answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department invests over £1 billion a year in health research through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). These applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality. It is not usual practice for the NIHR to ring-fence a proportion of its budget for research into particular topics or conditions.</p><p>Through its Health Services and Delivery Research programme, the NIHR awarded £800,000 to researchers at the University of Exeter, working with the NIHR Collaboration for Leadership in Applied Health Research and Care South West Penninsula (PenCLAHRC) and the NIHR Maudsley Biomedical Research Centre, for ‘The Children and adolescents with ADHD in transition between children’s services and adult services (CATCh-uS)’ project. This is the award mentioned in the oral contribution of the Prime Minister of 6 June 2018.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 10/07/2019 16:16:02 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2019 answer text <p>​There are currently no plans for UK legislation to ban the import of products from illegal settlements. We do not however recognise the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), including the settlements, as part of Israel. In order to enable consumers to make a more fully informed decision concerning the products they buy, in December 2009 the UK introduced voluntary guidelines to enable produce from Israeli settlements in the OPTs to be specifically labelled as such. We understand that multiple British retailers who have stocked settlement produce have adopted the labelling policy recommended in the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs voluntary guidance.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 10/07/2019 16:09:13 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
