answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2019 answer text <p>The Government rigorously assesses arms export licences against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria. We draw on a wide range of sources of information in making our assessments, including reports from the UN Panel of Experts. We will not issue any export licences for Saudi Arabia that are inconsistent with the Consolidated Criteria, including Criterion 2(c): where there is a clear risk that the goods might be used in the commission of a serious violation of International Humanitarian Law.</p><p>The Government disagrees with the 20 June Court of Appeal judgment and is appealing to the Supreme Court. We are also carefully considering the implications of the judgment for decision-making. While we do this, we will not grant any new licences for exports to Saudi Arabia and other coalition partners for items which might be used in the conflict in Yemen.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 19/07/2019 13:42:52 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>To date, we have not seen evidence of successful interference in UK democratic processes, but we are not complacent. We know that certain states routinely use disinformation and other means as a foreign policy tool, and have seen evidence of this happening elsewhere. The Government has taken steps to ensure that there is a coordinated structure across all relevant UK authorities to defend against interference in British politics whether by Russia, or any other state.</p><p> </p><p>We treat the integrity and security of our democratic processes extremely seriously. The EU referendum provisions were carefully scrutinised and ratified by Parliament. In line with the precedent for referendums, there was a six week period in which the formal result and administration of the EU Referendum could be challenged by judicial review.</p><p> </p><p>The Electoral Commission is an independent organisation and its investigations are a matter for it alone. We must now allow the National Crime Agency space to proceed with a thorough investigation of this matter and I will not be commenting further on a live investigation.</p><p> </p><p>17.4 million people voted to leave the EU and that mandate should be respected.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 14/03/2019 14:58:54 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2018 answer text <p>As set out in the Written Ministerial Statement of 25 January 2018 [<a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-01-25/HCWS428/" target="_blank">HCWS428</a>] the Government considers that the financial resilience of a company wishing to hydraulically fracture is a relevant consideration. As a matter of policy, we will therefore look at issues relevant to the financial resilience of all companies wishing to carry out hydraulic fracturing operations alongside their application for Hydraulic Fracturing Consent. The Department is still considering Third Energy’s proposals to carry out hydraulically fracturing pursuant to the Direction issued to the Oil and Gas Authority on 29 November 2017 and will respond appropriately in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 01/02/2018 15:17:42 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
