	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer by Lord O’Shaughnessy on 22 February (HL Deb, col 326), why it was said that "there has not been a drop-off in the number of EU nationals joining the NHS workforce since the referendum" when the Nursing and Midwifery Council has reported a significant reduction in the number of EU nurses admitted to the register since the referendum.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2017 answer text <p>There has been a decline in the number of European Union nurses (excluding the United Kingdom) joining the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) register since July 2016 but the Department does not believe that it is currently possible to attribute this solely to the UK’s decision to exit the EU, other factors such as increased language testing introduced in July 2016 may play a significant part.</p><p>However, there has not been a decrease in the number of EU nurses (excluding the UK) working in the National Health Service since the referendum vote in June 2016.</p><p>The latest published figures from NHS Digital suggest that the total number of EU nurses including health visitors employed within NHS trusts and clinical commissioning groups who declared their nationality as other EU nationals, excluding the UK, increased from 21,826 to 22,394 in the four months to October 2016.</p><p>The Department, together with key stakeholders including the Home Office, NHS England, NHS Improvement and Health Education England, will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the NHS has access to the workforce they require.</p><p>NHS Digital publishes data on the nationality of staff working in the NHS in England. Nationality is self-reported within the NHS human resources and payroll system, the electronic staff record.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL5680 question first answered 13/03/2017 13:09:51 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Yesh Din's December 2017 annual data sheet on law enforcement on Israeli civilians suspected of ideologically motivated crime against Palestinians in the West Bank, particularly with regard to the finding that only three per cent of investigations of such crimes have resulted in a conviction.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>While we have not made an assessment of this issue, the UK strongly condemns all forms of violence, including any incidence of violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians. We also deplore incitement and comments that could stir up hatred and prejudice. We welcome the efforts of Israeli authorities to tackle settler violence, and urge them to thoroughly investigate every instance, and bring those responsible to justice. We have also stressed the importance of the Israel security forces providing appropriate protection to the Palestinian civilian population. We have a regular dialogue with both the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel in which we reiterate the need for both sides to prepare their populations for peaceful coexistence, including by promoting a more positive portrayal of each other.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 06/03/2018 15:51:07 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	tabling member printed	Lord Rogan
	uin	HL5681
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2015 answer text <p>Mr Juncker's statement was not approved by the EU Member States. The UK remains firmly opposed to centralised EU command or control over military forces, which remains a Member State competence, and has successfully kept the EU focused on strengthening its co-operation with NATO which holds primacy in defence matters.</p><p>The Prime Minister made this clear at the December 2013 European Council where strengthened EU-NATO partnership was agreed to be one of the key deliverables. It will be raised again as a fundamental agenda item at the June 2015 European Council where EU Member States will look for ways to further enhance collaboration between the two institutions.</p><p>The Government ' s views on this matter have been consistent and transparent and any attempt to form an 'EU army' would be blocked by the UK. We will continue to emphasise our views to partners and will remain vigilant on the issue.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 19/03/2015 15:58:50 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever
