answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2020 answer text <p>As part of the Royal Navy's persistent presence in the region, five ships have transited the South China Sea since April 2018, most recently HMS Enterprise in late 2019 and early 2020. These deployments have involved a range of defence engagement with regional partners, multilateral exercises and maritime surveillance including support for enforcing UNSCR sanctions on DPRK. These deployments also serve to reinforce our commitment to regional security and to upholding the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). The cost of this activity is met through the Defence budget. Wherever the Royal Navy operates, it does so in full compliance with international laws, norms and rights to freedom of navigation provided for by UNCLOS.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 16/07/2020 12:19:32 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams previous answer version 37573 answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2020 answer text <p>The Government does not propose to remove statues or memorials on its property. We believe it is always legitimate to examine and debate Britain's history, but removing statues is not the right approach.</p><p>The FCO building in King Charles Street dates back to 1868. With such a long history there are elements that reflect artwork and individuals from a very different era. We are examining both what those elements are, and how best to address what they represent, while preserving history. This is under active consideration.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 18/06/2020 06:39:31 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
