answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2024 answer text <p>We are appalled by the reports of prisoners of war, protected under the Geneva Conventions, being executed in Avdiivka. Summary execution is a war crime. We note that the Prosecutor General of Ukraine has opened an investigation into these allegations. We are committed to hold to account those responsible for committing atrocities in Ukraine. In December 2023, the FCDO announced £3.7 million to support the investigation and prosecution of war crimes committed in Ukraine. This includes funding for the training of Ukrainian prosecutors in the use of open-source intelligence and the expansion of the OPORA War Crimes Documentation Centre in Poland.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 22/02/2024 14:24:09 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2024 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting patient access to promising and innovative new treatments, including treatments for lobular breast cancer. Research is crucial in the fight against cancer, and in developing tailored treatments for lobular breast cancer specifically. That is why the Department invests in health and care research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which had a research expenditure of over £121.8 million for all cancers for 2022/23.</p><p>The Lobular Moonshot Project is a high-level request for research fellowships and projects in lobular breast cancer, to be funded by the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR). In 2022 the NIHR awarded £29 million to the ICR and its partner, the Royal Marsden, through the NIHR Biomedical Research Centres competition. This award includes work on lobular breast cancer. The NIHR encourages research proposals in lobular breast cancer to compete for its health and care research funding. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition with awards being made on the basis of value for money and scientific quality.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/02/2024 11:36:34 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
