uin	HL9477
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/11/2020 answer text <p>We have no plans to do this. Our focus remains firmly on ensuring that millions of new and existing claimants continue to receive their payments on time, and that we do everything possible to support people back into work where it is right to do so.</p><p> </p><p>Nobody has to wait for five weeks for a Universal Credit (UC) payment. New Claims Advances are available which allow claimants to receive up to 100 per cent of their estimated UC payment upfront so that new claimants will receive their annual award over 13 payments during their first year, instead of 12. These advances are not loans.</p><p> </p><p>The Department has announced that from October 2021, the maximum recovery period is increasing from 12 to 24 months for new claim and benefit transfer advances and that we are reducing the normal maximum level of deductions from a claimant’s UC Standard Allowance to 25 per cent, down from 30 per cent.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 02/11/2020 14:37:12 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have provided any funds to support the Union Election Commission in Myanmar; if so, why; and what assessment they have made of reports that it has forbidden Rohingya people from standing as candidates.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL9415
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/11/2020 answer text <p>The UK is not providing any direct financial support to the Union Election Commission (UEC). We are very concerned at the exclusion of candidates on spurious citizenship grounds, this includes Rohingya and Muslim candidates. The right to stand as a candidate for all people in Myanmar is a key part of achieving effective democracy. Decisions made by the election commission must be transparent and clearly communicated. We are clear that the Rohingya, who have lived in Myanmar for generations, should be granted full citizenship and the associated rights. The Rohingya should not be excluded from Myanmar's elections. The Minister for Asia raised this issue with the Myanmar Minister for International Cooperation in June. We also raised this at the UN Security Council in September.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/11/2020 12:28:29 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
