We have no plans to specify a particular medical condition, such as autism, as a criterion for eligibility for a Blue Badge. Medical conditions are not in themselves a qualification for a Blue Badge. Provided that an applicant has a permanent and substantial disability, a local authority's eligibility decision should be based on whether they are unable to walk or have very considerable difficulty walking, not on the presence or absence of any particular diagnosis or condition.<\/p>

Provision of disabled parking bays on public highways is the responsibility of local traffic authorities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The dimensions of disabled parking bays are prescribed in the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions (TSRGD). The range of sizes already gives authorities flexibility to accommodate the varying needs of disabled people.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
TSRGD only applies to parking bays provided on the highway. The Department provides advice in \u2018Inclusive Mobility: A Guide to Best Practice on Access to Pedestrian and Transport Infrastructure' on designing parking bays in off-street car parks.<\/p>

There are important reasons why we have restricted the sending in of parcels by families and friends of prisoners and we do not intend to withdraw those restrictions. The changes we introduced last year in relation to parcels were to ensure consistency across the estate and to make sure that security can be maintained. There have always been controls on the sending of parcels into prisons, and allowing parcels to be sent in unrestricted would be operationally unmanageable and would lead to a significant risk of drugs and other illicit items being smuggled into prisons.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We have always recognised the importance of reading and literature in the rehabilitative process, and the positive effects these have on prisoners' welfare. Every prison has a library, to which every prisoner has access. Prisoners may hold up to 12 books in their cell at any one time, and additional books can be stored locally at the prison. <\/em>The National Offender Management Service also works closely with the Shannon Trust to support schemes such as 'Toe by Toe', which includes peer mentoring to improve reading levels. <\/em><\/p>"}

The UK Government supports the assessment of humanitarian needs in Northern Nigeria through OCHA, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Although figures are difficult to quantify, OCHA estimate 5.9 million people have been affected by the insurgency in northeast Nigeria and an estimated 350,000 people have been displacedsince May 2013, both within Nigeria and across the borders into Chad, Niger and Cameroon. Most displaced people are living in host communities, although around 5,000 are in camps. OCHA has assessed the priority needs of affected people as food, water, health and shelter.<\/p>

However, to deal with perpetrators of these offences, cases must be reported to the police and the evidential and public interest tests for prosecution must be met. At the time of mutilation, victims may be too young and vulnerable, or too afraid, to report offences. They may also be reluctant to implicate family members. These barriers to prosecution cannot easily be overcome. Therefore it is important to find ways of building a case that do not necessarily rely on the testimony of child victims.<\/p> <\/p> As part of cross-government work, the Ministry of Justice is already considering suggestions made by the Director of Public Prosecutions for strengthening the criminal law on female genital mutilation to make successful prosecutions more likely.<\/p> <\/p> We welcome the Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry into this area and will give careful consideration to any additional recommendations for legislative change that may be made by the Committee when it reports in due course.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
