A Conservative former minister has called for first-cousin marriage to be banned in the UK. Introducing the proposals in Parliament, Richard Holden said the children of first cousins were at greater risk of birth defects and the practice should be prohibited to protect public health. However, independent MP Iqbal Mohamed argued a ban would be ineffective and said these issues would be better addressed through education programmes to raise awareness of the risks. Downing Street said the expert advice on the risks of first-cousin marriage was clear but indicated that the government had no plans to change the law. "In terms of legislation, the government has set out its priorities," a No 10 spokesman said. Holden introduced his proposals using the 10-minute rule process, which allows a backbench MP to make the case for a new bill in a speech of up to 10 minutes in the Commons. However, such bills are unlikely to become law without government support because of the limited parliamentary time available for them. Under current legislation, marriages to a sibling, parent or child are prohibited but not between first cousins. #uk #conservativeformer #firstcousinmarriage #independentmp #richardholden #governmentsupport #businessdor

This week, Minister Mike Farnworth announced that on November 29, 2024, Surrey Police Service (SPS) will take command of policing in Surrey, under the leadership of Chief Norm Lipinski. Following his announcement, there was a swift response from those opposed to the transition, which created significant confusion regarding costs and the use of two-person cars in SPS’s policing model. As we move closer to taking over policing in Surrey, it is necessary to ensure there is public trust and confidence in the abilities of SPS.  To support this, we will be increasing our communication to the public through various channels to clarify misinformation. Let’s start with two-person cars. Two-person cars do not mean more police officers are required. In most large cities, the policing model includes the use of two-person cars. This is because data shows that a certain percentage of calls always require response by more than one police officer to ensure public and officer safety. Calls for service can be dynamic and dangerous, and the ultimate goal is to keep the public safe and to make sure our police officers go home after every shift. The bottom line is, the use of two-person cars is more efficient – not more expensive – and allows for a safer and more effective police response. The second major issue that was debated over the course of this week is that of costs. There have been multiple announcements by elected officials in the City of Surrey over the last couple of years with the cost difference ranging from $250M to $750M. These are huge numbers and they need context. Firstly, these numbers are projected over 10 years. Policing is an expensive line item in any city budget and multiplying the yearly costs by 10 will make any policing budget look astronomical. The fact is, municipal independent policing does cost more. However, this gap is closing with the RCMP’s latest collective agreement wage settlement that essentially brings RCMP salaries on par with those of municipal police officers. Staffing makes up 80-90% of police budgets, so wage parity makes a difference. Secondly, the policing budget for the City of Surrey must be developed in partnership and collaboration between SPS, the Board, and City Council. The Board needs to understand the City’s expectations of its police service and build a model that meets the needs of the residents we serve. Surrey is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. Public safety planning for the next 10 years is critical and consequential. The number of resources and the services your police agency delivers can and should be decided collaboratively – but in order to so, we need to sit down together and plan for the future. As we move into the next few months, it is our hope that the divisive rhetoric stops, and all parties works together towards a common goal: building the most effective policing model to serve Surrey.

CHARITY PARTNER UPDATE: Destiny Rescue 68 Rescued from Human Traffickers at the Nepal Border Border agents stopped traffickers from luring 68 people out of Nepal. Nearly three-quarters of the victims met their traffickers online, mostly on Facebook. The criminals built relationships with their targets and then, after figuring out their needs, offered them romantic relationships, false jobs or even trips to see relatives who lived across the border. Thanks to our border agents, these people will never see what REALLY awaited them on the other side. #trafficking #rescue #freedom #endchildtrafficking #endhumantrafficking #onechildistoomany #rescueupdate #news #businessforpurpose #financingadifference #charitableimpact #purposedrivenbusiness #propurpose #mortgagebrokersydney #endslavery #endhumantrafficking #destinyrescue

Sir Bill Wiggin The Conservative Party MP for North Herefordshire tabled written questions in relation to enforcement and the fee review which have now received response. "Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if his Department will make an assessment with the Enforcement Conduct Board of the potential merits of introducing regulatory changes relating to the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 separately to implementing the uplift to the fees recoverable for (a) High Court and (b) non-High Court enforcement." "On 17 July 2023, following a review of the fees that enforcement agents and High Court Enforcement Officers can recover when using the taking control of goods procedure, we announced that we intended to amend the Taking Control of Goods (Fees) Regulations 2014 to uplift such fees by 5%. We also announced that we would consult on reforms that aimed to encourage earlier and cheaper settlement of debt. We said that we would implement any reforms and the fee uplifts at the same time, in order to balance the need to ensure that there is a sustainable enforcement industry with making sure that those facing enforcement action are treated fairly. That consultation closed on 6 December 2023. We received detailed feedback from a wide range of stakeholders and the Enforcement Conduct Board have been consulted. A response to the consultation will be published and a timetable for implementation will be announced in due course." Given Rishi Sunak's announcement regarding the #GeneralElection on the 4th July it is now highly unlikely that the proposed fee increase will be given Parliamentary approval this side of the #Election. #enforcement #industry #fee #review #general #election
