Written Questions can be tabled by MPs and Lords to request specific information information on the work, policy and activities of a Government Department
24th Feb 2025
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the efficiency and effectiveness of their Tell Us Once service.

Since its launch in 2011, the Tell Us Once service has assisted over 5.2 million families. We monitor the number of notifications generated and the time it takes for recipient organisations to open them, ensuring that notifications are received and acted upon promptly.

We work closely with service delivery partners to ensure the service meets citizens' expectations. The most recent monthly internal evaluations of customer feedback show a satisfaction score of 4.6 out of 5 for the online service.

To ask His Majesty's Government why the HM Passport Office General Register Office Death Certificate Application Form (for events registered overseas) asks a question about marital status "if deceased is female", but the same question is not asked in relation to males.

The General Register Office (GRO) Death Certificate Application Form (for events registered overseas) asks for ‘Marital Status’ only if deceased is female, as the Registration of Births and Deaths Regulations 1987 specifically defines ‘maiden surname’ in England and Wales as the name a woman has prior to her first marriage or civil partnership.

Lord Hanson of Flint
Minister of State (Home Office)

To ask His Majesty's Government how many deprivation orders have been issued in cases of conviction for revenge porn offences.

The numbers of all types of deprivation orders issued in cases of conviction for offences of “Disclosing private, sexual images” under section 33, Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 and “Sharing intimate images without consent” under section 66B, Sexual Offences Act 2003 is as follows.

These figures relate to all instances that a deprivation order was issued to a defendant for these offences.

The Government is committed to halving violence against women and girls and has introduced legislation to criminalise several types of intimate image abuse, and to extend the powers of the court to issue deprivation orders in these cases. We are exploring what can be done to encourage the use of deprivation orders in cases such as these.
