answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2023 answer text <p>Our priority is to ensure everyone receives the financial support to which they are entitled. Where errors do occur, we are committed to fixing them as quickly as possible.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Work and Pensions became aware of issues with State Pension underpayments in 2020 and took immediate action to investigate the extent of the problem, which dates back many years across successive Governments. The DWP formally commenced a Legal Entitlements and Administrative Practices (LEAP) exercise on 11 January 2021.</p><p>Over 1,300 staff have been recruited or redeployed to the ongoing State Pension underpayment LEAP exercise. Delivery is backloaded and case reviews have significantly increased since November 2022. The latest data shows we have reviewed an average of over 30,000 cases per month between November 2022 and March 2023, compared to an average of 5,000 per month over the first 22 months of the exercise.</p><p>Based on our current trajectory, the Department expects to complete the exercise for Category BL and Category D cases by the end of 2023. For missed conversion cases, the exercise could run through to late 2024.</p><p>Other State Pension underpayment errors were identified through DWP’s fraud and error sampling which related to historic non-recording of Home Responsibilities Protection (HRP) on a claimant’s National Insurance record.</p><p> </p><p>In September, HMRC will begin contacting people potentially affected by missing HRP. This will be supported by a communications campaign to increase public awareness and encourage people to see if they are affected. DWP will then revise the State Pension awards of people who may have been affected. We will also shortly be launching a new online tool to help people check whether they need to claim.</p> answering member constituency Sevenoaks answering member printed Laura Trott question first answered 21/07/2023 08:39:38 answering member 4780 label Biography information for Laura Trott

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2023 answer text <p>Last month the Bishop of Truro, the Rt Revd Philip Mounstephen, welcomed the UN Security Council’s adoption of a joint UK / UAE Government resolution highlighting threats to Freedom of Religion or Belief. The steps taken by the UK Government followed a review authored by the Bishop at the invitation of the then Foreign Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, the implementation of which has since become Government Policy. In a vote, the Security Council adopted the proposal, which will see the UN Secretary General produce an oral report on Freedom of Religion or Belief related threats to international peace and security. The initial deadline is 14th June 2024, with the intention of such a statement becoming an annual event.</p><p>Religious persecution and freedom of religion were on the agenda at the gathering of the global Anglican Communion at the Lambeth Conference in 2022. At the Conference a range of ‘calls’, or priorities for the Church worldwide, were made to tackle these issues. The documents relating to Freedom of Religion and religious persecution can be found under the Inter-Faith, Christian Unity and Human Dignity sections, here: <a href="https://www.lambethconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/The-Lambeth-Calls-English-2023.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.lambethconference.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/The-Lambeth-Calls-English-2023.pdf</a></p><p>The Church of England remains closely involved with the work of the FCDO in supporting the work of His Majesty’s Ambassadors and diplomats and the International Panel of Parliamentarians for Freedom of Religion or Belief.
