answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Probation Victim Contact Scheme provides valuable support to victims of offenders who receive a sentence of imprisonment of 12 months or more or a hospital order for a violent or sexual offence. The Scheme enables victims to be informed of key stages of an offender's sentence, such as if they are transferred to open prison conditions. Victims will also be informed of the prospective date of release. The point at which this information is provided to a victim varies on a case by case basis.</p><p> </p><p>Where the offender is serving a determinate sentence, the release date is fixed. Victims will be informed of the expected month of release very early following sentence and will be updated should this date change - for example, if the offender receives added days.</p><p> </p><p>Where the offender is subject to discretionary release by the Parole Board, the victim will be informed early in the sentence of the month in which the offender will become eligible for consideration for release, and be informed of the Parole Board's decision, including if this is to release the offender.</p><p> </p><p>Victims also have a statutory right to make representations about licence conditions on release, to re-assure and protect them, and to be informed which conditions have been included on the licence as a result of their request. These will typically be exclusion zones to reduce the risks of unexpected contact, and a no contact condition.</p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/04/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Ministry of Justice does not publish information in relation to the proportion of victims who suffer mental health problems. Last year the Department consulted on a new Code of Practice for Victims of Crime. One of the proposals was that agencies in the Criminal Justice System must provide enhanced services to vulnerable victims, which include those who suffer from mental disorder within the meaning of the Mental Health Act 1983. The new Code, including this requirement, was published last October and came into force in December.</p> answering member constituency Ashford answering member printed Damian Green question first answered 28/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 76 label Biography information for Damian Green

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The responsibility for the oversight of work-based pensions in the UK rests with the Pensions Regulator which was set up under the Pensions Act 2004. Parliament gave the Pensions Regulator operational independence, which means that Ministers are not involved in decisions to exercise its powers or able to intervene in its casework. It would therefore not be appropriate for Ministers to comment on any individual pension scheme. Where it appears that scheme abandonment has taken place, it is a matter for the Regulator to establish whether the legal tests in relation to its ‘anti-avoidance' powers, including the power to issue contribution notices, are met.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Steve Webb question first answered 10/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 220 label Biography information for Steve Webb
