To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress has been made implementing and enforcing the pubs code.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what progress has been made implementing and enforcing the pubs code.
The Office of the Pubs Code Adjudicator (PCA) is up and running. Tenants are raising issues and queries with the PCA via the helpline and website, and referring cases to him under the Pubs Code. On 21 April 2017, Paul Newby, the PCA, announced the latest figures on completed arbitration cases. The total number of cases in which the Adjudicator has made awards is 25, including the five cases announced on 9 March 2017. The PCA currently has 97 cases at different stages within the arbitration process.
The family court has powers to address a breach if someone has been wilfully obstructive. When a child’s welfare requires it, the court can transfer the child’s residence to the other party. This Government are keen that there should be effective action, and a Green Paper on family justice has already been announced.

What steps the Government is taking to ensure effective enforcement of child arrangement orders.
Unfortunately, enforcement is a serious problem in the courts because of the criminal threshold and a lack of an effective penalty. In some of the worst cases, the non-resident parent—usually but not always the father—can be cut out of the child’s life. Does my right hon. and learned Friend agree that this issue needs to be addressed if we are to see equity in the family justice system?

It is right that there should be a clear system to establish the facts about a breach, and it should then be possible to deal with the breach effectively. Of course I am unable to make any announcement today but, as I have indicated to my hon. Friend, a Green Paper on family justice has been announced for later in the year, and she and I have already had the opportunity to discuss some of her ideas.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 22 March 2017 to Question 67778, what steps he is taking to ensure local trading standards officers are adequately resourced to effectively enforce the interchange fee regulation.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 22 March 2017 to Question 67778, what steps he is taking to ensure local trading standards officers are adequately resourced to effectively enforce the interchange fee regulation.
Local Trading Standards officers are not responsible for enforcing the Interchange Fee Regulation. The Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) is responsible for monitoring compliance with the interchange fee regulation in the UK and for taking enforcement action where appropriate.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the budget is for HM Revenue and Customs national minimum wage enforcement for 2016-17.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the budget is for HM Revenue and Customs national minimum wage enforcement for 2016-17.
HM Revenue and Customs have a budget of £20 million to enforce the National Minimum Wage for 2016/17, up from £13m in 2015/16.
In the 2016 Autumn Statement my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a £4.3m increase, further to the £1 million already planned, bringing the enforcement budget to £25.3 million for 2017/18.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how the Director of Labour Market Enforcement plans to consult before drafting his labour market enforcement strategy.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how the Director of Labour Market Enforcement plans to consult before drafting his labour market enforcement strategy.
The Director of Labour Market Enforcement (The Director) was appointed on 1 January 2017 and has submitted to ministers an introductory labour market enforcement strategy. In preparing the strategy the Director held stakeholder roundtables, a stakeholder survey, and met with the three enforcement bodies - the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, and HMRC’s National Minimum Wage team – as well as public bodies and external stakeholders.
To ask the Attorney General, what training is available for Police and Crown Prosecution Service staff on the nature and enforcement of restraining orders.
To ask the Attorney General, what training is available for Police and Crown Prosecution Service staff on the nature and enforcement of restraining orders.
The CPS has bespoke e-learning training regarding restraining orders, which is available to all prosecutors through the Prosecution College. The training enables prosecutors to fully understand the principles and practical issues involved when an application is made to a court to put a restraining order in place for the protection of victims.
The CPS will always prosecute criminal breaches of restraining orders where the test set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors is met. Offending committed in breach of, or whilst subject to, a court order is likely to be seen as increasing the culpability of the suspect and, therefore, increasing the public interest in bringing a prosecution.
The College of Policing sets the standards for the police and the use of restraining orders is referred to in a number of areas across the College’s curriculum.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the legislative basis is for enforcement agencies to measure the noise level being emitted from a motor vehicle.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the legislative basis is for enforcement agencies to measure the noise level being emitted from a motor vehicle.
Anyone who uses a vehicle in such as manner as to cause excessive noise, but which is avoidable through reasonable driver care, is guilty of an offence under Regulation 97 of the Road Vehicles (Construction & Use) Regulations 1986, as amended. Enforcement Authorities also have powers to address noise nuisance under the Police Reform Act 2002 and the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what enforcement action the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner is able to take against registered immigration advisors in cases where complaints against that advisor are substantiated.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what enforcement action the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner is able to take against registered immigration advisors in cases where complaints against that advisor are substantiated.
The enforcement action that the Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner (OISC) is able to take against registered advisors is set out in the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 and the Commissioners Complaints Scheme (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/complain-about-an-oisc-regulated-immigration-adviser) which states:
34. If a complaint is substantiated, in whole or in part, it will be included in the organisation’s and adviser’s regulatory history.
35. The Commissioner may:
- leave the determination on file for consideration at the next relevant application for registration. Practice points may be issued;
- consider and conclude that the organisation and/or an adviser should have their authorisation immediately cancelled; or
- lay a Disciplinary Charge before the First-tier Tribunal (Immigration Services).

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of technical solutions to the enforcement around sensitive locations and sensitive events of no-fly zones relating to UAVs.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of technical solutions to the enforcement around sensitive locations and sensitive events of no-fly zones relating to UAVs.
Across government there are a number of strands of work aimed at improving our defences against the potential misuse of drones, with a focus on sensitive and important locations and events; this includes consideration of solutions for technical enforcement. We are engaging directly with manufacturers of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), academia and industry on technical solutions such as geo-fencing, and trials and demonstrations have already taken place to examine the applicability of technological options to detect and counter drones. Further trials and demonstrations will take place this year, with Government involvement being overseen by the Centre for the Protection of National Infrastructure.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that appropriate enforcement mechanisms will be in position post-Brexit in place of those currently exercised by the European Commission and European Court of Justice, in relation to the environment.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that appropriate enforcement mechanisms will be in position post-Brexit in place of those currently exercised by the European Commission and European Court of Justice, in relation to the environment.
The Government is committed to being the first generation to leave the environment in a better state than we found it.
The UK has always had a strong legal framework for environmental protections which predates our membership of the EU and oversight by its institutions. Our legislative framework already includes provisions for regulators to enforce existing environmental laws.
Parliament is responsible for holding the Government to account, and Parliament is ultimately accountable to the electorate. This will not change with our departure from the EU.
If there is an allegation that the Government has acted unlawfully, or has not complied with due process, interested parties may also bring legal action against the Government, in form of a claim for judicial review through the courts.

The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) receives them. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW or NLW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reviews all complaints that are referred to the department.
In 2015/16, HMRC completed 2667 investigations, identifying 958 instances of non-compliance. In 2016/17, up to 30 September 2016, HMRC had completed 1420 investigations, identifying 521 instances of non-compliance.
HMRC do not hold data on Employment Tribunals and action taken through civil courts in a format that would enable provision of the statistics requested.
