tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/05/2022 answer text <p>The UK welcomes the two-month truce in Yemen, brokered by the UN on 1 April and the creation of a Presidential Leadership Council on 6 April. After over seven long years of conflict, a negotiated political settlement is the only way to bring long-term stability to Yemen and end the humanitarian suffering. The UK will continue to use its diplomatic relations and role as penholder on Yemen in the UN Security Council to support efforts towards political dialogue and peace. The UK continues to encourage the conflict parties to engage constructively with UN-led peace efforts. As part of the truce agreement, there has been an increase in the number of fuel ships entering Yemeni ports, bringing much needed relief to the Yemeni population.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/05/2022 15:36:44 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2022 answer text <p>We are not aware of evidence that Italian companies are trading with Russia in breach of sanctions. If anyone has such evidence, they should share it without delay with the Italian authorities, who are committed to strictly enforcing sanctions. We continue to work closely with Italy, including through the G7, as we coordinate international sanctions in response to Putin's illegal invasion. We understand that the Italian Government has already frozen over 900 million euros worth of Russian assets subject to sanctions.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 24/05/2022 12:04:15 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2022 answer text <p>The UK condemns the role the Belarusian regime is playing in the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Minister for Europe and North America summoned the Belarusian Ambassador on 25 February to make clear that the Lukashenko regime must end its support for Russia's illegal invasion and respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty in line with its international obligations. Furthermore, on 1 March, the Foreign Secretary launched a package of sanctions on those Belarusian individuals and organisations who have aided and abetted this reckless aggression. Individuals will be unable to travel to the UK and any UK-based assets will be frozen. We also plan to extend recent Russia sanctions to Belarus in due course. The Lukashenko regime will be made to feel the economic consequences for its support for Putin's attack on Ukraine.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/04/2022 15:03:11 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL6914
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2022 answer text <p>We are aware of the case of Mikita Yemialyianau. There are over 1,000 political prisoners in Belarus. We remain deeply troubled about the intolerable prison conditions in which detainees are held in Belarus. We urge the authorities to release political prisoners, immediately and unconditionally, and have raised this both bilaterally and multilaterally. The UK has imposed over 100 sanctions in response to the fraudulent elections, human rights violations, and repression of civil society and democratic opposition in Belarus. Moreover, this repression takes place in the context of Belarus' unacceptable support for Russia's illegal and unprovoked attack against Ukraine.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 25/03/2022 14:31:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
