answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/11/2022 answer text <p>I am always keen to listen to suggestions from colleagues about the steps we might take to make Parliament a more modern working environment.</p><p>Sitting hours are a matter for the whole House and any changes would require a change to Standing Orders. A series of changes were made in 2012 following work by the Procedure Committee, and members can raise these matters with the Committee.</p><p>Voting procedures are also a matter for the House and any changes should enjoy a wide consensus among members. Slipping and pairing has been, and continues to be, a valuable practice that allows members to be absent from votes and the Whips’ offices on all sides of the House work hard to ensure that the system functions as well as possible for individual members. The House recently agreed an expansion of the proxy voting scheme and a review is to be completed by the Procedure Committee by 17th March 2023. Again, members may wish to approach the Committee with issues as part of this review.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 24/11/2022 15:08:33 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2022 answer text <p>On 13<sup>th</sup> January, my Rt. Hon. Friend the Secretary of State for International Trade formally launched UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations, during her visit to New Delhi. An ambitious UK-India FTA could boost UK exports by up to £16.7 billion across a range of sectors, in the long run. This could serve to benefit all nations and regions of the UK. Our analysis shows that UK manufacturers could stand to benefit from an agreement, particularly in the automotive and electrical equipment sectors.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 03/02/2022 14:18:30 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2020 answer text <p>May I apologise for the delay in answering the question. On 5 November, the Department for Health and Social Care acted swiftly in accordance with growing evidence of virus prevalence to put in place new national COVID-19 restrictions in England. Under these new restrictions, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies are not permitted to take place, except in exceptional circumstances where one of those getting married is seriously ill and not expected to recover. We recognise that the restrictions may be disappointing for those who are planning such events. However, by their nature, weddings and civil partnership ceremonies are events that bring families and friends together from across the country and sometimes across the world, making them high risk events for transmission of the virus.</p><p><br>For further information on COVID-19 restrictions, please see <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november#weddings-civil-partnerships-and-funerals" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/new-national-restrictions-from-5-november</a>.
