p>

<\/p>

In conjunction we will also be offering a 6 month extension to all of the 16 Help and Support for Separated Families Innovation Fund pilots, which focus on helping parents going through separation to resolve conflict and work together in the interests of their children.<\/p>

This support comes alongside the government\u2019s wider commitment to families through the introduction of the Family Test and the Troubled Families programme which aims to turn around the lives of 120,000 of the most troubled families in England by the end of this Parliament.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3893", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Freud"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Freud"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-18T15:35:57.077Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Families"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what steps they are taking to deliver the outcomes of the Family Stability Review including doubling the funding for relationship counselling in 2015\u201316, as announced by the Prime Minister in his speech to the Relationships Alliance on 18 August 2014.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4231", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Tyler of Enfield"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Tyler of Enfield"} ], "uin" : "HL5618"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226834", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/226834/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The information relating to how many National Insurance numbers were created in the last 10 years could only be provided at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

<\/p>

For a National Insurance number to be allocated under the adult allocation process, which mainly affects adults entering the UK from abroad, an individual must be 16 or over, be able to prove their identity and immigration status. For employment related applications individuals must be able to prove that they have a legal right to work in the UK. There are no conditions for tax status.<\/p>

<\/p>

Information and documents provided to support a National Insurance number application are checked and corroborated with Other Government Departments and third parties. The only legislative conditions that DWP will seek to verify are with the Home Office.<\/p>

<\/p>

The allocation of National Insurance numbers under the adult allocation process is processed centrally for Great Britain but Northern Ireland is administered separately by the Department for Social Development Northern Ireland.<\/p>

<\/p>

Upon the death of an individual, DWP receive automatic updates from the three General Register Offices (GRO), England & Wales, Scotland on a daily basis and Northern Ireland on a weekly basis. DWP undertakes a rigorous matching process against the updates received from the GROs to ensure that DWP IT Customer Information System (CIS) records are annotated with the Date of Death within 24 hours of the GRO notification being received.<\/p>

<\/p>

Also when notified of a death DWP staff can input death data, as long as it is supported by appropriate documentation i.e. death certificate, which is updated in real time to the DWP IT Customer Information System.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is not possible to advise how many non-British nationals have UK National Insurance numbers.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3893", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Freud"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Freud"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-03-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL5353"} , {"_value" : "HL5354"} , {"_value" : "HL5355"} , {"_value" : "HL5356"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-03-10T16:20:03.457Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-03-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "National Insurance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government how many National Insurance numbers were (1) created, and (2) deleted due to death, in each of the last 10 years; and what was the total number of valid numbers at the end of each year.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1854", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Marlesford"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Marlesford"} ], "uin" : "HL5352"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "next" : "http://eldaddp.azurewebsites.net/answeredquestions.text?_page=1&min-date=2014-07-21&max-date=2015-03-11&answer.answeringMember.label=Biography+information+for+Lord+Freud", "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 128, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
