answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Legal aid for personal injury claims including mesothelioma was withdrawn by the last Government in April 2000 as conditional fee agreements (CFAs) were available.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The Government introduced new stalking laws in 2012 which should lead to increased action against the number of stalkers brought to justice. In 2013-14, 743 prosecutions were commenced under the new stalking legislation. This is a significant increase from 2012-13 and shows that the legislation is starting to take effect. There has also been an increase in the number of convictions and numbers sentenced, under the new law, including an increasing number of custodial sentences. We will continue to keep the legislation, including sentencing outcomes, under review. Within the statutory limits set by Parliament, sentencing in individual cases is a matter for the courts.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 21/10/2014 09:21:27 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
