answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/04/2021 answer text <p>Export licences are the responsibility of the Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) in the Department for International Trade. All these licences for military goods to Ethiopia granted to commercial end users for use in the mining and agricultural industries. At the time these licences were issued ECJU were content that they were being exported for the indicated end use and would not be diverted for military use in an armed conflict. ECJU conducts rigorous risk assessments before a licence is issued to consider whether goods might be used in a way which is inconsistent with the Consolidated Criteria, as well as exercising powers to revoke or suspend extant licences when circumstances dictate. This assessment looks at the information picture in the round, taking into account information from a range of sources.</p> answering member constituency Wells answering member printed James Heappey question first answered 29/04/2021 07:25:08 answering member 4528 label Biography information for James Heappey

Through our Aawaz II programme, we are generating data on the costs of child marriage to inform policy and are supporting dialogue for enactment of reformed Child Marriage Restraint Bills in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The programme is also working with communities to change social behaviours towards this issue. Our work also include collaboration with government and civil society to strengthen child protection institutions and Juvenile Justice System (including establishment of child courts) to improve delivery of services and rights for children.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 29/04/2021 11:14:37 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
