question text Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Prior of Brampton on 19 December 2016 (HL3794), and in the light of the Report on abortion statistics, England and Wales, 2016, published in June, which states that almost half of Ground E notifications are missing, how many cases have been investigated where registered medical practitioners were suspected of wilfully contravening or wilfully failing to comply with the requirements relating to section 1(1) of the Abortion Act 1967 in each of the past five years for which records are available; and how many such investigations have resulted in a summary conviction and fine. more like this

answer text <p>We continue to carefully monitor levels of under-reporting of abortions for fetal abnormality. Actions being taken include working directly with hospital staff to understand their specific challenges and help them find solutions to improve reporting of abortions. The Department, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and the British Maternal and Fetal Health Medicine Society have written to all clinicians in fetal medicine units, antenatal screening midwives, and associated administrative staff to remind all doctors involved in abortion care of their legal responsibility under the Abortion Act 1967 and Abortion Regulations 1991 to submit form HSA4 within 14 days of the termination. The letter also provides practical examples from hospitals the Department has worked with to improve their reporting processes.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>We are not aware of any case where a registered medical practitioner has been investigated or convicted in the past five years of wilfully contravening or wilfully failing to comply with the notification requirements relating to section 1(1) of the Abortion Act 1967.</p>

answer text <p>The Payment Services Regulations 2017 (which implement the second Payment Services Directive, PSDII) were laid in Parliament 19 July 2017 and will apply from 13 January 2018. Under these regulations, as is currently the case under the first Payment Services Directive, providers of international money transfer services are required to show any fees incurred (such as commission or flat fee) and the exchange rate the provider is offering the customer.</p><p> </p><p>As PSDII is a maximum harmonising Directive, the Government is not able to go beyond these explicit requirements (e.g. requiring the spot rate to be identified at the moment of the transaction).</p> more like this
