Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many Deputy District Judges have been subject to disciplinary action in each of the last 10 years; and what the (a) reason and (b) outcome was of that action.
Answered by Chris Philp - Minister of State (Home Office)
The Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO) publishes statements, on behalf of the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice, about judicial disciplinary cases which have resulted in a sanction on its website at: https://judicialconduct.judiciary.gov.uk/disciplinary-statements/2020/
Additionally, for 2013/14-2018/19, data about judicial office holders subject to disciplinary sanction is available in the JCIO’s annual reports at: https://judicialconduct.judiciary.gov.uk/reports-publications/
The annual reports of the JCIO and its predecessor, the Office for Judicial Complaints, covering the years 2006/7-2018/19 are available in the Library of the House. Data on disciplinary action in the reports is broken down by the following types of judicial office holders - the courts judiciary, tribunals judiciary, coroners and magistrates, and sanctions imposed.
The publicly available information does not break the data down by office (Lay Magistrates, Deputy District Judges etc), but the action needed to obtain this information would give rise to a disproportionate cost.

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to amend the legislation on vaping implemented under the EU Tobacco Products Directive after the UK leaves the EU.
Answered by Jo Churchill - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions)
The Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) enabled us to introduce measures to regulate e-cigarettes to reduce the risk of harm to children and protect against any risk of renormalisation of tobacco use, provide assurance on relative safety for users, and provide legal certainty for businesses. The Government has committed to review the TRPR by May 2021 to ensure they are fit for purpose.

Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what steps her Department is taking to promote global free trade.
Answered by Conor Burns
As we leave the EU, we will be a liberalising force for trade in the world. We aim to secure agreements with countries accounting for 80% of UK trade within three years of leaving the EU.
As we take up our independent seat at the WTO we will be a champion of global free trade.
