answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government published its future partnership paper on cross-border civil judicial cooperation on 22 August 2017. This set out that an effective framework of civil judicial cooperation is an important part of the deep and special partnership we want to establish with the EU. The Government will therefore seek an agreement with the EU that allows for close and comprehensive cross-border civil judicial cooperation on a reciprocal basis, which reflects closely the substantive principles of cooperation under the current EU framework.</p><p> </p><p>The paper also set out our intention to continue participation in those Hague Conventions we currently participate in by virtue of our membership of the EU, and to continue to participate in the Lugano Convention that, by virtue of our membership of the EU, forms the basis for the UK’s civil judicial cooperation with Norway, Iceland and Switzerland.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 04/12/2017 15:48:18 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government which sections of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 explicitly recognise animals as sentient beings; and what assessment they have made of the operation of the provisions of that Act on (1) farm animals, (2) wild animals, and (3) laboratory animals.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL3622
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>Section 1(1) of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 defines an animal for the purpose of the Act as a vertebrate other than man. This is because, as stated in the <em>Explanatory Notes</em> to the Act, vertebrates are currently “the only demonstrably sentient animals”. Section 1(3) of the Act provides powers to extend the definition of “animal” to cover invertebrates if scientific evidence shows they are also sentient; that is they “are capable of experiencing pain or suffering”.</p><p> </p><p>The main “cruelty” offence in the Act (at section 4) applies to all vertebrates commonly domesticated in the British Islands, whether they can be said to be under the control of man or not and to all other vertebrates under the control of man, or not living in a wild state (“protected animals)”. The Wild Mammals (Protection) Act 1996 specifically protects any other wild mammals from cruelty. The main “promotion of welfare” offence at section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 covers any vertebrate for which a person is responsible. Therefore the main offences in the Animal Welfare Act cover both farmed vertebrates and any wild vertebrates under the control of man, or not living in a wild state.</p><p> </p><p>The cruelty offence at section 4 also applies to any vertebrates used in a laboratory excepting anything lawfully permitted under <em>The Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986</em>.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 30/11/2017 15:07:54 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 24 November (HL3241), why the number of Greek Cypriots employed in the Eastern Sovereign Base Area in Grades 7–8 rose from 65 in 2016 to 165 in 2017 and why there was no rise in the number of Turkish Cypriots employed in these grades in the same period.

uin	HL3633
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2017 answer text <p>I regret that the answer provided on 24 November 2017 to Question number HL3241 contained two typographical errors. The number of Greek Cypriots employed in the Eastern Sovereign Base Area (ESBA) at Grades 7-8 in 2017 should have been 65 instead of 165. Therefore, no increase in the number of Greek Cypriots in these grades took place between 2016 and 2017 in the ESBA. The number of Greek Cypriots employed in the Western Sovereign Base Area (WSBA) at Grades 5-6 in 2015 should have been 70 instead of 30. Therefore, the number of Greek Cypriots at Grades 5-6 decreased slightly between 2015 and 2017 in the WSBA.
