question text	Her Majesty's Government when they last held discussions with the government of Libya about compensation for UK victims of weapons supplied by Colonel Gaddafi to the IRA; and what was the outcome of those discussions.
tabling member printed	Lord Empey
uin	HL1133
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2017 answer text <p>The Foreign Secretary raised the issue of compensation for the victims of Qadhafi-sponsored IRA terrorism during his meeting with Prime Minister Serraj in Tripoli on 4 May 2017. He emphasised again the importance the UK places on this issue and encouraged the Libyan authorities to engage with UK victims' groups and their representatives. Prime Minister Serraj expressed sympathy with those who had suffered from the previous regime, but it was also clear from his discussion with the Foreign Secretary that the Libyan Government continues to face numerous challenges and that progress on the issue of compensation is likely to remain slow. We continue to make clear to the Libyan authorities that this is a priority issue for the UK.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 02/08/2017 10:07:29 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2017 answer text <p>As set out in <em>Implementing the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health</em> the expansion of Improving Access to Psychological Therapies services will focus on people with long term conditions, including neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s, and/or medically unexplained symptoms. New psychological therapy provision will see physical and mental health care provision co-located. Therapy will be integrated into existing medical pathways and services – either primary care, or secondary care services including neurology.</p><p>Although the majority of people with Parkinson’s can be cared for through routine access to primary and secondary care, NHS England commissions the specialised elements of Parkinson’s care that patients may receive from 24 specialised neurological treatment centres across England. Within these centres neurological multidisciplinary teams ensure patients can access a range of health professionals, including neurologists, neurosurgeons, clinical nurse specialists, psychologists, and that they can receive specialised treatment and support, according to their needs.</p><p>The Neurology Advisory Group will ensure that there is system alignment and a national approach when considering the recommendations, which will be of benefit to patients.</p><p>NHS England is also working with the Neurological Alliance, following the publication on 5 July 2017 of their report on mental health and neurological conditions, <em>Parity of esteem for people affected by neurological conditions: meeting the emotional, cognitive &amp; mental health needs of neurology patients</em>.</p><p>A copy of the report is attached.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 02/08/2017 15:07:06 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy attachment 1 file name HL1136 Parity-of-esteem-for-people-affected-by-neuro-conditions-2017.pdf title Mental health and neurological conditions

tabling member printed	Lord Jay of Ewelme
uin	HL1148
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2017 answer text <p>Between January and June 2017, 476 EU proposals and other documents were submitted for scrutiny.</p><p>Across both Houses there were 66 occasions when the Government supported decisions in the EU Council of Ministers before the scrutiny procedures had been completed by either one or both Scrutiny Committees.</p><p>In each case the Government explained to the Scrutiny Committees why it was important for the proposal to be supported before clearance had been provided. This period of reporting coincided with the dissolution of Parliament where between the prorogation of Parliament between 27 April and 30 June there was no opportunity for scrutiny by the Commons European Scrutiny Committee and the Committee has yet to be reappointed in the new Parliament. However, Lord Boswell of Aynho was reappointed as Chair of the Lords European Union Committee on 21 June and began considering EU documents and EMs submitted to the Committee on 27 June. As with previous six-monthly periods, the largest category of instrument was fast-moving and sensitive CFSP and EU restrictive measures where there were 29 such instruments adopted before scrutiny could be completed. There was also a package of 27 measures on which HM Treasury submitted EMs on the 2017 National Reform Programmes of Member States other than Greece, which were endorsed by Heads of Government at the June European Council without the opportunity for clearance by either Scrutiny Committee.</p><p>The figures requested are set out below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Department</p></td><td><p>(1) &amp; (b).
