uin	HL3966
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2015 answer text <p>The arrangement signed in December 2014 supports our existing agreements with Bahrain, comprising three extant Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) covering issues such as Status of Forces, Defence Equipment Cooperation, Exercises and Training. The key MOU was signed in the run up to the first Gulf War. This was principally about facilitating the movement of UK forces through Bahrain including making facilities available for UK forces; this continues to the present day with the hosting of the UK Maritime Component Commander and basing of UK minehunters on operations in the Gulf. The UK/Bahrain high level Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation which was signed in 1971 remains in force.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 20/01/2015 16:23:21 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2015 answer text <p>The Arrangement that the UK signed with Bahrain in December 2014 concerning naval basing also changed the jurisdiction arrangements that apply to UK military personnel who are serving throughout Bahrain. From 1994 to 2014, the UK had exclusive jurisdiction over UK military personnel in Bahrain but we now have concurrent jurisdiction which recognises that both UK and Bahraini law applies. The Arrangement contains a mechanism to allow the UK and Bahraini authorities to determine which set of national laws should be applied to a member of the UK Armed Forces if it is alleged that they have committed a crime.</p> answering member printed Lord Astor of Hever question first answered 20/01/2015 16:24:48 answering member 3428 label Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text We have made representations to the Government of Israel that it is vital that the longstanding status quo in respect of access to Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif, and other historic sites, be preserved. We raised the issue of access restrictions numerous times with the Israeli authorities between September and November last year. Since the middle of November, Muslims of all ages have been allowed to worship at Temple Mount/Haram al Sharif. We have also lobbied the Israeli authorities on the wider issues of movement and access of Palestinians between Jerusalem and the West Bank. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 19/01/2015 15:39:43 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Deighton on 17 December (HL3391), what proportion of the appraisal of a typical road and a rail investment proposal is based on (1) the aggregation of small time savings forecast to be of benefit to users, and (2) other effects such as the wider economic impacts and the various regeneration effects.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL3973
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/01/2015 answer text <p>Transport investment decisions are supported with a 5-part business case. Appraisal information largely informs the economic case, which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of a proposal’s impacts. This includes a wide range of social and environmental factors, as well as time savings and economic impacts. The proportion of benefits falling in these different categories varies on a proposal-by-proposal basis and information on the proportion of benefits from (1) small time savings, and (2) other effects such as wider impacts, is not centrally held.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 15/01/2015 12:17:08 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
