tabling member printed	Lord Marlesford
uin	HL2609
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2017 answer text <p>Approximately 850 UK linked individuals of national security concern have travelled to engage with the Syrian conflict. We estimate that just under half have returned and approximately 15% are now dead. This number includes all those of national security concern, not just those affiliated with Daesh. Everyone who returns from taking part in the conflict in Syria or Iraq must expect to be investigated by the police to determine if they have committed criminal offences, and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to our national security. In addition to seeking prosecution of terrorism suspects we use a range of tools at our disposal to manage the threat posed - including using the Royal Prerogative to withdraw British passport facilities, travel restrictions as part of imposing TPIMs on an individual, exclusion from the UK and deprivation of British citizenship where appropriate and using Schedule 1 to the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 to seize and temporarily retain travel documents.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 06/11/2017 17:59:51 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Baroness Greengross
uin	HL2609
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2015 answer text <p>Helping disabled people to live independently in their own homes for longer through adaptations remains a key priority for this Government. The Government will have invested just over a billion pounds into the Disabled Facilities Grant between 2011-12 and 2015-16. This has delivered around 200,000 adaptations to the homes of disabled people. The Disabled Facilities Grant is a non-ringfenced capital grant paid via the Better Care Fund to local housing authorities. Better Care Fund commissioners are required to confirm they have passed the Disabled Facilities Grant funding on to local housing authorities in their quarterly returns to NHS England. This enables local housing authorities to continue to meet their statutory duty to provide adaptations to the homes of those disabled people who qualify.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 21/10/2015 15:13:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
