	question text	Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports that passengers arriving in the UK on flights from Wuhan since the outbreak of the coronavirus in China have not been medically screened upon their arrival.
	tabling member printed	Lord Birt
	uin	HL734
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>Enhanced monitoring measures are in place for all direct flights from Wuhan to the United Kingdom in response to the outbreak of Wuhan novel coronavirus (WN-CoV). We are rolling the enhanced monitoring for all direct flights from China. The focus of the measures is to identify those who may be at risk of having contracted WN-CoV, ensuring that they have information and support if they are concerned and can contact Public Health England staff at the airport.</p><p>These measures do not include the introduction of ‘medical screening’ such as temperature screening. Expert advice suggests ‘medical screening’ such as temperature screening would be of very limited effectiveness and detect only a small minority of cases. This is because symptoms do not usually appear until five to seven days, and sometimes up to 14 days.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 30/01/2020 15:55:05 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>The FCDO puts human rights and their defenders at the heart of its work. We regularly assess how the UK can enhance our ability to assist human rights defenders to carry out their work safely and without fear, including in the context of the increased risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. In July 2019 we published a report titled 'UK Support for Human Rights Defenders', which publicly underlined the UK's commitment to protecting them. In the recent Integrated Review of Security, Defence, Development and Foreign Policy, we said that one of our priority actions would be to defend universal human rights, including by working with local civil society and human rights defenders. As part of a wider review of departmental strategy, we are considering a range of options for how we should advance the human rights agenda globally, including our support for human rights defenders.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 21/06/2021 16:49:55 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2023 answer text <p>The UK's longstanding position is that determining whether a situation amounts to genocide is an issue for competent national and international courts after consideration of all of the available evidence, rather than a decision by Governments or non-judicial parties. For this reason, the UK has not made an assessment of this case.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/12/2023 15:57:14 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
