answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>The UK notes the abuse of migrants and refugees in Libya and the inhumane conditions in detention centres. The Independent Fact-Finding Mission on Libya is assessing human rights abuses and violations in detention centres. The UK co-sponsored the renewal of the Fact Finding Mission's mandate in July. We continue to urge the interim Government of National Unity to take steps to end the exploitation and abuse of migrants and to implement a better functioning system that respects human rights. We support the UN's call for detention centres across Libya to be closed, and call on all parties to engage with the UN and the humanitarian community so that all migrants and refugees can be evacuated safely in accordance with international human rights law.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park grouped question UIN HL2222 question first answered 28/09/2022 12:42:36 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/08/2021 answer text <p>The effects of climate change, including sea level rise, are considered and adapted to throughout the lifetime of nuclear power stations from design and construction, through operation and on to decommissioning.</p><p> </p><p>The UK’s robust regulatory framework is designed to accommodate changes in science and expert guidance, whilst ensuring appropriate assessment of the specific operating lifetime of individual stations.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst the National Policy Statement sets out the siting framework and criteria (including flood and coastal erosion risks), all stations will require planning permission and environmental permits from the Environment Agency and safety licensing from the Office for Nuclear Regulation (the ONR) throughout their lifetime. This will require strong evidence from licence holders to demonstrate that the effects of climate change have been thoroughly evaluated and can be managed over the lifetime of stations.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency and the ONR would not allow a site to be built or to operate if they judged that it was not safe to do so.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 02/08/2021 13:50:19 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
