The statement explains careful steps taken to ensure informed consent was obtained from refugee families.</p><p>The UK Government supports the registration of Rohingya refugees to ensure they can access the assistance and protection they need. This includes the identification of protection needs of those with specific needs and vulnerabilities and establishing the right to return to Myanmar when they can do so voluntarily, safely and with dignity. We are clear that refugee data must be protected appropriately, and we are in contact with UNHCR on the issue and will continue to monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 21/06/2021 15:24:08 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

The data suggests some protection against COVID-19, but is only one measure and does not look at cellular immunity which may be more important in terms of long-term immunity.</p><p> </p><p>Each antibody test will vary in its sensitivity and specificity and there is currently no agreed level of antibody which indicates someone is immune. The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation will continue to review evidence on the use of vaccines in those with immunosuppression and will update its advice as necessary.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 21/06/2021 11:24:41 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government has put in place an unprecedented package of support to help people during the COVID-19 pandemic, protecting livelihoods with the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, and temporary welfare measures.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also worked with mortgage lenders, credit providers and the Financial Conduct Authority to help people manage their finances with payment holidays, and has taken unprecedented action to support renters, ensuring that no-one has been forced from their home during lockdown.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government recognises that the full impact of COVID19 on people’s personal finances is still unfolding and that some are struggling at this challenging time. To help people in problem debt get their finances back on track, the Government has agreed to maintain record levels of debt advice funding for the Money and Pension Service in 2021-22, bringing the budget for free debt advice in England to £94.6 million. This is more than a 70% increase since 2019-20 and reflects the Government’s commitment to ensure that appropriate support is available for people in problem debt; enabling an additional 1 million people in England to get free-to-client debt advice.</p><p> </p><p>In addition to this, the Breathing Space scheme has now been launched in England and Wales. The scheme will offer people in problem debt a pause of up to 60 days on most enforcement action, interest, fees and charges, and will encourage them to seek professional debt advice.</p><p> </p><p>The Government regularly engages with a wide range of stakeholders to assess the merits of new policy proposals and ideas. A key consideration for the Government is that it is keen to ensure it is fair to people who pay their bills on time, whilst taking a supportive but proportionate approach to those who are not able to. The Government believes that a Jubilee fund to provide grants to write-off debts accrued as a result of COVID-19 would not be a proportionate solution that delivers this fairness.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 21/06/2021 12:18:10 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
