	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2019 answer text <p>The government regularly consults with the Security Service about the disclosure of information that relates to the Security Service. The longstanding policy of not commenting on matters relating to the intelligence agencies has been agreed to be appropriate in this case because the changes to the pedestrian access have been made for reasons of building security.</p><p>We cannot comment further on these reasons other than to say that the Security Service has taken all appropriate and reasonable steps to ensure the safety of pedestrians and any potential liability for negligence would be the same as with any public organisation. The Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament provides the means for the scrutiny of the policies, expenditure, administration and operations of the intelligence agencies on behalf of Parliament.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2019 15:38:17 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

To date the UK has utilised €372m, this figure includes both expenditure and funding committed by grant agreement. In addition, the Responsible Authority is currently undertaking an open call for proposals for integration related activities for a value of up to £50m.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2019 15:39:59 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
