Mary Glindon – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Mary Glindon on 2015-09-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the (a) total and (b) average monthly cost has been of the nationally co-ordinated detached duty scheme for prison officers since that scheme’s introduction.

Andrew Selous

Using centrally held financial records it is not possible, without incurring disproportionate cost, to determine the costs of the nationally coordinated detached duty scheme.

Information on the average monthly provision of Band 3 to 5 prison officers received as part of the nationally coordinated detached duty scheme, since November 2013, are shown in the table below. November 2013 was the first full month of the nationally coordinated detached duty scheme.

Laurence Robertson – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Laurence Robertson on 2015-09-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to powers under section 87 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, if he will raise the fines for refusal to carry an assistance dog in a taxi to level 4.

Andrew Selous

Changing the maximum fine from one level to another would need to be effected through changes to the legislation governing the offence (The Equalities Act 2010).

Figures from the courts database do not indicate that courts are finding their sentencing powers inadequate, or that there is a need to raise the maximum level of fine available.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Edward Garnier on 2015-09-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what representations he has received on the continuance of the criminal courts; and if he will make a statement.

Andrew Selous

I have received clarification that the Honourable and Learned member was referring to the Criminal Courts Charge

To date my department has received representations from the magistracy, defence practitioners, the Law Society and the Bar Council

It is important that this change, which has been approved by Parliament to make sure our justice system is fair and that those who offend pay their way, is given time to bed in. This will allow us to form an appropriate view. The government will be reviewing the provisions in due course.

Kate Hollern – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kate Hollern on 2015-09-16.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress he has made with the insurance industry on (a) identifying products that might be offered to drivers of mobility scooters and (b) how such products could be used to promote safety.

Andrew Jones

The Government is currently considering mobility scooters in the context of a European Court of Justice ruling about motor insurance known as “the Vnuk judgment”. The effect of this judgment is to broaden the circumstances in which third party insurance is required; and the range of vehicles subject to insurance requirements. We will need to amend our domestic legislation to comply with the judgment.

In March 2015 we held a workshop to help us understand the particular issues that apply to mobility scooters and reach a decision on the position of these vehicles in the context of the Motor Insurance Directive.

Officials are currently preparing an impact assessment which will consider, amongst other things, whether to impose compulsory insurance or derogate from insurance requirements, certain categories of vehicle. We will, of course, consult before making any changes to the legislation.
