	answer	answer answer text <p /> <p>In responding to this question we have utilised data provided by our contracted supplier of interim staff who fall into the category above. This data is only available for the last 3 years under contract. Where the interim’s contract spans financial years the spend data is reported for the year in which spend was incurred, all figures are based on total charge rate exc VAT:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>Number of Contractors paid £220 or more, with a total contract length of more than 6 months</p></td><td><p>Spend in Financial Year from workers who have had contracts over 6 months in duration</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011-12</p></td><td><p>242</p></td><td><p>£20,814,160</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012-13</p></td><td><p>139</p></td><td><p>£23,792,142</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013-14</p></td><td><p>173</p></td><td><p>£26,152,415</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>There are currently no off-payroll staff from whom assurances about their tax status are outstanding. We have made it absolutely clear to all relevant contractors that they must meet their tax and national insurance obligations. Any senior off-payroll workers who fail to provide assurances about their tax arrangements face having their contracts terminated.</p><p>We only use temporary staff to fulfil essential roles within the Ministry of Justice; these staff provide a fast, flexible and efficient way to obtain necessary skills that are not currently available in-house.</p><p>Spend for this requirement has increased due to the demand of our priority programmes – which will deliver significant savings across the Ministry of Justice’s budget. It should be noted that since April 2010 the annual spend on interims as a whole has decreased by £10m.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p /> <p>Sentencing guidelines are produced independently of Government, by the Sentencing Council. The guidelines are available on the Sentencing Council website. Any decision to review the overarching sentencing guideline on domestic violence is a matter for the Sentencing Council.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The overarching sentencing guideline on domestic violence makes clear that because an offence has been committed in a domestic context there are likely to be aggravating factors present which make it more serious. The guideline sets out in some detail certain aggravating, and mitigating factors, which are of particular relevance to offences committed in a domestic context. All courts must take this guideline into account, and they must also follow sentencing guidelines for individual offences. This makes sure that the courts have a consistent approach to the task of determining the appropriate sentence in each case.</p>
