uin	HL3446
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/05/2020 answer text <p>We continue to raise with the Government of Bangladesh the issue of telecommunications restrictions imposed in the Cox's Bazar refugee camps. I have raised this several times with the Bangladesh High Commissioner in London and we continue to engage through our British High Commission in Dhaka. In all of these interactions, we have requested full communications access in the camps.</p><p>Good communications are critical for crisis preparedness and response, as well as for maintaining stability in the camps. These communications are also central to monitoring and delivering critical services to Rohingya communities.</p><p>The restrictions limit the ability of humanitarian agencies to share information with refugee communities and each other; they also restrict the ability for the Rohingya to communicate across the camps. Women and girls are likely to be disproportionately affected by these restrictions as social norms in Rohingya communities mean they generally have less access to information than men. Ensuring that women and girls can access information on COVID-19 is especially important given their major role in caring for children, elders and sick household members.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/05/2020 12:18:58 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Lord Nash on 7 November (HL Deb, cols 894–6), what are the longest, shortest and average times that children were missing when they ran away from local authority care in each year since 2009.
tabling member printed	Baroness Smith of Basildon
uin	HL3446
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2016 answer text <p>Local authorities are responsible for collecting information about children in care who go missing. Due to inconsistencies in local data collection and reporting, the Department for Education strengthened its data collection in 2015 to use a new definition of missing and away from placement without authorisation. The Department also asked for data on all children who were missing from care, including those missing for less than a day. Figures for earlier years are not available on a consistent basis and are not considered reliable. Improved information on children missing from care in 2015 and 2016 is published in table G1 of the statistical first release: ‘Children looked after in England, year ending 31 March 2016’. A copy of the statistical first release is attached.</p><p> </p><p>This tells us that there were 8,670 children who were missing from care at some point during the year ending 31 March 2016, and 4,430 who were away from their placement without authorisation. As this is a new collection, the published statistics are currently classed as ‘experimental statistics’ to reflect that the quality of the statistics is still being assessed. Local authorities reported significant improvements to the quality and completeness of the data reported in 2016 so figures for 2015 and 2016 are not comparable.</p><p> </p><p>The Department only collects the date on which a child has gone missing or has returned, not the time period and duration of the incident. Local authorities will hold this detailed information. However, table G1 does show the duration of missing incidents.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash grouped question UIN HL3445 question first answered 30/11/2016 16:45:13 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash attachment 1 file name Copy of SFR_41_2016_Tables.xlsx title Statistical First Release tables

tabling member printed	Baroness Smith of Basildon
uin	HL3446
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text <p>The Lord Privy Seal (Baroness Stowell of Beeston):</p><p>Lord Strathclyde is being supported in his review by a panel of external experts and a small secretariat of civil servants in the Cabinet Office. The secretariat does not include political advisers. The expert panel comprises Sir Stephen Laws, former First Parliamentary Counsel; Jacqy Sharpe, a former Clerk in the House of Commons and Clerk to the Joint Committee on Conventions; and Sir Michael Pownall, former Clerk of the Parliaments.</p><p /> <p>Several reviews have examined the powers of the House of Lords, including the Royal Commission on the reform of the House of Lords (2000) and the Joint Committee on Conventions referenced above (2006).</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>The review led by Lord Strathclyde is due to consider how to protect the ability of elected Governments to secure their business in Parliament in the light of the operation of certain conventions. The review will consider in particular how to secure the decisive role of the elected House of Commons in relation to its primacy on financial matters; and secondary legislation.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>Ministers regularly discuss a wide range of issues with the Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service.</p><p><strong></strong></p><p>Lord Strathclyde will determine the way in which the review is undertaken and the content of his recommendations, including any definitions required. It is not possible to provide an estimate of the cost of the exercise at this stage, but neither Lord Strathclyde nor his panel of experts will be paid a fee. Lord Strathclyde is expected to seek views from a wide range of Parliamentarians, parties and groups in undertaking his review, and has issued a letter to all Parliamentarians inviting their input. He is also seeking views from the Clerk of the Parliaments and the Clerk of the House. Lord Strathclyde will report to the Prime Minister, and the Government will decide how to proceed upon receipt of his recommendations.</p><br /> answering member printed Baroness Stowell of Beeston grouped question UIN HL3418 HL3419 HL3420 HL3421 HL3422 HL3423 HL3445 HL3447 HL3448 HL3449 HL3450 HL3453 question first answered 23/11/2015 16:50:05 answering member 4205 label Biography information for Baroness Stowell of Beeston
