answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>The World Bank estimates that the collapse in oil revenues will force a 9.0% contraction in growth, a 19% fiscal deficit and over 40% of the population into poverty. The UK continues to work closely with the Government of Iraq (GoI) and international community to stabilise and reform the economy in order to create opportunities for all Iraqis. In 2018 the UK was a founding donor to the World Bank's Iraq Reform, Recovery and Reconstruction Trust Fund which supports reconstruction and economic stabilisation in Iraq. In October the UK launched the Iraq Economic Contact Group in London, to bring together the GoI, international partners and financial institutions to monitor risks and coordinate resources to support implementation of reforms and macro-economic stability. The UK will continue to support Iraq as it undertakes bold economic reforms.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 08/12/2020 11:44:47 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of whether using the Deflagration system to disarm unexploded ordnance on the seabed is as effective as total destruction.
tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	122664
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>It has been assessed that both High Order and Low Order techniques are effective at disarming unexploded ordnance on the seabed and have been considered by the Royal Navy to meet the requirements in the underwater environment. Techniques used will vary based on the size, type and age of the ordnance that is being disarmed.</p><p> </p><p>While both High Order and Low Order techniques can render safe unexploded ordnance in the underwater environment, High Order procedures significantly reduce the likelihood of a partial disposal of an item. This not only reduces the chances of environmental residue on the seabed but also significantly reduces the explosive risk to the returning diver or Remotely Operated Vehicle that must confirm that Explosive Ordnance Disposal action has been completed. In the event that a partially disposed item is displaced from its original resting place and obscured in the underwater environment, there is a risk that the explosive remnants will be re-discovered inadvertently by the general public (fishing industry and civilian diving) creating a further disposal task.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 08/12/2020 16:46:05 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin

tabling member constituency	Hendon

uin	122665
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2020 answer text <p>While High Order charges are significantly more expensive than Low Order the cost of the charge itself represents a relatively small element of the overall cost of executing the mission. The employment of Deflagration systems and explosive destruction techniques for destruction or disarmament of unexploded ordnance are conducted by either a Royal Navy Mine Countermeasures Vessel or a Clearance Diving Unit. Both of these have comparable overheads representing the substantial proportion of the overall mission costs.</p> answering member constituency Horsham answering member printed Jeremy Quin question first answered 08/12/2020 16:52:15 answering member 4507 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Quin
