answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy which sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. Already, this has provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff– this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as direct result of government funding. In all, the Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p><p>The Rough Sleeping Initiative programme is led by a multi-disciplinary team that includes MHCLG civil servants, expert rough sleeping advisers, seconded from the homelessness sector, and specialist advisers from across government who provide including health, prisons and probation and care leavers. The expert rough sleeping advisers are funded by MHCLG and the specialist advisers are funded by their own departments.</p><p>Rough Sleeping Initiative payments are not issued monthly.

uin	226716
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping, which is why we have now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle it over the spending review period, including the £75 million Rough Sleeping Initiative (RSI). We are particularly encouraged that across the 83 RSI areas rough sleeping numbers have fallen by almost a fifth. In its first year, councils have used the investment to create an additional 1,750 beds and 500 rough sleeping support staff this means there are more people in warm beds tonight as a direct result of government funding</p><p>London is undoubtedly the most challenging area in terms of rough sleeping. The RSI has provided a total of £7.8 million funding to 22 London boroughs in 2018/19 to support rough sleepers off the streets. £9.4 million has provisionally been allocated for 2019/20. The RSI also directly funds the Greater London Authority (GLA) and has provided £3.3 million for 2018/19. Among other things, this has funded the expansion London Street Rescue outreach, floating assessment hubs that tackle specific problem areas, additional staging post accommodation to aid people in their journey away from rough sleeping, as well as a winter night shelter fund and staff to help people with mental health issues. We have provisionally allocated £2.9 million of RSI funding to the GLA for 2019/20.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 04/03/2019 17:04:30 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

uin	226180
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>We have not made any such assessment. Compensation orders are made at the discretion of the sentencing court, which must have regard to the offender’s means. Section 130 of the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 gives the courts power to order a person convicted of a criminal offence, including sexual offending against children, to compensate a victim financially, primarily for personal injury, loss or damage.</p><p> </p><p>The Government believes that it is important for offenders to make reparation for their crimes, and in recent years this regime has been strengthened by obliging courts to consider making a compensation order in appropriate cases, and lifting the £5,000 cap on compensation awards in respect of offenders aged 18 or over in the magistrates’ court.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 04/03/2019 17:54:51 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>We recognise the need for the police to have appropriate resources in place to manage complex child sexual abuse investigations.
