uin	HL6731
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/04/2023 answer text <p>The UK welcomes the report by the UN Special Rapporteur, which provides further confirmation of the extent of the Iranian government's human rights violations. Working alongside international partners, the UK has been at the forefront of ensuring the Iranian regime pays a political and diplomatic price for its brutality. The UK announced seven rounds of human rights sanctions, totalling over 60 Iranian individuals and entities since October 2022.</p><p>The UK has raised human rights both with Iranian representatives in the UK and directly in Tehran. The UK co-sponsored the UN General Assembly resolution on human rights in Iran, supported the creation of a UN Fact Finding Mission on Iran and helped ensure Iran's removal from the UN Commission on the Status of Women. We have raised human rights in both the Human Rights Council and UN Security Council. We take note of the seriousness of the report's findings, and remain committed to continue holding the Iranian regime to account for their actions.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 04/04/2023 15:34:03 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The two main sources of crime statistics are police recorded crime and the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW). The CSEW only provides estimates of the prevalence of crime and different crime types as experienced by victims, which may not always be reported to the police.</p><p>The most up to date figures we have published on rape offences recorded by the police can be found in Appendix table A4 [1], published as part of the Crime in England and Wales; year ending September 2022 [2] . This table provides police recorded rape offences back to 2002. Table 1 shows a subset of table A4 providing the number of rape offences back to the year ending March 2017.</p><p>Our most recent Sexual offences in England and Wales overview: year ending March 2022 [3] publication provides data on the number of rape incidents recorded by the police. These data are provided in Table 12 for the year ending March 2021 and Table 13 for the year ending March 2022 in the associated Sexual offences prevalence and victim characteristics [4] tables.</p><p>Unfortunately, we do not hold data on how these offences are treated by the criminal justice system. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) are primarily responsible for court statistics so will hold information on prosecutions and convictions. They publish statistics [5] each quarter which might be of help to you. You can contact MoJ via email at ESD@justice.gov.uk. It may also be beneficial to contact the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) as they collate information on prosecution by crime type. You can contact them via Enquiries@cps.gov.uk.</p><p>Yours sincerely,</p><p>Professor Sir Ian Diamond</p><p> </p><p>Table 1: Police recorded rape offences, year ending March 2017 to year ending September 2022 England and Wales</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Offence</strong></p></td><td><p>Apr 2016 to Mar 2017</p></td><td><p>Apr 2017 to Mar 2018</p></td><td><p>Apr 2018 to Mar 2019</p></td><td><p>Apr 2019 to Mar 2020</p></td><td><p>Apr 2020 to Mar 2021</p></td><td><p>Apr 2021 to Mar 2022</p></td><td><p>Oct 2020 to Sep 2021</p></td><td><p>Oct 2021 to Sep 2022</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Rape</strong></p></td><td><p>42,063</p></td><td><p>55,004</p></td><td><p>59,921</p></td><td><p>59,104</p></td><td><p>55,652</p></td><td><p>69,905</p></td><td><p>62,866</p></td><td><p>70,633</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Source: Police recorded crime from the Home Office</p><p> </p><p>[1] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/crimeinenglandandwalesappendixtables</p><p>[2] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/crimeinenglandandwales/yearendingseptember2022</p><p>[3] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/bulletins/sexualoffencesinenglandandwalesoverview/march2022</p><p>[4] https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/crimeandjustice/datasets/sexualoffencesprevalenceandvictimcharacteristicsenglandandwales</p><p>[5] https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/criminal-justice-statistics-quarterly</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 05/04/2023 13:00:54 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe attachment 1 file name PQHL6736 (1).pdf title UK Statistics Authority Response

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2023 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) holds no data showing the number of prosecutions for making false allegations of rape. The CPS has strict guidance for charging perverting the court of justice and wasting police time in cases involving allegedly false allegations of rape and/or domestic abuse. The guidance makes clear that prosecutions for these offences will be extremely rare and by their very nature they will be complex and require sensitive handling.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member printed Lord Stewart of Dirleton question first answered 18/04/2023 11:08:13 answering member 4899 label Biography information for Lord Stewart of Dirleton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/04/2023 answer text <p>Our target remains to install 600,000 heat pumps per year by 2028 and we are putting in place an ambitious package of policies to achieve this.</p><p> </p><p>From 2008 up to the end of February 2023, the Microgeneration Certification Scheme Installations Database shows that 184,065 heat pump installations were registered. The number of heat pump installations in the 12 months to the end of February 2023 were 32,234. However, heat pumps installed without Government funding support and those in new buildings are not typically recorded in the database, with industry sources suggesting installations in new homes could make up a significant fraction of overall heat pump deployment.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 05/04/2023 14:45:23 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
