answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2019 answer text <p>Domestic abuse is an abhorrent crime that nobody should have to suffer. The Government is absolutely committed to protecting victims of domestic abuse and their families.</p><p>A victim of domestic abuse already has priority need under the homelessness legislation if they are vulnerable as a result of having to leave accommodation because of violence from another person, or threats of violence from another person that are likely to be carried out.</p><p>In addition, people who are homeless or owed a duty under the homelessness legislation must be given reasonable preference (priority) for social housing. Statutory guidance issued in 2012 goes further and makes it clear that local authorities should consider giving additional preference (high priority) to those who are homeless and require urgent rehousing as a result of domestic abuse.</p><p>The Department has no plans currently to change the definition of priority need or reasonable preference.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 28/01/2019 16:34:46 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>We remain very concerned by the Hong Kong authorities’ unprecedented rejection of a visa for senior British journalist Victor Mallet. In the absence of an explanation from the authorities we can only conclude that this move is politically motivated. This undermines Hong Kong’s freedom of speech and freedom of the press, both guaranteed by the Joint Declaration, and the Basic Law, and increases the pressure on the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework. We urge the Hong Kong authorities to reconsider this decision. Confidence in Hong Kong’s rights and freedoms is an essential component of its future success.”</p><p>We have raised Mr Mallet’s case with the Hong Kong authorities. Our most recent assessment of these issues can be found in the latest edition of HMG’s Six Monthly Report, published on 6 September.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 23/10/2018 16:11:28 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
