answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2017 answer text <p>The nuclear and ballistic missile programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) clearly violate multiple UN Security Council Resolutions. Following a ballistic missile launch on 11 February the DPRK Ambassador was summoned to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office where it was made clear that their actions are a threat to international security and that such dangerous and destabilising activity must stop.

Friend the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson) stated after the DPRK's ballistic missile launch on 5 March, we urge DPRK to stop their provocative actions, which threaten international peace and security.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 28/03/2017 14:27:43 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

Whilst it is important to recognise the iconic role the Royal Yacht played during its period of service, commissioning a new Royal Yacht is not on the Government's agenda. As a result, this Department has not undertaken a cost/benefit analysis of deploying a Royal Yacht for trade promotion.</p><p>There is nothing to prevent private enterprise from proposing and building a new yacht for the UK to use for trade support, overseas visits and humanitarian reasons.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 03/11/2016 14:58:42 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

uin	47643
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government is determined to make a success of our global role in the world, but re-commissioning the Royal Yacht Britannia is not on our agenda, nor is commissioning a new yacht. There was a debate in Westminster Hall about this very topic on 11 October which aired a range of issues including feasibility and cost. My Rt Hon Friend, the Member for Uxbridge and South Ruislip (Boris Johnson MP), the Foreign Secretary, also told the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee on 13 October that he hoped a consortium of philanthropists would come forward to finance the cost of a new yacht.</p><p>The former Royal Yacht was used on just 37 occasions for trade promotion and signing trade deals during the last seven years of its commission (1989-1997) and only 27 trips were made overseas – four times per year. There is no evidence that the yacht made a difference to the trade deals secured in these years and this level of use would not represent a good return on investment.</p><p>The Government does not have potential costs for the reintroduction of the Royal Yacht Britannia or building of a new royal yacht because neither a feasibility study nor a review has been carried out since the decommissioning of the Britannia in 1997.</p><p>We shall continue to make full use of the FCO global network of nearly 270 embassies, high commissions and consulates to promote UK interests overseas. We shall also continue to make full use of existing Royal Navy ships for promotional purposes when they are in foreign ports.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 18/10/2016 15:12:19 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
