answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2022 answer text <p>The exploitation and use of prisoners of war for political purposes is an assault on the freedoms and values we believe in. We will ensure those responsible are held to account and will continue to consider options in concert with our allies. Having Russian representatives in the UK allows us to deliver clear and tough messages directly to Putin's government. Following the Salisbury attack in 2018, we expelled twenty three intelligence officers posing as Russian diplomats. Since then we have continued to maintain a zero-tolerance approach to illegal Russian activity.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 07/09/2022 16:37:51 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

uin	42205
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>Reports that Russia is buying drones from Iran illustrates that UK efforts with allies to isolate Moscow internationally and cripple its military are having an impact. Russia is struggling to source some vital military parts. We saw overwhelming opposition to Russia's behaviour at both the G7 and NATO Summits in May and the G20 Foreign Ministers' meeting in July. The UK is committed to working with allies to isolate Russia further, including through the use of sanctions. The reports also highlight Iran's continuing threat to international security and stability. We will continue to hold Iran to account for its destabilising activities.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 05/09/2022 17:09:08 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2022 answer text <p>The Kimberley Process (KP) Certificate Scheme was originally designed to combat the trade in conflict diamonds, defined as rough diamonds being sold by rebel groups to fund conflict. While conflict diamonds now represent less than 1 per cent of the global trade in rough diamonds, the narrow definition of conflict diamonds means the KP's ability to deliver on other issues is limited. The UK supports updating the definition of a conflict diamond so the Kimberley Process is better able to address the different types of conflict and actors of those conflicts, and will continue to play a role in discussions within the KP on this and other challenges it faces.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart grouped question UIN 42062 question first answered 06/09/2022 16:58:46 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart
