answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>All information relating to convictions for recordable offences is retained on the Police National Computer (PNC). It is the Chief Constable's responsibility, as the data owner in law, to ensure that any data recorded on the <br>PNC is accurate. <br><br>When a person is recorded on the PNC it is done so in the name they provided to the police at the time of the event. That name lasts for the lifetime of the record and aliases are recorded as and when known and records are consolidated <br>where appropriate. <br><br>When a person is arrested their fingerprints may be taken, as well as a DNA sample. The fingerprints are checked against the criminal fingerprint system (IDENT 1). The individual’s DNA profile is also checked against the National <br>DNA Database (NDNAD). Where either of these biometric searches matches with the offender, the PNC records in relation to the previous results are automatically linked with the current arrest, regardless of the names previously used.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hornsey and Wood Green answering member printed Lynne Featherstone question first answered 15/12/2014 16:05:59 answering member 1531 label Biography information for Baroness Featherstone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The government recognises the concerns of the Jewish community in relation to the threat from terrorism, particularly given the attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels in May this year and the recent attack at a synagogue in <br>Jerusalem. The threat level from international terrorism to the UK has been raised to SEVERE. This is related to the developments in Syria and Iraq where groups are planning an attack in the UK, rather than threats to specific <br>communities. <br><br>Key community contacts have been briefed by senior police leaders, neighbourhood policing teams and local Counter Terrorism Focus Desk officers, who are seeking to reassure communities that may feel vulnerable. <br>Specialist protective security advice has also been provided to faith-based locations of worship, including Synagogues, and reassurance has been given to those at other sites who may feel vulnerable.<br><br>The Police are working in partnership with the Community Security Trust (CST) and other community members to coordinate security arrangements around synagogues and other vulnerable locations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 15/12/2014 12:21:53 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

uin	HL3060
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2014 answer text <p>The Terms of Reference for the Independent Panel Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse have been published and the geographic scope is limited to England and Wales. The protection of children is a devolved matter, and it would be inappropriate for the inquiry panel to make recommendations for Northern Ireland concerning the running of the child protection system there.</p><p>However, as the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland set out in her statement to Parliament on 21 October, the Government is determined that no stone should be left unturned to investigate serious allegations of institutional failure. She has also made clear that the Government, Ministry of Defence and the Security Services will give the Inquiry the fullest possible co-operation. We currently believe that the Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry is the best place to do that in respect of Kincora and we will work closely with, the Chairman of the Inquiry, Sir Anthony Hart to help to achieve that.</p><p>We will monitor carefully the extent to which the Inquiry is able to make progress in respect of material relevant to Kincora and we will look at the situation again if the Inquiry tells us it is unable to determine the facts.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 11/12/2014 14:40:53 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
