To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will place a copy of 2014DIN05-013 on The Closure of Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit Peterborough in the Library.

I will place a copy in the Library of the House.
Peterborough Hospital is not a Level 1 trauma hospital and thus can no longer offer Defence Medical Services personnel the required level of training.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many redundancy payments have been recovered from NHS staff who have been made redundant and subsequently re-employed by an NHS organisation in each of the last three years.
Dr Daniel Poulter
The Department does not hold information relating to the recovery of payments from National Health Service staff made redundant and subsequently re-employed by an NHS organisation.
This information will be held locally by NHS organisations.
The NHS is set to save £5.5 billion this Parliament and £1.5 billion each year thereafter, reducing unnecessary bureaucracy and freeing up extra resources for patient care.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Shannon on 2014-06-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many passports were processed by the Belfast Passport Office in each of the last five years; and what proportion of those passports were processed within three weeks.
James Brokenshire
Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) does not collect performance data at this
level. HMPO monitors performance at national level as it distributes work across the
UK estate to manage any variation in local levels of passport demand.
The cost of identifying information in the format requested would be disproprtionate.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Hanson on 2014-06-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, from which other Departments temporary additional staff at the Passport Office have been deployed; and what training costs have arisen from such redeployment.
James Brokenshire
To date, all but one of the additional staff have been redeployed from within HM
Passport Office and the wider Home Office.
Discussions are continuing with other Government Departments about whether
deployment of any more of their staff would be necessary.
The training that has arisen from this deployment has been delivered using
internal resources and this has not incurred any additional costs other than
the time of those involved and certain travel and subsistence costs.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Cunningham on 2014-06-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many prisoners serving sentences in open conditions have previously absconded for their current or previous establishments (a) once, (b) twice, (c) three times and (d) four or more times.
Jeremy Wright
Keeping the public safe is our priority. Absconds and escapes have reached record lows under this Government but each incident is taken seriously. Immediate changes have already been ordered to tighten up the system as a matter of urgency. Prisoners will no longer be transferred to open conditions or allowed out on temporary release if they have previously absconded, escaped, or attempted to do either.
My officials are currently working to provide the information requested. I will write to you in due course.
The below Parliamentary question was asked by John Robertson on 2014-06-16.
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent assessment he has made of the effects of membership of the EU on jobs in (a) Glasgow North West constituency, (b) Glasgow and (c) Scotland.
David Mundell
The Government does not collate figures for the number of jobs in Scotland that depend on UK membership of the EU. However, independent analysis published by the Centre for Economics and Business Research in March 2014 suggested that, in 2011, approximately 335,000 jobs in Scotland were associated with Scottish exports to the EU. The analysis was not broken down to the level of individual UK cities or by Parliamentary constituency

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, which charitable projects in Scotland have received funding from the Armed Forces Covenant (LIBOR) Fund to date.
Anna Soubry
The allocation of some £35 million in LIBOR fines to the Ministry Of Defence to support the Armed Forces community is just one example of the importance this Government places on the Armed Forces covenant.
We have provided £5.5 million of funding for 12 Scottish projects. In addition, the Armed Forces community in Scotland will benefit from a number of UK-wide projects which have been allocated over £16 million of LIBOR funding.
