answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2019 answer text <p>The rules allowing for temporary absence abroad apply to Attendance Allowance, Carer’s Allowance, Disability Living Allowance and Personal Independence Payment and were subject to consultation in 2012 (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/dla-reform-and-pip-completing-the-detailed-design" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/dla-reform-and-pip-completing-the-detailed-design</a>). Under that consultation we had originally proposed a temporary absence rule of four weeks. However, respondents to the consultation told us that the time period was too short and would negatively impact on certain people such as:</p><p> </p><ul><li>Full time students studying abroad as part of their degree course</li><li>People volunteering abroad</li><li>Disabled athletes travelling to race meetings/competitions</li><li>Those undertaking summer internships</li><li>Disabled people who require extra time to travel and recuperate</li></ul><p> </p><p>As a consequence of this consultation, and the suggestions received, we amended our proposal so that a period of 13 weeks would be allowed. This period of time was chosen in part to cover term time absences for students and also to allow people a longer period to visit families living abroad where a long journey may be required.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 29/04/2019 12:57:52 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

tabling member constituency	Coventry South
tabling member printed	Mr Jim Cunningham
uin	244014
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2019 answer text <p>The British Government is firmly opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances and in every country, including Iran. This is especially so in cases which do not meet the minimum standards defined by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. We have made clear to Iran, both in public and in private, our opposition to the use of the death penalty and will continue to do so, particularly in relation to the execution of minors and those sentenced to death for crimes committed as minors. The UK is committed to holding Iran to account on a wide range of human rights issues, through contact with the Iranian government, through the UN, and with our European partners. The EU demarched Iran on use of the death penalty most recently in March 2019, and about the case of Zeinab Sekaanvand (under the age of 18 when sentenced) in October 2018. The EU conducts such demarches whenever it becomes aware of cases.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 24/04/2019 14:32:16 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
