answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p /> <p>Civil legal aid is available to help victims of human trafficking in relation to applications for leave to enter or remain in the UK, and also for claims for damages or under employment law brought by victims of human trafficking arising in connection with their exploitation. These services are set out in paragraph 32 of Schedule 1 to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. Victims of human trafficking are also able to apply for any other civil legal aid service for which they are eligible.</p><p> </p><p>The Legal Aid Agency does not routinely collect information on the circumstances of applicants for legal aid, except where this is directly relevant to the application. This includes whether or not applicants are victims of human trafficking, which was not relevant to any legal aid applications before the introduction of LASPO or for services other than those described under paragraph 32 of Schedule 1 to LASPO since. Data is being collected on services provided under paragraph 32, but due to the length of time it takes for cases to conclude, we do not have a clear picture of funding since implementation of LASPO. As a result, it is not possible accurately to estimate the total cost of enabling victims of human trafficking to access legal aid for the period requested.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 24/11/2014 16:59:04 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara

uin	215224
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2014 answer text <p>The FCO estimates spend of approximately £106,000 since the beginning of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. This figure forms a part of the £230 million committed by the UK Government to tackle Ebola, which includes support for 700 Ebola treatment beds in Sierra Leone, tripling current capacity. A significant area of FCO expenditure has been providing additional resilience to our Missions in the affected countries. This has helped ensure the UK is at the forefront of the international effort to tackle Ebola. A further element of spend was the UK hosted London Conference on Defeating Ebola on 2 October. The conference brought together more than 20 governments, a dozen charities and NGOs, the UN, World Bank, health experts and the private sector to pledge funds, equipment and health workers. The conference secured new pledges for Sierra Leone of over £100m and hundreds of staff for the Ebola response.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 24/11/2014 16:08:44 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge
