Each magistrate in England and Wales is assigned to a local justice area. I have therefore interpreted the reference to \u2018local authority area\u2019 in the question to mean local justice area.<\/p>

<\/p>

Table 1 provides the number of magistrates in each local justice area along with their gender and ethnic breakdown.<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of magistrates recruited in each local justice area is dictated by the business needs of the magistrates\u2019 courts. Due in part to falling crime levels, the workload of the magistrates\u2019 court has reduced in recent years. Table 2 provides the number of magistrates recruited in each local justice area in the last five years.<\/p>

Decisions on the provision of accommodation for victims of domestic abuse are for local authorities; we expect local authorities to commission services based on the needs of their communities, taking account of locally available data sources.<\/p>

<\/p>

The dynamics of domestic abuse mean that accommodation can play an important role in the resolution of interpersonal abuse and conflict. This is why the homelessness legislation in England provides one of the strongest safety nets in the world for families with children and for vulnerable people who become homeless through no fault of their own.<\/p>

<\/p>

There is a range of support for victims of domestic abuse. Some victims will be accommodated in refuges, but Sanctuary Schemes and mainstream local authority accommodation may be an option for others, while some victims will pursue independent solutions with help and advice from support schemes as necessary.<\/p>

<\/p>

This Government has secured £6.5 billion investment to help vulnerable people through housing related support. This forms a key element of refuge funding through local authority commissioned services. We also fund UKRefugesOnline a UK wide database of domestic violence services which supports the national 24 hour free phone domestic violence helpline. This service enables those working with victims of domestic violence to identify appropriate services and potential refuge vacancies around the country so that victims can get the help they need as quickly as possible.<\/p>

<\/p>

This Government has ring-fenced nearly £40 million of funding for specialist local domestic and sexual violence support services until 2015. This funding is used to part-fund 54 multi-agency risk assessment conference co-ordinators and 144 independent domestic violence advisers. We have piloted and rolled out Clare's Law and domestic violence protection orders; extended the definition of domestic abuse to cover controlling behaviour and teenage relationships; run two successful campaigns to challenge perceptions of abuse; and placed Domestic Homicide Reviews on a statutory footing to make sure lessons are learned from individual tragedies.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are keeping this matter under review, and are keen to support best practice and greater joint working. <\/em><\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4043", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kris Hopkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Keighley"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kris Hopkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "211433"} , {"_value" : "211434"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-28T15:39:30.3295758Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-10-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Refuges"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the number of children living with parents in women's refuges in (a) Huddersfield, (b) Kirklees, (c) Yorkshire and (d) England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/411", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Barry Sheerman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Huddersfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Barry Sheerman"} ], "uin" : "211435"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/100451", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/100451/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Grand Central will not pay the same access charges as Intercity East Coast as Open Access Operators do not pay Fixed Track Access Charges (FTAC). However, both Franchised and Open Access Operators pay Variable Track Access Charges (VTAC) since these are set to reflect the direct \u2018wear and tear\u2019 costs that train services impose on the network when they are run.<\/p>

For Control Period 5 (CP5) the Office of Rail Regulation (ORR) has held the Capacity Charge element of VTAC at CP4 levels for services currently run by existing passenger Open Access Operators, however they will pay CP5 rates for any additional or new services whilst any new entrant Open Access Operator will pay CP4 rates on services below a set threshold and CP5 rates on services above that threshold. <\/ins>Open Access (both passenger and freight) VTAC at CP4 levels, whilst<\/del> Franchised Operators pay the new, higher CP5 rates.<\/del> for both existing and new services.  However, this is the only element of VTAC that is calculated on a different basis.<\/ins><\/p>
