answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2022 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>The recent review of Disclosure found that too much third-party material, including victims counselling and therapy notes, were being accessed. The revised Attorney General’s Disclosure Guidelines published in May 2022 addressed this and introduced increased privacy protections for victims. Prior written reasons must be recorded before accessing this material, and access can only occur where it is necessary and proportionate. Pre-trial therapy notes will now only be accessed in the rare circumstances that they are absolutely necessary to a reasonable line of inquiry. This ensures significant protections for victims while maintaining a fair trial.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 19/12/2022 10:01:06 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson

The protection of civilians and gender equality are central to our security engagement and interventions, including through engagement with the Government in Somalia, and mandating pre-deployment gender equality training for the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia and Somali security forces personnel. The UK also advocates that military planning for security operations against Al-Shabaab should minimise humanitarian impacts and that all security actors should respect International Humanitarian Law, including the protection of civilians. This approach aligns with the recently published UK humanitarian framework.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 21/12/2022 16:44:09 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
