Such conditions may include, but are not limited to, the surrender of passports to prevent the individual from travelling abroad.</p><p>The court can also impose a Sexual Risk Order where an individual has committed an act of a sexual nature which suggests that they pose a risk of harm to the public in the UK or children or vulnerable adults abroad.</p><p>The Government is working to ensure the courts have all the information they need to make an informed decision about the risk posed by an individual.</p><p>Information relating to bail conditions that are imposed by the courts is not centrally recorded in the Court Proceeding Database held by the Ministry of Justice and to obtain it would involve a manual interrogation of court records which would result in a disproportionate cost to the department.</p><p>On 17 January, the Justice Select Committee published its report entitled &quot;The Role of Adult Custodial Remand in the Criminal Justice System&quot;.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2023 answer text <p>The repeated violations of basic human rights committed by the Iranian regime against its own citizens is abhorrent. Working with our international partners, the UK secured the removal of Iran from the UN Commission on the Support of Women on 14 December, and the establishment of a UN investigation into the regime's response to protests at the Human Rights Council on 24 November. On 9 December, the UK implemented a third round of human rights sanctions against individuals involved in the suppression of protests, bringing the total to over 40 individuals and one entity since the protests began. We will continue to urge Iran to improve its human rights record at all appropriate opportunities, including on women and girls, and to work with international partners to ensure accountability.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 11/01/2023 11:42:24 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
