The Coalition are providing air support to Syrian Democratic Forces who began operations to isolate Daesh's stronghold in Raqqah on 5 November 2016. Since then, Syrian Democratic Forces have made considerable progress and are now less than ten kilometres from the outskirts of the city, increasingly constraining Daesh's freedom of manoeuvre. It will continue to be a long and difficult fight but Daesh have already lost some 30% of the territory they once controlled in Syria and our strategy to take the fight to Daesh in both Syria and Iraq is working.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1528", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Mike Penning"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Hemel Hempstead"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mike Penning"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-02T16:07:12.903Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Syria: Military Intervention"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what progress Coalition forces have made on recapturing Raqqa.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "65420"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/693749", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/693749/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Upper tier local authorities in England have responsibility for commissioning public health services, including the promotion of healthy living and physical activity which might help reduce incidence of injury contributing to back pain in young people. They are supported by Public Health England which uses campaigns, the national physical activity framework, and partnerships across national and local government, the third sector and business to promote better public health.<\/p>
<\/p>
Clinical commissioning groups have responsibility for commissioning services which may be needed by young people suffering from back pain, particularly physiotherapy.<\/p>
<\/p>
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recently issued updated guidelines for clinicians on low back pain and sciatica in over 16s. These guidelines outline physical, psychological, pharmacological and surgical treatments to help people manage low back pain and aim to improve the quality of life of those suffering from back pain by promoting the most effective forms of care.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4019", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford West and Abingdon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Nicola Blackwood"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-01T11:31:50.897Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-02-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Back Pain: Children and Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what steps he is taking to reduce the incidence of back pain among 10 to 18 year olds.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "65423"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/693775", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/693775/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) is a crime and it is child abuse. The Government will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls. That is why our work to end this practice is an integral part of the Government\u2019s 2016-2020 Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.<\/p>
We are taking action to ensure women and girls who have undergone FGM receive the care and support they need, deter potential perpetrators and identify and protect girls at risk. We have significantly strengthened the law on FGM, including introducing a new offence of failing to protect a girl from FGM and creating civil FGM Protection Orders to ensure we are able to protect women and girls at the earliest opportunity. These are already being used to good effect and since their introduction in July 2015, 79 FGM protection orders have been issued.<\/p>
It is also necessary to raise awareness amongst frontline professionals to ensure they are able to effectively identify girls who may have undergone the procedure and those at risk. In April 2016 we published statutory multi-agency guidance on FGM to support professionals when responding to potential cases and to take necessary preventative action. We have developed free online training on FGM which, to date, has been completed by nearly 90,000 professionals, and the Home Office FGM Unit is driving a step-change in national outreach on FGM, including speaking at a number of awareness raising events across the UK.<\/p>
In addition, significant work is under way to improve the response from health and social care professionals. The Department of Health is leading a £4m national FGM Prevention Programme, and, to strengthen the social care response, the Department for Education has provided nearly £2 million for a national programme backed by Barnardo\u2019s and the Local Government Association. The Department for Education has also recently announced funding for FGM organisations FORWARD and Midaye Somali Development Network to help safeguard girls from FGM.<\/p>"}

Local police forces are in the best position to identify and respond to issues around prostitution and sex work in their area, including \u2018pop-up\u2019 brothels. Forces are supported by clear operational guidance for policing prostitution and sexual exploitation. The guidance is clear that where indoor premises are identified, the safety and welfare of those working in brothels, investigation of coercion and exploitation, and reducing the impact to local communities must all be taken into account.<\/p>
It is illegal to keep a brothel, or to allow premises to be used as one. The law does not distinguish between types of brothel, and we will continue to ensure that police forces have the powers they need to identify and close down these brothels.
