To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have been prosecuted for the illegal use of disability parking blue badges in the past two years.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have been prosecuted for the illegal use of disability parking blue badges in the past two years.
The Department for Transport does not hold data about the number of prosecutions for illegal badges.
The Department for Transport sets the legislation that governs the scheme and provides guidance for local authorities who are solely responsible for administrating the scheme.
Current legislation provides local authorities with the means to tackle abuse of the Blue Badge scheme locally, such as the power to retain and cancel badges found to be misused.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have issued guidance for prosecuting those who incite others to cover up cameras in the Ultra Low Emission Zone.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have issued guidance for prosecuting those who incite others to cover up cameras in the Ultra Low Emission Zone.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has not issued specific guidance on prosecuting those who incite others to cover up cameras in the Ultra Low Emission Zone.
These offences would be covered by existing guidance on inchoate offences, Theft Act offences, and offences during protests, demonstrations or campaigns. The existing guidance is available on the CPS website: Inchoate Offences; Theft Act Offences; and Offences during Protests, Demonstrations or Campaigns.

We are committed to introducing new legislation to ensure our security services and law enforcement agencies have the tools they need to disrupt state threats.
The Government is reviewing responses to the Public Consultation on legislative proposals to tackle state threats which concluded last year. Legislation will be introduced as soon as parliamentary time allows
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a person knowing that they are carrying COVID-19, and knowing that they may be at risk of transmitting the virus to another person with or without the intention to cause harm, could be charged with assault.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether a person knowing that they are carrying COVID-19, and knowing that they may be at risk of transmitting the virus to another person with or without the intention to cause harm, could be charged with assault.
Self-isolation is a vitally important weapon in the battle against the spread of the virus, it ensures that friends, family, community, and NHS are protected. Therefore, a new legal duty was introduced in September 2020 requiring a person in England to self-isolate for 10 days if they tested positive for the COVID-19.
To increase compliance and ensure our domestic self-isolation regime is effective failure to self-isolate can result in an FPN of £1000 for the first offence. This increases to £2000 for a second offence, £4000 for a third offence and £10,000 for a fourth and any subsequent offence. Failure to pay a Domestic Self-Isolation Fixed Penalty Notice can be subject to criminal proceedings.
There may be some circumstances where someone could be charged with assault by risking harm to others in passing on COVID-19 but such charging decisions would be for the Crown Prosecution Service to consider.
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the Crown Prosecution Service were first made aware of the omission in the report by Sir Richard Henriques, An Independent Review of the Metropolitan Police Service's handling of non-recent sexual offence investigations alleged against persons of public prominence, published on 19 January 2016, to...

In 2015 the then Director of Public Prosecutions commissioned Sir Richard Henriques to conduct an Independent Inquiry into allegations made against Lord Greville Janner, which was published on 19 January 2016. Sir Richard was asked to conduct a thorough and independent review into the approach and decision making of the CPS in relation to past investigations by Leicestershire Police which concluded in 1991, 2002 and 2007. He made a number of recommendations with regard to CPS procedures and guidance. This inquiry was separate to and independent of the prosecution of Lord Janner which concluded in March 2016.
As to the Independent Review of the Metropolitan Police Service's handling of non-recent sexual offence investigations in 2016, I refer the noble Lord to my previous answer [HL14520].

Sir Richard Henriques was commissioned by the Metropolitan Police Service to review their handling of Operation Midland; his report was published in November 2016.
It would therefore have had no bearing on decisions made by the Crown Prosecution Service in the prosecution of Lord Janner, which concluded in March 2016.
My Lords, in the case of claims arising from sexual offences, is it not worth transferring funds from the criminal injuries compensation scheme so that they can be spent on counselling victims? That happens in Germany, which has a far more substantial budget to spend in that regard.
My Lords, in the case of claims arising from sexual offences, is it not worth transferring funds from the criminal injuries compensation scheme so that they can be spent on counselling victims? That happens in Germany, which has a far more substantial budget to spend in that regard.
As the noble Lord may be aware, changes to the criminal injuries compensation scheme have been considered and addressed in the context of victims of child sexual abuse. So some changes have been made, but I cannot indicate that further material changes will be made to the scheme at this time.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what information local authorities have provided to them on the number of prosecutions brought against private landlords for the letting of illegal housing provision in sheds and other buildings in private gardens.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what information local authorities have provided to them on the number of prosecutions brought against private landlords for the letting of illegal housing provision in sheds and other buildings in private gardens.
The department does not require local authorities to report the number of prosecutions brought against private landlords.
Between 2011 and 2016 we provided over £12 million in grant funding for local authorities to tackle rogue landlords, including tackling illegal housing provision, which resulted in 70,000 inspections and 5,000 facing enforcement action or prosecution.

The DPP has regular meetings with the Attorney General about the work of the Crown Prosecution Service, but the CPS makes its prosecuting decisions independently. The CPS has been passed a file by police in respect of potential offences of perverting the course of justice and fraud against ‘Nick’ and will make a decision on whether to bring a prosecution in due course.
In the meantime, ‘Nick’ has been charged separately with four offences of making indecent images of children and voyeurism.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will prosecute Thames Water over its actions in pumping sewage into the River Thames between 19 April and 27 April.[HL79]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will prosecute Thames Water over its actions in pumping sewage into the River Thames between 19 April and 27 April.[HL79]
During the period 19-27 April, parts of the treatment process at Little Marlow sewage treatment works failed and sewage was discharged directly into the River Thames. This had passed through the storm tanks so some of the solid excrement had settled out before it was discharged. The Environment Agency asked Thames Water to remove foam and other visible debris from the river.
The Environment Agency met senior managers from Thames Water on 25 April to discuss the incidents at the sewage treatment works. Thames Water produced
a process recovery action plan that includes using tankers to suck sewage foam and debris from the river, litter picking to clear up debris from trees and banks and removing debris caught on the outfall grills. All this work is ongoing as part of the recovery plan.
The River Thames is not designated bathing water so there is no requirement on sewerage operators to inform anyone, other than the Environment Agency, of when they are discharging storm sewage outside of the environmental permit conditions that apply to discharges from the works.
As part of its current investigation into the recent incident, the Environment Agency is seeking information on the recent volumes discharged, when Thames Water officials were first informed of the incident and the number of illegal storm sewage discharges from the sewage treatment works in the past 12 months. It is not appropriate to comment any further at this stage as this could compromise the investigation and any enforcement response.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether guidelines on the handling of information of use to the defence in criminal cases are to be amended following the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to abandon the case against Praidon Darmoo.[HL4501]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether guidelines on the handling of information of use to the defence in criminal cases are to be amended following the Crown Prosecution Service’s decision to abandon the case against Praidon Darmoo.[HL4501]
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) made a decision to offer no evidence in the case against Praidon Darmoo when it became apparent that prosecution leading counsel was no longer able to give the trial judge the categorical assurance he requested that the requirements of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 had been discharged.
There is therefore no requirement for a change in the law or CPS guidance on handling unused material which arises from this case.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government to what extent the judgment in the Praidon Darmoo case has influenced the Crown Prosecution Service guidelines for the handling of criminal cases where sensitive information in support of the defendant has been denied the defence.[HL4500]
