answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The National Fund was set up by a trust deed in 1928. The Fund is held on trust for the purpose of reducing the National Debt. According to expert evidence, there is no realistic prospect of the Fund ever amounting to a sum sufficient to pay off the whole of the National Debt.</p><p>The application made by the then Attorney General to the High Court on 22nd May 2018, to release the assets of the National Fund in order to pay down national debt, has not yet concluded. In February 2019 the High Court Listing Officer allocated a three day hearing during a five day window starting on 18 November 2019.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 14/03/2019 17:10:09 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2019 answer text <p>Under the terms of the HM Government funding guarantee, Structural Funds (European Regional Development Fund and European Social Fund) projects signed before the UK exits the EU will continue to be funded even in the event of no deal. The guarantee also enables new projects to be signed after exit until 2020 with funding from HM Government.</p><p> </p><p>This practical measure ensures that beneficiaries can expect to receive the same amount of funding under the guarantee as they would have received if the UK had remained a Member State.</p><p> </p><p>This provides additional certainty to communities, businesses and local partners, guaranteeing investment in regional growth up to the end of the current Structural Funds programme period.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 12/02/2019 17:58:21 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>In March 2017, the Department issued guidance to the alcohol industry setting out how the guidelines can best be communicated on the labels of alcoholic drinks. The Department agreed a transitional period with the industry until 1 September 2019 to reflect the new guidelines on labelling.</p><p>The Government currently has no plans to include a commitment in the Alcohol Strategy to issue cancer warnings on alcohol labels. The UK Chief Medical Officers’ Low Risk Drinking Guidelines highlight that the risk of developing a range of health problems, including cancer, increases the more you drink on a regular basis. Information on the low risk guidelines is also available online.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL12146 question first answered 20/12/2018 12:39:28 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
