To preserve the independence of the judiciary, the Lord Chief Justice, the Senior President of Tribunals, and the Chief Coroner have statutory responsibility for judicial training, under the Constitutional Reform Act 2005, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007, and Coroners and Justice Act 2009 respectively. These responsibilities are exercised through the Judicial College.<\/p>
I understand that the digital training on domestic abuse launched in October 2021 is compulsory training for family judges, magistrates and legal advisers for the 2022-23 training year.<\/p>
New training that addresses the attitudinal and behavioural issues raised in recent caselaw, the Ministry of Justice\u2019s Harm Report and the Domestic Abuse Act, was launched in April 2022 and forms a substantial part of compulsory continuation training for family and civil judges.<\/p>
The judiciary, supported by professional staff in the Judicial College, are responsible for the design, content, and delivery of judicial training. In developing domestic abuse training, the College drew on external expertise and resources as appropriate. The training programme and training requirements are reviewed regularly.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4941", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bellamy"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bellamy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-06-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL719"} , {"_value" : "HL720"} , {"_value" : "HL721"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-06-20T11:50:16.19Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-06-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Judiciary: Training"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government whether any (1) organisations, or (2) individuals, outside the Judicial College (a) were, or (b) are, involved in the (i) development, or (ii) delivery, of training on domestic abuse for judges and magistrates.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4331", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Helic"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Helic"} ], "uin" : "HL722"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1177000", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1177000/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Defra has not carried out any surveys of earthworm populations and diversity specifically in arable soils.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, Defra carries out research on earthworms as part of a wider programme of research on sustainable land management because of their important role in developing soil structure, water movement, nutrient dynamics, and plant growth.<\/p>
<\/p>
Defra has contributed funding to the Open Air Laboratory (OPAL) Soil and Earthworm Survey in England launched in 2012. Two technical reports detailing the analysis of the first set of results of the Soil and Earthworm Survey are publicly available on the website of Imperial College London.<\/p>
<\/p>
Defra\u2019s delivery partner Natural England has previously funded the London Natural History Museum to survey earthworms in a number of semi-natural sites across England and Scotland, but also included sampling from 6 arable sites. This work was captured in a report published by Natural England in April 2014 entitled \u201cEarthworms in England: distribution, abundance and habitat\u201d. <\/em>The report is available on Natural England\u2019s website, reference NECR145.<\/p> <\/p> In 2014 Defra funded the establishment of the Sustainable Intensification Research Platform (budget £4,111,184), supporting research into sustainable productive farming techniques, which includes current assessment of earthworm abundance under contrasting arable systems at the Allerton Project at Loddington.<\/p>"}

The report of the Royal College of Physicians titled Going smoke-free: The medical case for clean air in the home, at work and in public places<\/em> included estimates that secondhand smoke exposure caused approximately 12,200 deaths in the United Kingdom in 2003, and that the majority of these deaths occurred as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke in the home. These estimates were made prior to the introduction of smokefree legislation in England in 2007. Over the past decade, the proportion of smokers who say that they do not smoke in the home has increased.<\/p>
