Information on the work of the Law Officers\u2019 Departments websites can be found on the Gov.uk website or on their own websites. However, as their work is primarily aimed at providing legal support to the Government or conducting prosecutions on behalf of the Crown, they do not currently provide any specific online services directly to the public.<\/p>

On 6 October 2014 the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) accepted guilty pleas to one count of making an explosive substance, three counts of possessing a prohibited firearm and one count of putting a person in fear of violence by harassment. The pleas were accepted on the basis that if Harry Street\u2019s mental health ever deteriorated to the same extent it had in 1978 he was undoubtedly capable of deploying the weapons.<\/p>

The decision not to proceed with the four remaining counts was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors which provides: \u201cProsecutors should only accept the defendant\u2019s plea if they think the court is able to pass a sentence that matches the seriousness of the offending\u201d. In view of the evidence before the court, it was clear to the CPS that the sentence imposed by the court would be a restricted hospital order under section 37 and section 41 of the Mental Health Act 1983 whether he was convicted of all counts, or those which were accepted as pleas.<\/p>

In making a restricted hospital order, the Learned Judge fully supported the approach taken by the CPS. The court ordered the remaining counts to lie on the file not to proceed without the leave of the court.<\/p>

The decision to accept the guilty pleas on 6 October 2014 was taken following full consultation with the victims/ victims\u2019 families for both the recent offences and the 1978 offences.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-12-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-12-01T15:05:01.247Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "88"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-11-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Harry Street"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Attorney General, for what reasons the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to proceed with some of the charges against Harry Street during hearings in his case at Birmingham Crown Court in October 2014.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1565", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Philip Davies"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Shipley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Philip Davies"} ], "uin" : "215700"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/164305", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/164305/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government commissioned research into gender and apprenticeships and ethnicity and apprenticeships. A report was published in December 2013. Following this a new advisory group has been established to help address barriers and increase diversity within apprenticeships.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In the last two years, projects under the Skills Funding Agency\u2019s Equality and Diversity Good Practice Fund have encouraged people from ethnic minorities to apply for apprenticeships, including Chiltern Training, Awaaz and Heba.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Additionally the \u2018Get In. Go far\u2019 campaign launched in September this year, aims to promote apprenticeships to a wide range of potential applicants and has generated over a million hits on YouTube.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of applications made through the Apprenticeships Vacancies website from ethnic minority candidates increased from 328,110<\/strong> in 2012/13 to 382,520<\/strong> in 2013/14. Full information on the number of apprenticeship applications by ethnicity is published here:<\/p>

There is no threat to the UK\u2019s National Health Service from TTIP. This was confirmed again by the European Commission\u2019s chief negotiator Ignacio Garcia Bercero at a meeting organised to the All Party Parliamentary Group on TTIP this week.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The chief negotiator outlined that EU public services are automatically excluded from all EU trade in service market liberalisation agreements. Publicly funded health services are specifically excluded. Member states decide how to deliver their public services and can change the delivery model at any time. TTIP will not change the fact that it is up to UK Government alone to decide how UK public services, including the NHS, are run.<\/p>

A number of BIS services are available online including transaction services (e.g. filing information and accounts at Companies House), as well as online guidance available on GOV.UK and information on BIS services. BIS also uses digital channels to engage stakeholders in developing policy making.<\/p>

BIS is committed to the vision set out in the Government Digital Strategy, publishing its own digital strategy in 2012. BIS and Partner Organisations have embarked on a digital transformation programme that by 2020 will ensure that all services that can be redesigned as such will be 'digital by default' and available on GOV.UK. They will be redesigned around the needs of users i.e. businesses, students, employees and consumers.<\/p>

As a critical first step, BIS is playing a key role as part of the Government's Digital Exemplar Programme covering organisations with services that have over 100k transactions annually. BIS provides 5 of the 25 exemplar services. These are:<\/p>
