	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to reports of the actions of Rabia Bibi and the government of Pakistan in arresting a trafficking ring of Pakistani and Chinese nationals, what assessment they have made of the number of cases of faith targeted human trafficking; and what steps they are taking to ensure that this newly vulnerable community is being effectively supported through UK aid designated for the most vulnerable and marginalised communities.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government’s approach to tackling modern slavery and trafficking in Pakistan is to reduce the permissive environment through community based activities, and to strengthen the legislative framework for more effective prevention and control. We have not made an assessment of the number of cases of faith targeted human trafficking, however the UK Government is currently working on a range of projects aimed at minimising the incidence of modern slavery (including trafficking) in Pakistan. DFID and the Home Office have also commissioned a study which will look at modern slavery and trafficking specifically. A second study on women and trafficking is planned in 2020.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 30/05/2019 12:52:24 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

	house id	2
	legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
	question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to extend their engagement with the Advanced Market Commitment beyond the pilot for pneumococcal vaccine, run via Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.
	tabling member printed	Lord Stevenson of Balmacara
	uin	HL15814
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2019 answer text <p>The Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for Pneumococcal Vaccines is a dynamic financing instrument of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Its objective is to reduce deaths from severe pneumonia by reducing the cost of the pneumococcal vaccine. The AMC does this by incentivising vaccine manufacturers and generating greater competition by encouraging additional manufacturers to the market. So far, 114 million children have been vaccinated with AMC-supported pneumococcal vaccines, saving 762,000 lives.</p><p> </p><p>DFID has committed $485 million to AMC from 2010 until 2020. The AMC has consistently delivered and performs very strongly. It scored an A+ in its last Annual Review. The current end date is scheduled for December 2020. DFID are currently reviewing vaccine demand projections and in discussions with other stakeholders whether an extension is required in order to attract new manufacturers and generate wider benefits. This review is in line with our approach to maximise effectiveness and ensure good value for money.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 30/05/2019 12:54:28 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
