Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people living in Liechtenstein claimed Personal Independence Payment in each year since 2020.
Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost. This is because we only centrally record if a PIP claimant is abroad, not the individual country.
The total number of PIP claimants living abroad can be found on Stat Xplore. The requested data can be found in the ‘PIP Cases with Entitlement from 2019’ dataset. You can use the ‘Geography’ and ‘Month’ filters to restrict to claimants living abroad from 2020. You will need to expand ‘National – Regional – LA – OAs’, ‘DWP policy ownership’ and then select ‘Abroad’.
You can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest user. Guidance on how to use Stat-Xplore is also available here: Personal Independence Payment data on Stat-Xplore: user guide - GOV.UK.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the Supreme Court ruling published on April 16, what plans her Department has to amend its policy on the use of women-only spaces in its buildings by transgender women.
Answered by Mike Kane - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The Supreme Court ruling made it clear that the provision of single-sex spaces is on the basis of biological sex. Providers should note and follow the ruling.
It is important that we ensure dignity and respect for all. Trans people should have access to services they need but in keeping with the ruling.
The Equality & Human Rights Commission, as Britain’s Equalities watchdog, is developing updated guidance to support service providers. Ministers will consider the EHRC’s updated draft once they have submitted it following further work in light of this ruling.
The Government is considering the implications of the Court’s judgment, including what this means for Government buildings.

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to review the penalties for the anti-social use of fireworks leading to significant criminal damage.
Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)
Tackling anti-social behaviour is a top priority for this Government, and a key part of our Safer Streets Mission. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 provides the police and local authorities with a range of flexible tools and powers that they can use to respond quickly and effectively to anti-social behaviour, including the misuse of fireworks.
To inform any future decisions I have and will continue to engage with businesses, consumer groups and charities to gather evidence on the issues with and impacts of fireworks.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Police Constable Degree Apprenticeships were (a) started and (b) completed in the last three years.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Home Office does not routinely publish information on entry routes of police officers.
The Home Office published a one-off release including data on the entry routes of police officers recruited during the Police Office Uplift Programme, from 1 November 2019 to 31 March 2023, available here:
The data includes the number of police officers recruited via the Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship pathway but it does not include the number of completed programmes. The Police Constable Degree Apprenticeship is one of four complementary entry routes available for forces to choose from to suit their local workforce requirements. The College of Policing is currently working with the policing sector and other partners to ensure that all police constable entry routes are as effective as they can be, to improve the experience of forces and participants and to enable streamlined, practical training with reduced cost to forces.
