tabling member printed	Baroness Ritchie of Downpatrick
uin	HL4299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2024 answer text <p>On 19 February, we opened the new UK Deep-Sea Mining (DSM) Environmental Science Network to applications. The aims of the network are to recognise and promote the extensive and world-renowned UK expertise in environmental and natural science related to DSM. The Network will not be responsible for developing policy or providing advice or recommendations to the Government or Ministers. Rather, it will help fill the current evidence gaps on the environmental impact of DSM, coordinate research effectively and strategically, make sure UK research is included in the global environmental evidence base for DSM, and encourage conversations between the Government and the scientific community to raise awareness and coordination between DSM science and policy environmental issues.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 10/05/2024 12:54:50 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
