answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>​I am aware of the concerns raised by the Sikh Federation UK in their report released on 1 November. I appreciate that the tragic events of 1984 are still the source of great pain to many in the Sikh community. The Cabinet Secretary's 2014 investigation into the UK military role in Operation Blue Star concluded that UK military advice and assistance was advisory, ended several months before the operation and had limited impact on the tragic events that followed. I am satisfied that the 2014 review dealt conclusively with this issue.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 20/11/2017 17:02:07 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

uin	112299
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>Following the United Kingdom National Screening Committee’s (UK NSC’s) meeting in February 2017, the Government accepted the UK NSC’s recommendation that a population based screening programme for Group B streptococcal (GBS) carriage should not be offered. This is because there is insufficient evidence to demonstrate that the benefits to be gained from screening would outweigh the harms.</p><p> </p><p>As screening for GBS is not recommended, data as requested is not collected. The Chief Scientific Advisor has recommended that the National Institute of Health Research should commission a clinical trial to compare universal screening for GBS against usual-risk based care. This is to provide better quality evidence to assess the clinical effectiveness, benefits and harms of a screening programme.</p><p> </p><p>Information on GBS in pregnancy can be found on the NHS Choices which can be accessed here:</p><p><a href="https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/pregnancy-infections.aspx" target="_blank">https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/pregnancy-infections.aspx</a></p> answering member constituency Ludlow answering member printed Mr Philip Dunne grouped question UIN 112302 112303 question first answered 20/11/2017 12:10:18 answering member 1542 label Biography information for Philip Dunne
