	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/04/2019 answer text <p>We are aware that some UK licensed weapons have been used by Saudi Arabia in the conflict in Yemen. We examine every export licence application rigorously on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, including an assessment of whether there is a clear risk that the items might be used in the commission of a serious violation of international humanitarian law (IHL). We regularly raise the importance of compliance with IHL with the Saudi Arabian Government and other members of the Coalition and draw on a range of sources in making assessments, including non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations and continue to monitor the situation closely, seeking further information where appropriate. We welcome any further information NGOs and international organisations can provide. The Department for International Trade publish export licensing statistics quarterly, which can be found on the gov.uk website.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 18/04/2019 14:37:30 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what are the reasonable worst-case scenarios that they have asked local resilience forums to work on.
	tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
	uin	HL11263
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/11/2018 answer text <p>Local Resilience Forums are required under the Civil Contingencies Act to compile and publish community risk registers setting out the main risks in their areas to both raise awareness and guide contingency planning. In doing this, they are guided by, among other things, the National Risk Assessment (NRA) which covers the range of risks that could cause a civil emergency in the UK, and provides a list of the common consequences of these risks in the form of planning assumptions. These cover the maximum scale, duration and impact that could reasonably be expected to occur as a result of emergencies.</p><p>The NRA is classified for national security reasons, and it is therefore not possible to share details of the reasonable worst-case scenarios or planning assumptions. A declassified version is available in the form of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-risk-register-for-civil-emergencies-2015-edition" target="_blank">National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies</a> (NRR). This is also provided to the local planning community, and has been placed in the House of Lords Library. Most Community Risk Registers are also available online.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 13/11/2018 16:52:27 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

This includes reflecting on how the legislative framework is set out and the outcomes that they seek to achieve.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 26/11/2018 17:47:04 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham
