answer text <p>I am grateful for the opportunity to put the record straight, having reviewed the Official Report with Baroness Lister. Fee waivers are available for immigration applications based on particular specified human rights reasons in which to require a fee before an application for leave to remain is considered would be a breach of that individual’s human rights. Fee waivers are not available for citizenship applications, and therefore they are not available for children seeking registration as British citizens.</p><p>I fully acknowledge that the answer I gave on 23 October did not provide the complete picture and once again am grateful to be able to remove the ambiguity my oral answer will have created. I will be writing to those who took part in the oral question to repeat the clarification in this answer.</p> more like this

question text To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Henley on 24 October (HL10985), why Mr Haddrill was appointed responsible accounting officer on 1 August 2017 in view of the fact that he had been Chief Executive of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) since 2009, and the FRC at the date of his appointment was designated a public body under the Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000; whether there was a period during which the FRC operated without a responsible accounting officer; if so, where accountability lay during that period; whether the FRC informed the Public Accounts Committee that it operated without a responsible accounting officer, for how long, and under whose authority; and if not, why not. more like this

answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics concluded in December 2014 that the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) was a public body within central government. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills (as it then was) examined whether there was scope for further review. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy concluded in 2017 that they should work with the FRC on the formal application of all relevant guidelines. Prior to that date, the Department communicated the requirements it imposed on the FRC as a public body through the FRC’s Chief Executive Officer.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Information provided by the EEAS shows that as of 14 November 2018 there were a total of 115 UK nationals working for the EEAS. Of these, 33 were seconded from the UK civil service.</p><p>The EEAS has informed staff of UK nationality that all HMG officials seconded to the EEAS will be required to end their role by 29 March 2019. Permanent Officials employed by the EEAS with UK nationality will be able to continue their employment in Headquarters in Brussels, but they will no longer be able to serve in EU Delegations overseas.</p><p>As set out in the Government’s White Paper on the future relationship between the UK and the EU, we hope to agree a programme for the reciprocal exchange of expertise and skills as part of the future UK-EU partnership. Our priority is agreeing mutually beneficial arrangements for the longer term, in line with our overall future partnership with the EU.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>The Home Office does not centrally collect data on the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder among serving police officers or former police officers. However, Home Office officials continue to consider the latest academic research on policing wellbeing, including in relation to trauma.</p><p>The role of a police officer can be challenging, and individuals may be exposed to traumatic incidents. It is the duty of Chief Officers to ensure the welfare of their officers, supported by the College of Policing. The College of Policing published guidance on trauma in policing in February 2018, ‘<em>Responding to trauma: a practical guide.</em>’</p><p>This Government takes police wellbeing very seriously and has invested in programmes to provide direct support to officers, including Mind’s Blue Light Wellbeing Programme which provides targeted support and information. In 2017 we also awarded £7.5m to the College of Policing from the Police Transformation Fund to pilot, and if successful, fund a national welfare service. As part of work to develop this service, the College of Policing are overseeing a pilot led by the Metropolitan Police Service which is focussed on trauma support.</p>

answer text <p>Defence Statistics publishes annual reports on mental health in the UK Armed Forces. The most recent of these shows that, in the financial year 2017-18, 299 UK Armed Forces personnel had an initial assessment for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder at a Ministry of Defence (MOD) Department of Community Mental Health (DCMH). This represents 0.2% of the total Armed Forces population, or 2 in 1,000 personnel.</p><p>Neither the Ministry of Defence nor the Department of Health hold equivalent verified data on the number of former Service personnel who were diagnosed with a mental disorder (including PTSD) after leaving service. However, the Government is committed to ensuring that ex-Service personnel receive effective care and treatment through the NHS, and in his Budget on 29 October the Chancellor announced an additional £10 million to support veterans' mental health projects. The £10 million will be distributed to projects throughout the UK by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust under an open application programme to be called the Veterans Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.</p>
