answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>My Department have no plans to introduce paternity allowance for self-employed fathers.</p><p> </p><p>Statutory Maternity Pay (SMP) and Maternity Allowance (MA) are paid to women to replace earnings to help them take time off work before and after their baby is born, in the interests of their health and wellbeing.</p><p> </p><p>Statutory family related leave entitlements focus on employees as they have less flexibility and autonomy over the work they do and when they take time off work.</p><p> </p><p>The Government agrees with the principle of equalising parental benefits for the employed and self-employed. But as set out in the Government Response to the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, it is right to only consider making changes to this area once we have carefully considered this in the wider context of tax, benefits and rights over the longer term.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 22/10/2018 11:37:05 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to review the licensing or availability of co-proxamol.</p><p>Co-proxamol is a combination of paracetamol and dextropropoxyphene which was licensed for the treatment of pain.</p><p>In 2004, the safety of co-proxamol was reviewed and it was concluded that the benefits of co-proxamol did not outweigh the risks of accidental overdose and death and that co-proxamol should be withdrawn from the market. All licences in the United Kingdom were cancelled by the end of 2007.</p><p>This was communicated to healthcare professionals in January 2005 with reminders in 2007 and 2011. Where possible existing patients were to be switched to alternative pain medication and no new patients should have been prescribed co-proxamol. It remains the case that co-proxamol is an item that should not be routinely dispensed in primary care following NHS England guidance.</p><p>As an unlicensed medicine, co-proxamol can be prescribed on a named patient basis if it is judged to be the most appropriate treatment by the prescribing doctor.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 22/10/2018 16:50:13 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions there have been under the Sexual Offences Act 2003 in relation to arrangements where sex has been requested in return for accommodation in the City of Bristol.

uin	180285
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/10/2018 answer text <p>It is not possible to identify from centrally held data the number of offenders convicted for arrangements where sex had been requested in return for accommodation in Bristol under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, as this particular offence cannot be disaggregated from the broader offence of ‘sexual offences’. Additionally, any data held at a court level refers to where the defendant was dealt with rather than where the offence was committed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 22/10/2018 16:52:09 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
