question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the rise in hate crimes recorded by the police in England and Wales in the last five years, and the implications for community cohesion of such a rise; and what steps they will take to counter this trend.
tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
uin	HL11673
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>Police recorded hate crime has more than doubled over the period 2012/13 to 2017/18. This increase is thought to be driven largely by general improvements by the police in how they record crime, as well as better identification of hate crimes, willingness of victims to come forward, and a genuine increase in these offences around certain events. Better recording is an important part of how to tackle hate crime and support victims.</p><p>The independent Crime Survey of England and Wales meanwhile shows a welcomed downward trend in the actual incidence of hate crime. Latest data shows a 40% reduction between the combined 2007/08 to 2008/09 and combined 2015/16 to 2017/18 surveys.</p><p>However, this Government recognises that there is no room for complacency given the impact of hate crimes on victims, their families and wider communities. The Hate Crime Action Plan refresh published in October 2018 sets out a comprehensive plan for tackling the issue. This includes work under 5 key themes: preventing hate crime by challenging beliefs and attitudes; responding to hate crime within our communities; increasing the reporting of hate crime; improving support for victims of hate crime; and building our understanding of hate crime.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/12/2018 17:24:00 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL11700
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>A “durable relationship, duly attested” for the purposes of Article 10(4) of the draft Withdrawal Agreement reflects the provision made by Article 3(2)(b) of the Free Movement Directive (Directive 2004/38/EC). Its definition is reflected in that of “durable partner” in Appendix EU to the Immigration Rules for the EU Settlement Scheme, under which resident EU citizens and their family members will be able to obtain UK immigration status in line with the agreement.</p><p>This requires that the couple have lived together in a relationship akin to a marriage or civil partnership for at least two years (unless there is other significant evidence of the durable relationship), and that the applicant provides the requisite documentary evidence of this.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/12/2018 17:22:20 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the compliance with human rights legislation of the requirement in article 10(5) of the draft agreement on the withdrawal of the UK from the EU for a host state to undertake "an extensive examination of the personal circumstances" of a person who has applied for residence.
tabling member printed	Lord Wigley
uin	HL11701
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>The requirement in Article 10(5) of the draft Withdrawal Agreement with the European Union to undertake “an extensive examination of the personal circumstances” applies to extended family members of EU citizens who have applied for residence in the UK. It is based on an identical requirement in Article 3(2) of the Free Movement Directive (2004/38/EC).</p><p>As this requirement is taken directly from existing EU law, we consider it to be compliant with the UK’s human rights obligations as set out in the European Convention on Human Rights and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, which apply in all EU Member States.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 05/12/2018 17:49:32 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
