answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2017 answer text <p>I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave to question UIN <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2017-07-17/HL893/" target="_blank">HL893</a> that states that the government has not made an estimate of the social and economic consequences of restricting zero hours contracts to students and pensioners.</p><p> </p><p>The government has not assessed the social and economic consequences of restricting zero hours contracts to students and pensioners. The Matthew Taylor review found that zero hours contracts have a part to play in a modern, flexible labour market and benefit those who cannot or do not want to work in a regular contract.</p><p> </p><p>However, this government shares the concerns regarding flexible work arrangements. That is why in October 2016 my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister asked Matthew Taylor to carry out an independent review to consider employment practices and whether they need to change to keep pace with modern business models. We are now considering the report and will respond in full later in the year.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 18/10/2017 14:50:21 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

We want to maintain improvements made to ROTL recently while allowing governors greater discretion so that prisoners get the skills and training they need.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 17/10/2017 11:56:23 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2017 answer text <p>Support for international criminal justice and accountability is a fundamental element of UK foreign policy. International courts and tribunals, including the International Criminal Court, have an important role to play in global efforts to end impunity for the most serious crimes of international concern by holding perpetrators to account and achieving justice for victims. The institutions report regularly on their activities and publish up-to-date details of convictions and sentences on their publicly accessible websites. The Government does not intend to publish a summary of such information at this time.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/09/2017 15:04:00 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their assessment of how the 45 day reflection and recovery period for victims of trafficking and modern slavery, under the National Referral Mechanism, is working in practice; and whether that time limit is 45 working days, or 45 calendar days.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL1536
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2017 answer text <p>Potential victims of modern slavery in England and Wales are entitled to a reflection and recovery period for a minimum of 45 calendar days, or until a conclusive decision has been made on their victim status. This meets and exceeds obligations under the European Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings, which requires a minimum of 30 days of support. In practice, many potential victims are in support for more than 90 days.</p><p>As part of the Government’s reform of the National Referral Mechanism, we are working with partners to assess how the current system works in practice and consider the support we provide to victims, to ensure that it enables them to begin to recover, rebuild their lives, and avoid future exploitation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/09/2017 14:11:01 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
