answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/05/2021 answer text <p>CPS Policy on assisted suicide provides guidance to prosecutors on assessing the evidential and public interest stages in the Code for Crown Prosecutors when reaching decisions in cases of encouraging or assisting suicide.</p><p> </p><p>The Policy promotes consistency of decision making and is very clear about the factors which are to be considered both for and against prosecution. It sets out clear guidance about the importance of establishing whether the decision of the person who wants to commit suicide is voluntary, clear, settled, and informed, and whether the decision has been made without any pressure from the suspect.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS publishes information collated from manual records on cases relating to Assisted Suicide. From 1 April 2009 up to 31 January 2021, there have been 167 cases referred to the CPS by the police that have been recorded as assisted suicide. Of these 167 cases:</p><ul><li>110 were not proceeded with by the CPS;</li><li>32 cases were withdrawn by the police;</li><li>eight are currently ongoing cases;</li><li>three cases of encouraging or assisting suicide have resulted in a conviction;</li><li>one case of assisted suicide was charged and acquitted after trial in May 2015; and</li></ul><p>eight cases were referred onwards for prosecution for homicide or other serious crime.</p><p> </p><p>Of the 110 cases not proceeded with by the CPS, manual records indicate:</p><ul><li>29 - did not meet the evidential stage.</li><li>45 - were not in the public interest.</li><li>30 – where information on either the evidential test or the public interest test is not recorded.</li></ul><p> </p><p>A further six cases are recorded with more than one suspect in the same case; these resulted in a mixed outcome where the evidential stage was not met for some suspects and the public interest test was not met for the others.</p><p> </p><p>CPS manual records do not capture specific case circumstances, including those relating to persons with a terminal illness.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS collects data to assist in the effective management of its prosecution functions. The CPS does not collect data that constitutes official statistics as defined in the Statistics and Registration Service Act 2007.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 130 131 question first answered 17/05/2021 16:37:33 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2020 answer text <p>The information requested is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>The government supports the provision of nutritious food in schools. This ensures pupils are well nourished, develop healthy eating habits and can concentrate and learn. Under the benefits-based criteria, around 1.3 million of the most disadvantaged children are eligible for and are claiming free school meals. This saves each family around £400 per year. Benefits-based free meals were extended to disadvantaged further education students in September 2014. This benefitted 82,117 students in the 2017 to 2018 academic year. A further 1.4 million infants receive a free nutritious meal under the Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme, introduced in September 2014.</p><p> </p><p>We are investing up to £26 million to the National Schools Breakfast Programme. This money will kick-start or improve breakfast clubs in over 1,700 schools and target the most disadvantaged areas of the country, including Opportunity Areas. This has been extended by a further year until March 2021 with up to an additional £11.8 million of funding, this investment will help schools kick-start up to a further 650 breakfast clubs.</p><p> </p><p>In 2019 we invested £9 million to set up local Holiday Activity and Food coordinators in 11 local authority areas. Before Christmas we launched a grant fund for another £9 million for 2020. With this money we will be able to support even more disadvantaged children, building on the learning from 2019 to ensure that the programme supports the development of high-quality provision for children and provides more support for parents and families.</p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 08/01/2020 10:45:50 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
