answer text <p>Reports about forced separation of children, including Dr Adrian Zenz's report of 4 July 2019, add to the growing body of evidence about the disturbing situation that Uyghurs and other minorities are facing in Xinjiang. We assess that there could be more than a million Uyghurs and other minorities who have been or are currently detained extra-judicially in detention camps in the province. As Mr Field explained in a Westminster Hall debate on 29 January 2019, these detentions have split up families and have had a significant impact on the children of those detained.</p><p>We also frequently raise our concerns about the human rights situation in Xinjiang bilaterally with the Chinese Government and in multilateral fora. Most recently on 3 July at the 41<sup>st</sup> session of the United Nations Human Rights Council, we noted our increasing concern at the growing use of detention camps in Xinjiang and re-iterated our call on China to allow UN observers unrestricted access.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government has committed to leaving the environment in a better state than was inherited by this generation and improving the health and lives of people across the UK. Transport has a key role to play in reducing emissions to meet both climate change and air quality goals. The Clean Air Strategy, published this year, is the most ambitious air quality strategy in a generation, aiming to halve the harm to human health from air pollution in the UK by 2030.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Motorcycles can make a significant contribution to addressing the nation’s transport and traffic problems. They offer real benefits in terms of reduced congestion and an affordable alternative to the car, providing independence and mobility and widening employment opportunities. Motorcyclists represent one of the most vulnerable road user groups and the Department has just published a refreshed Road Safety Statement and a two-year action plan to address the following four key priority groups: motorcyclists; rural road users; young road users; and older road users.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>Electric scooters are illegal to use on public roads in the UK. The Department is also currently undertaking a Regulatory Review which will include whether electric scooters and other micromobility devices should be permitted in the UK and the impacts of introducing electric scooters on congestion, the environment and road safety.</p><p> </p>
