answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>The system of right to rent checks which we introduced through the Immigration Act 2014 enables a landlord to delegate the responsibility for conducting a check on a tenant’s status to a lettings agent, together with any associated liability for a penalty. Where a tenant sublets the accommodation to another person, the legislation provides that the tenant is responsible for conducting a right to rent check, and liable for any penalty for not doing so, unless it has been agreed by both parties that the check will be performed by the landlord or an agent. Full guidance for lettings agents on how to carry out checks is available online (<a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/publications/right-to-rent-landlords-code-of-practice" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/publications/right-to-rent-landlords-code-of-practice</a>), and through a free telephone helpline.</p><p>The first phase of the scheme is in operation in Birmingham, Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton and is currently being evaluated before it is extended to the rest of the country.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 15/06/2015 13:50:54 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

We are reforming the police bail process in the Policing and Criminal Justice Bill and are clear that the decision to impose bail should take careful account of the seriousness of the offence and the risk posed by the individual. These considerations apply to cases of rape, indecent assault and sexual offences against children as they would to any other serious offence committed against a child.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/06/2015 13:40:04 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
