uin	HL7600
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>In 2015 and 2016 there were no convictions under Sections 1 or 2 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 reported to the Ministry of Justice. In 2017, a total of 7 offenders were convicted of offences under Section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and 8 offenders were convicted of offences under Section 2 of the Act.</p><p> </p><p>Recorded figures relate to persons for whom these offences were the principal offences for which they were dealt with. When a defendant has been found guilty of two or more offences the principal offence is the offence for which the heaviest penalty is imposed. Where the same disposal is imposed for two or more offences, the principal offence recorded is the offence for which the statutory maximum penalty is the most severe.</p><p> </p><p>The figures appearing in the Written Answer of 30 April [HL6886 and HL 6887] were taken from the Crown Court case management system and provided a total of appeals initially lodged but not at the point of being categorised by appeal type. Consequently, these figures included cases that the Criminal Appeal Office would later have recorded as appeals against other offences. Figures taken from Criminal Appeal Office records, which do categorise appeal types, show that:</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>No applications for leave to appeal against conviction under section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act have been received.</p><p> </p><p>1 application for leave to appeal against conviction under section 2 of the Modern Slavery Act has been received and is still pending.</p><p> </p><p>1 application for leave to appeal against sentence under section 1 of the Modern Slavery Act was received but was abandoned by the applicant and is now closed.</p><p> </p><p>3 applications for leave to appeal against sentence under section 2 of the Modern Slavery Act have been received. Of those, 1 is still pending and 2 have lapsed after leave to appeal was refused.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally, the Attorney General referred 1 sentence under section 2 of the Modern Slavery Act to the Court of Appeal for review under the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme; the appeal was allowed and the sentence increased. And there was 1 prosecution appeal which confirmed the Crown Court ruling and the defendant was acquitted.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie grouped question UIN HL7595 HL7596 HL7597 HL7598 HL7599 question first answered 22/05/2018 15:30:41 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the database created by the Access to Medical Treatments (Innovation) Act 2016 is intended to supersede the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s hierarchy for the use of unlicensed medicines.
tabling member printed	Baroness Finlay of Llandaff
uin	HL7600
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/04/2016 answer text <p>The database will not supersede the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency’s (MHRA) guidance on the hierarchy for the use of unlicensed medicines, which is set out in the MHRA’s ‘Guidance Note 14’. The Access to Medical Treatments (Innovation) Act 2016 seeks to facilitate access to innovative medical treatments including the off-label use of medicines and the use of unlicensed medicines, such as in schemes like the Early Access to Medicines Scheme (EAMS). The Act provides for the establishment of a database of innovative medical treatments, which doctors can access to search for innovative treatments in schemes like the EAMS, including unlicensed or off-label medicines for which there is evidence that a patient might benefit. Where appropriate they can also search for clinical trials that are underway and discuss their findings with their patients to establish if they would benefit from being part of a clinical trial. There will be a full consultation on the database in due course.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 26/04/2016 16:18:46 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton attachment 1 file name Guide - supply_of_unlicensed_medicinal_products__specials.pdf title MHRA Guidance Note 14
