	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2021 answer text <p>Under the Legacy system, households had to claim separately for benefits received, for instance an in-work lone parents in rented accommodation would need to claim both Tax Credits and Housing Benefit. However, some households may not have realised they were entitled to, or chosen to claim, all the benefits they were entitled to. As an integrated benefit, Universal Credit automatically increases take-up and we estimate that when fully rolled-out, 700,000 households will benefit from claiming their full entitlement in Universal Credit</p><p> </p><p>In the New Legacy Savings model, we have taken the projections for the number of households on Universal Credit and made an adjustment to take account that fewer benefits would have been claimed under the legacy system, based on the above assessment. This adjustment applies to around 10% of households.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 17/06/2021 16:41:30 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office carried out an assessment to understand the scale and nature of protests outside abortion clinics to establish whether more should be done to protect those requiring an abortion. The previous Home Secretary set out his position on 13 September 2018 through a Written Ministerial Statement. A link to the statement can be found here: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-09-13/HCWS958" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-09-13/HCWS958</a>.</p><p>The Government recognises the adverse impact that anti-abortion protests can have on patients and staff and the Home Office is keeping this important matter under review. My officials regularly liaise with national policing leads to assess if there have been any developments on protest activities outside abortion clinics. The Home Office would welcome any new evidence that becomes available.</p><p>I understand that the implementation of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in the vicinity of the Marie Stopes West London Centre in Ealing has proved successful in preventing protests and vigils taking place that were deemed to be having a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality. In March 2019, a second PSPO was introduced around the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinic in Twickenham.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 1145 1146 1147 question first answered 25/10/2019 12:20:40 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
