answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2020 answer text <p>The Domestic Abuse Bill, as introduced on 3 March, includes a new statutory duty on tier one local authorities in England to provide support to victims of domestic abuse and their children within safe accommodation. These provisions have been designed in the light of extensive consultation and analysis about how to address the gaps in current provision.</p><p>We fully recognise the vital role played by community-based support services in helping victims of domestic abuse and their children to rebuild their lives. However, until we have undertaken a similar analytical exercise in relation to community-based support services, we believe it would be premature to legislate in this Bill.</p><p>To enable us to better understand the complex landscape for community-based support for all victims, including children, the designate Domestic Abuse Commissioner has agreed to undertake an in-depth exploration of the current community-based support landscape over 2020/21. The Government will then work with the Commissioner to understand the needs identified and develop options on how best to address them.</p><p>The provision of community-based services for victims of domestic abuse and their children in Northern Ireland is a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 25/09/2020 13:49:21 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

tabling member constituency	East Londonderry

uin	92710
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2020 answer text <p>The UK Government works with the United Nations Statistics Division via the UNICEF and WHO Joint Monitoring Programme, an initiative which the UK supports, to assess progress against sanitation and water goals. The Millennium Development Goal target to reduce by half the number of people without access to improved water supply was not met in the sub-Saharan Africa region.</p><p>The Millennium Development Goal targets were superseded by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The sub-Saharan Africa Region is currently not on track to reach the SDG access to water target by the target year of 2030. The most recent evidence on access to safe water suggests that only 61% of people in sub-Saharan Africa had access to at least basic water supply services in 2017. The impact of COVID-19 makes attainment of the global goals harder but also more urgent as access to water is vital to enable people to wash their hands to stop the spread of the virus.</p> answering member constituency Rochford and Southend East answering member printed James Duddridge question first answered 24/09/2020 11:01:10 answering member 1559 label Biography information for Sir James Duddridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2020 answer text <p>The 2018-19 Self-Assessment tax return typically has an online filing deadline of 31 January 2020.</p><p>The value of payments attributed to late filing penalties for people filing late and after the deadline of 31 January 2020:</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Tax Year penalty relates to</p></td><td><p>Penalty payments</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2018-19</p></td><td><p>£18,558,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Note: The figure has been rounded to the nearest thousand. The figure has been produced using an extract of the data provided for analytical purposes, and there may be small differences between this and other HMRC systems including the live SA system (CESA).</p><p> </p><p>This analysis is based on penalties created and payments received to 4 September 2020. It includes penalty payments made during a period of about six months. Further penalties will be issued and paid relating to this tax return.</p><p> </p><p>The figure provided should not be compared with previous figures provided for earlier years. More penalties will be issued and paid relating to all years but further payments to recent years will be relatively higher, so there will be greater changes to recent years. It is not possible to make meaningful comparisons between different years’ figures.</p><p> </p><p>The above figures include payments for the initial £100 late filing penalty. Late Payment penalties have not been included.</p><p> </p><p>These late filing penalties relate to: individuals who filed online after 31 January after the end of the corresponding tax year and at least 3 months after they were issued with a notice to file; individuals who have missed the 31 January deadline and who have not yet filed their SA return for the corresponding tax year; and individuals who did not need to file an SA return for that tax year but received late filing penalties due to late notification.</p><p> </p><p>The figures may include some penalty payments relating to Trust returns as they receive the same penalty code. Penalty payments relating to partnership returns are not included.</p><p> </p><p>Penalties are not used as a means of generating revenue. HMRC charge penalties to encourage taxpayers to meet their tax obligations and to act as a sanction for those who do not, so the majority who do pay correctly and on time are not disadvantaged. Not all taxpayers who fail to submit their return on time will have to pay a penalty. A penalty will not be payable if a taxpayer had a reasonable excuse for not filing their return on time or if they no longer need to file a return.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC recognise that because of the exceptional circumstances presented by COVID-19, some taxpayers will not be able to meet their tax obligations on time, or appeal or review HMRC decisions within the usual time limit. HMRC’s approach has been to collect the tax and penalties due in a way that recognises the challenges that businesses and individuals are facing, and these figures reflect that approach.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 24/09/2020 16:02:26 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
