Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many top-up payments have been made to Asylum Support Enablement Cards in each week since 4 July 2024.
Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Home Office has a legal obligation to meet the essential living needs of asylum seekers or dependents who appear to be destitute or are likely to become destitute within a prescribed period, while their asylum claim is being considered.
Details of what is considered essential can be found in the annual asylum support rate review reports, published on gov.uk.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many full-time equivalent roles there are in her Department relating to equality, diversity and inclusion; and how many of those roles are unfilled but budgeted for.
Answered by Diana Johnson - Minister of State (Home Office)
In 2023, the previous government commissioned an audit of spending in this area, which provided a figure of 16.6 FTE Home Office staff working in central Human Resources roles relating to implementation of statutory functions arising from the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED).
On 22 May 2024, as part of the response to that audit, the previous government required all departments to consolidate any standalone PSED-related roles from individual work areas into their wider Human Resources functions, which increased the number of central PSED roles to 21.35 FTE.
Those numbers have not increased since the current Government came to office, and there are no plans to increase them.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to paragraph 4.2 of the report of the Prime Minister's Task Force on Tackling Radicalisation and Extremism, published in December 2013, in how many areas of the country delivery of Prevent has been made a legal requirement.
Answered by James Brokenshire
The report from the Prime Minister’s Task Force on Tackling Radicalisation and Extremism committed the Government to ‘make delivery of Prevent a legal requirement in those areas of the country where extremism is of particular concern’. Chapter 1 of Part 5 of the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill places a duty on specified authorities to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism. These proposals will make the delivery of Prevent a legal requirement across England, Scotland, and Wales.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many British nationals were subject to (a) regulatory fines, (b) civil penalties or (c) criminal penalties because of their involvement with the proceeds of crime arising from international crude oil theft in each year for which records are available.
Answered by Karen Bradley
The Home Office does not hold this information. Involvement with the proceeds of crime arising from crude oil theft is not a separately identifiable offence. Furthermore, The Home Office only collects statistics on crimes committed in
England and Wales, and not on international crime.
