answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/04/2023 answer text <p>The safety and wellbeing of those in our care is our primary concern. We have robust safeguarding procedures in place to ensure all unaccompanied asylum-seeking children (UASC) in emergency interim hotels are safe and supported whilst we seek urgent placements with a local authority. Young people are supported by team leaders and support workers who are on site 24 hours a day. Further care is provided in hotels by teams of specialist social workers and nurses.</p><p>We have no power to detain UASC in hotels and we know some do go missing. Many of those who have gone missing are subsequently traced and located. Children’s movements in and out of hotels are monitored and recorded and they are accompanied by support workers when attending organised activities and social excursions off-site, or where specific vulnerabilities are identified.</p><p>There are many reasons why children go missing from care. This is also true of unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. It would be wrong to make generalisations regarding the reasons for this.</p> answering member printed Lord Murray of Blidworth question first answered 14/04/2023 10:16:42 answering member 4950 label Biography information for Lord Murray of Blidworth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2022 answer text <p>The Home Office conducted a consultation from 17 May – 10 September 2021 to assess the current statutory fees and whether new levels of charges should be applied to the removal, storage and disposal of vehicles in England and Wales. These charges apply where the police, under various acts of road traffic legislation, have cause to remove or recover a vehicle illegally, dangerously or obstructively parked, broken down or abandoned. This also includes the removal of vehicles being driven anti-socially or without insurance or driving licence and if they are being used in unlawful trespass.</p><p>We have now reviewed the statutory fees and are finalising arrangements to publish the Government Response to this consultation shortly.</p><p>No assessment has been made of the proportion of the statutory charging fee that is received by the recovery operator rather than the management companies.</p><p>The operation of recovery schemes and contracts used by the police and National Highways for vehicle recovery operations are matters between the police and individual recovery operators. The Government’s role is limited to setting the statutory charges which the Police and National Highways can levy when they have exercised their recovery powers.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 29/03/2022 15:36:46 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
