uin	46464
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2016 answer text <p>Before 1 January 2015 there was no requirement to obtain a permit to import a lion hunting trophy for personal use so no data is held. In 2015 the Animal and Plant Health Agency issued 19 import permits (all were returned as used) for the importation of lion hunting trophies into the UK from outside the EU. As at 28 September 2016 it has issued seven import permits this year (none have yet been returned as used). Where permits are returned as used, this confirms that the importation has taken place.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 10/10/2016 10:23:34 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

uin	46466
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>We have not carried out an assessment of the effect of lion imports into the UK on wider conservation in the country of origin. However as part of the application process for an import permit, we assess the impact of lion imports into the UK on the conservation of the species. The UK’s scientific advisors for fauna, the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, consider for each lion imported into the UK whether the import would be harmful to the conservation of the species or the extent of its range. An import permit is only issued if the trade is not considered to be detrimental to the survival of the species in the wild.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 14/10/2016 14:45:37 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/10/2016 answer text <p>Strict controls on the import of lions and their body parts were introduced in January 2015. These ensure that the exporting country must be satisfied that the animal was hunted sustainably and that the importing country must also carry out this check. We are working with CITES partners to strengthen hunting safeguards and put in place additional trade controls as appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 10/10/2016 10:28:24 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/10/2016 answer text <p>Victims deserve the best possible support to help them cope with what they have been through and recover as much as possible. We have protected the victims' budget and given PCCs the flexibility to decide which services are needed in their local area. Under the revised Victims' Code, victims of all criminal offences are now entitled to support from a wide range of organisations. But we know there is more to do, which is why we have committed to introduce measures to increase further the rights of victims. It is important that we take the time to get this right and we will announce our plans in due course.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 11/10/2016 14:37:33 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>The tax treaty with Malawi has been renegotiated, though signature has been delayed by a number of factors. Although the UK’s starting point in negotiations is based closely on the OECD model double taxation convention, the Government recognises that developing countries may have a preference for some of the provisions of the UN model. Treaties the UK has recently signed demonstrate that we are willing to accommodate some of those preferences as part of a balanced agreement.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 26/07/2016 07:56:32 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
