question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether, prior to the change of terms and conditions attached to all grant agreement letters issued by public-sector grant providers to recipients of grant funding being announced by the Cabinet Office on 6 February, due diligence was undertaken to ensure that that policy complies with Article 5.3 of the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
tabling member printed	Baroness Barker
uin	HL6231
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2016 answer text <p>Article 5.3 of the World Health Organisation Framework Convention on Tobacco Control requires governments to protect public health policy from the commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry. The grant funding clause announced on 6 February 2016 helps protect the taxpayer by ensuring that grants are only used for the purposes for which they are intended. It is therefore entirely consistent with the aforementioned Article.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 10/03/2016 15:24:00 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley

tabling member printed	Lord Ouseley
uin	HL6300
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2016 answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has now published the statistics for the December 2015 electoral registers. The full report can be found here: <br>http://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/elections/electoralregistration/bulletins/electoralstatisticsforuk/2015<br>The number of entries on a register is not a measure of success - entries need to be up-to-date and accurate. That is why completing the transition to Individual Electoral Registration was so important; it meant we could remove out of date or inaccurate entries from the register and retain those that had already been confirmed as genuine. Any eligible elector missing from the register can apply to register to vote at any time and with online registration it is now easier and more convenient than ever before.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 08/03/2016 16:59:35 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley attachment 1 file name HL6300 Attachment - Electoral Statistics for UK.pdf title Attachment
