	question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether an EEA national residing in the UK who wished to bring a non-EU spouse into the country would, under the draft Decision by the European Council published on 2 February, have to meet the requirements for salary, and the spouse the conditions for language, as are required of a British citizen and set out under part 8 of the UK Immigration Rules.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2016 answer text <p>This is still a matter for negotiation. The European Commission has proposed bringing forward a legislative proposal to reverse the Metock judgment and prevent non-EU nationals from acquiring free movement rights simply by marrying an EU national. Instead, they will be subject to the domestic immigration controls of the first Member State they enter. In the UK, this means that they will need to meet language and income requirements.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 12/02/2016 09:55:24 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2017 answer text <p>The UK is closely monitoring the humanitarian response for the estimated 76,000 residents of West Mosul who are currently displaced. The majority of people displaced from West Mosul are being accommodated in camps or emergency sites, but some are also choosing to stay with relatives or in local host communities.</p><p>Hamam al-Alil is the first stop for displaced people fleeing West Mosul, where Internally Displaced People (IDPs) are security screened by the Government of Iraq before moving on to camps or other accommodation. The UN has set up temporary accommodation for IDPs waiting overnight at the screening site. The camp at Hamam al-Alil is now at full capacity but more spaces are currently under construction by UNHCR and the Government of Iraq. In the meantime, IDPs are being transferred to other camps east and north of Mosul where there is space available. In order to improve the living conditions of IDPs UKAid has helped provide them with food, shelter, water and sanitation assistance as well as cash assistance through funding partners in camps across Ninewa. The UK has ongoing discussions with UNHCR on the need to improve conditions and increase capacity at all camps.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 20/03/2017 16:51:14 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2022 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of attacks carried out by Turkey in both Northern Iraq and Syria and continue to follow the situation closely. FCDO Ministers and senior officials regularly reiterate the need for dialogue and cooperation between Iraq and Turkey to combat terrorism, ensure regional security, and protect civilians. We welcome recent discussions between Iraqi and Turkish Defence Ministers regarding Ankara's military operations against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We welcome the fact that the ceasefire in north west Syria agreed by Turkey and Russia in March 2020 is broadly holding. We are concerned by increased violence in recent months, including frequent airstrikes and daily artillery shelling. It is essential that all parties to the conflict respect the ceasefire and allow humanitarian access. We urge all parties to increase their efforts to adhere to it.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL5973 question first answered 18/02/2022 14:56:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

	tabling member printed	Baroness Andrews
	uin	HL5974
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2023 answer text <p>The rate of incidence of YV may vary year-to-year, influenced by environmental conditions. The rate is not yet known at the time of planting sugar-beet, however. There is a means to predict the scale of threat. That is through the YV incidence prediction model developed and run by Rothamsted Research. This provides, a forecast of the level of YV infection that will be reached in August, in the absence of any plant protection intervention. Making the prediction on 1 March allows the model to take account of preceding winter temperatures, which are important in determining the likely incidence of YV. Forecast for Yellows Virus incidence from Rothamsted Research for 2023 is 67.5%.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 10/03/2023 13:57:04 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
