answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2017 answer text <p>The bilateral agreements underpinning the juxtaposed controls are not directly affected by Britain’s membership of the EU. We are committed to working together with France and Belgium to protect our shared border and to maintain the juxtaposed controls arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>The French Government has repeatedly made it clear that removing the juxtaposed controls would not be in the interests of France. We continue to work closely with both French and Belgium authorities on measures to further bolster ports in northern France and Belgium. This includes not only physical security measures and technological improvements but also wider work to tackle criminal gangs involved in people trafficking.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 09/02/2017 16:48:22 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the potential benefits to the police and intelligence agencies in combatting terrorism and crime of making it mandatory for purchasers of pay-as-you-go SIM cards to produce appropriate forms of identification.

uin	HL1720
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2016 answer text <p>This issue was considered in detail by an expert group comprising representatives of law enforcement, the security and intelligence agencies and communication service providers following the terrorist attacks in London in July 2005. The experts’ findings remain valid. They concluded that the registration of ownership of mobile telephones would not deliver any significant new benefits to the investigatory process.</p><p>Mobile phones are not the only devices capable of making calls or sending messages. Many laptops, computers, popular MP3 players and games consoles also support the sending of messages and phone calls. These devices are increasingly being used for communications. It would be necessary to include these other devices in any mandatory registration scheme.</p><p>Separately, the person who buys the device is not necessarily the person who will use it. Mobile phones are often sold or given to family members or friends which would mean that such information would quickly become out of date.</p><p>Furthermore, those who were keen to avoid providing details would still find ways to circumvent the scheme, such as purchasing or registering phones under false identities.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 16/09/2016 13:21:24 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

No country has ever used Article 50 – it is untested. There is a great deal of uncertainty about how it would work.</p><p>UK citizens get the right to live and work in the other 27 member states from our membership of the EU. If the UK voted to leave the EU, the Government would do all it could to secure a positive outcome for the country, but there would be no requirement under EU law for these rights to be maintained.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 12/05/2016 11:54:07 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
