Spring Budget 2017 announced a £435m package to support businesses facing the steepest increases in business rates bills following the revaluation, which included a £1,000 business rates discount for pubs with a rateable value of up to £100,000 for 1 year from April 2017.<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, pubs could benefit from the £110m support for small businesses and £300m for local authorities to support individual hard cases in their local area.

Promoting good maternal and perinatal mental health is a key priority for this Government, as set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is investing £365 million between 2015/16 to 2020/21 in perinatal mental health services, and NHS England is leading a transformation programme to ensure that by 2020/21 at least 30,000 more women each year are able to access evidence-based specialist mental health care during the perinatal period.<\/p>

<\/p>

A key element of the transformation programme is to increase awareness and skills across the workforce, supporting better identification of perinatal mental illness, early intervention and consequently improved recovery rates.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4065", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thurrock"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jackie Doyle-Price"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-10-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-10-09T12:45:51.37Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Mental Health Services: Mothers"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to ensure that new mothers' mental health problems are identified as early as possible.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "105059"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/760269", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/760269/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

MoJ does not analyse cost by prisoner nationality at an individual prisoner level, as costs recorded on the central accounting systems do not allow identification of costs attributable to holding individual offenders.<\/p>

Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS), does not calculate separately the annual cost of prisoners who are held in remand awaiting trial or by type of offence. Additionally, the information recorded on the HMPPS central accounting system does not allow the identification of costs attributable to holding individual offenders.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, HMPPS, routinely publishes average costs per prisoner, costs per prison place and overall prison unit costs for each private and public sector prison in England and Wales. This information is produced on an annual basis and is published after the end of each financial year. The information can be accessed in the Prison and Probation Performance Statistics pages for each relevant financial year here - https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/prison-and-probation-trusts-performance-statistics<\/a>. Prison unit costs can be found within the Excel document Costs per prison place and cost per prisoner by individual prison establishment<\/em> in the \u2018Cost by Establishment\u2019 tab.<\/p>

The most recent published figures for financial year 2016-17 can be accessed on the www.gov.uk<\/a> website from the following link:<\/p>

Trustees and providers of defined contribution (DC) pension schemes are required to issue annual statements to members which must include the current value of the pension pot, the amount contributed in the previous year and a projected estimate of what pension income the pot may buy at retirement. We have no plans to require employers to issue such statements.<\/p>

<\/p>

Employers who sponsor defined benefit (DB) pension schemes are not required to issue annual pension statements, although some sponsors do. However if a statement is requested by a member sponsors of DB schemes are required to issue one within two months.<\/p>

<\/p>

As defined benefit (DB) pensions normally promise a specific income in relation to salary and length of service, there are minimal annual fluctuations in entitlement.
