The Alternative Investments Market (AIM) is owned and operated by the London Stock Exchange. Although under the EU Markets in Financial Instruments Directive AIM is not classified as a Regulated Market, this does not mean that it is not subject to any regulation. Indeed, under the Financial Services & Markets Act 2000, AIM falls within the definition of a Prescribed Market and is therefore subject to the requirements of the rigorous UK domestic market abuse regime. Furthermore, as a UK Recognised Investment Exchange, the London Stock Exchange is subject to the Recognition Requirements Regulations, which includes rules governing how AIM is operated.<\/p>

This information is derived from the final Quarterly Return of Council Taxes and Non-Domestic Rates (QRC4) returns submitted for all 326 billing authorities in England in April and May each year. This information is published in statistical releases available at:<\/p>

https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/council-tax-statistics<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The figures are calculated by subtracting the amount of business rates local authorities collected in the year up until 31 March of the year in question from the amount of business rates that were expected to be collected for the year. It includes prepayments made in advance of the year in question but does not include prepayments made within the year for future years nor does it include the payment of any arrears.<\/p>

<\/p>

Collection of business rates continues once the financial year to which they relate has ended. This means the final amount not collected for the year may be different to the amount shown in the table<\/p>

<\/p>

This shows there is significant scope for councils to generate revenue by improving their collection rates.<\/p>

We believe that foreign national offenders who have no right to remain in the UK should be removed at the earliest opportunity. That's why this Government has toughened the system, including by pursuing compulsory transfer agreements with European countries.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Home Office have removed 22,000 foreign offenders since 2010 and this Government is removing 300 offenders under new 'deport first, appeal later' powers, with another 500 going through the system. We have cut the grounds on which criminals can appeal deportation.<\/p>

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) takes the issues of mobile phones in prison very seriously and is committed to addressing the risks that they present. This is being achieved through a multi-layered approach to: minimise the number of mobile phones entering prisons, find phones that do get in and disrupt mobile phones that cannot be found.<\/p>

<\/p>

It is already an offence to convey into or possess mobile phones or SIM cards within prison. New powers introduced in the Serious Crime Act will allow for unauthorised mobile phones to be de-activated if they are shown to be operating within a prison. NOMS is also investing in a range of new technology to detect phones within prison and block phone signals. Prisons are increasingly able to detect and seize illicit phones.<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of finds in each prison establishment for the calendar years 2010 through to 2014 is shown in the table below. Please note that one find may constitute a mobile phone handset containing one SIM card or media card, a handset only, or a SIM card only.<\/p>

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not tolerate violence of any kind in prison and any assault is treated extremely seriously. A new joint protocol produced by the National Offender Management Service, Crown Prosecution Service and Association of Chief Police Officers was introduced on 27 February 2015. This puts robust and consistent arrangements in place to ensure that where possible, assaults on prison staff will be referred to the police for investigation and will be prosecuted through the courts.<\/p>

The National Offender Management Service (NOMS) does not tolerate violence of any kind in prison and any assault is treated extremely seriously. A new joint protocol produced by the National Offender Management Service, Crown Prosecution Service and Association of Chief Police Officers was introduced on 27 February 2015. This puts robust and consistent arrangements in place to ensure that where possible, assaults on prison staff will be referred to the police for investigation and will be prosecuted through the courts.<\/p>
