question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sugg on 6 February (HL13059), on how many days since 10 August 2018 have London North Eastern Railway cancelled trains in either direction between Leeds and London in addition to the pre-planned cancellations.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL13497
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>During the period between 13 August 2018 (from whence a small number of Leeds services were removed from the timetable) until 1 February 2019 (Monday to Friday only), LNER operated the full timetable on the Leeds to London (both directions) route on 65 of the 123 days. This means that on the other 58, there was at least 1 cancellation of either a Leeds to London or London to Leeds service.</p><p> </p><p>This represents an improvement in operating the full timetable on that route from 31% (in the previous 21 May to 10 August 2018 period) to 53%.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the overall number of cancellations halved after implementing the timetable with planned cancellations meaning a more robust service offer for passengers. Between May and July 2018 so called TOC-on-Self cancellations (ie those cancellations within LNER’s control versus external factors) across all LNER services were averaging 89 per period, whilst cancellations between August 2018 and February 2019 were reduced to an average of 44 per period. The provision of extra resilience by implementing the pre-planned cancellations is ensuring a more robust and predictable service for passengers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 13/02/2019 17:42:54 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The British Government's view on the importance of the rule of law is clear, consistent and well known in the Philippines. In August 2018, Mr Field raised our concerns with several Philippine Ministers during his trip to Manila.</p><p>In November 2018 a senior official from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office called on the Government of the Philippines to ensure thorough and independent investigations into deaths relating to the war on drugs and deaths of human rights defenders, and to commit to bringing those responsible to justice. The British Embassy in Manila consistently champions democratic values, including the independence of the judiciary and a free parliamentary opposition. Cases of harassment of high profile political opponents are regularly raised with the Government of the Philippines. We have also raised our concerns about media freedom and action taken against the media organisation Rappler. We maintain close contact with human rights groups in the Philippines and the UN on a range of human rights issues.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/02/2019 13:50:32 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>We regularly discuss the issue of Kashmir with the governments of India and Pakistan, including in the last month. The long standing position of the UK is that it is for India and Pakistan to find a lasting political resolution to the situation in Kashmir, taking into account the wishes of the Kashmiri people. We continue to encourage India and Pakistan to keep channels of dialogue open as a means to resolving differences and to build trust and peace along the Line of Control, but the pace and scope must be for them to determine and it is not for the UK to prescribe a solution or to act as a mediator.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/02/2019 13:12:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Newcastle
uin	HL13531
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>Hate crime has no place in our society and no child should live in fear of racism or bullying. Schools must promote our shared values, which include mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs, and they must comply with the requirements of the Equality Act. Schools must also have a behaviour policy which includes measures to prevent bullying.</p><p> </p><p>Recent research commissioned by the Department for Education details common strategies that schools have found to be effective for combating bullying. The department is funding a number of projects to help schools tackle bullying, including hate-related bullying, and recently published the attached ‘Respectful Schools Communities’ toolkit, a self-review and signposting tool to support schools to develop a whole-school approach which promotes respect and discipline.</p><p> </p><p>The department is also taking forward a number of commitments in the government’s attached ‘Hate Crime Action Plan’ to support the sector to tackle and prevent prejudice and hate-related issues, as well as in the attached ‘Integrated Communities Strategy’ to support integration and community cohesion<em>.</em></p><p> </p><p>Vandalism of any kind is unacceptable, and where a school is vandalised, the welfare of pupils and staff is paramount. We are aware of the incident at Bahr Academy. We have liaised with the local authority and stand ready to work with partners and assist the school in any way we can.</p> answering member printed Lord Agnew of Oulton attachment 1 file name HL13531_Respectful_schools_signposting_tool.pdf title HL13531_Respectful_schools_signposting_tool 2 file name HL13531_Integrated_Communities_Strategy_Government_Response.pdf title HL13531_Integrated_Communities_Strategy_Government 3 file name HL13531_Hate_crime_action_plan_2018.pdf title HL13531_Hate_crime_action_plan_2018 question first answered 13/02/2019 17:41:39 answering member 4689 label Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton
