answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/02/2016 answer text <p>The UK operates one of the most rigorous and transparent export control regimes in the world. No licence would be issued if to do so would contravene the UK's strict export control criteria. In this case a single licence accounted for 90% of the total value of potential exports authorised by the licences. This was for a long-term contract for the delivery of a new air-to-air munitions capability over a number of years [and is unconnected to current operations by the Royal Saudi Air Force in Yemen.</p><p> </p><p>Licences granted in a given period do not equate to goods shipped The Department for Business (BIS) export licensing statistics only indicate the number and value of licences granted in a specified period, not the value of actual exports. Licences are usually valid for up to two years and the value of the licence therefore represents an estimate of future export value. As such, the value of licences granted in any one quarter will generally not be the same as the value of goods actually exported and does not provide an indication of goods shipped.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Maude of Horsham question first answered 16/02/2016 14:21:56 answering member 115 label Biography information for Lord Maude of Horsham

The ban is implemented in England through the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 (as amended) and is enforced by the Environment Agency through the environmental permits it issues to landfill operators.</p><p> </p><p>The creation of new markets for paint products was one of the recommendations from the British Coatings Federation’s “Paintcare” initiative which was launched last year. The Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) is taking steps to encourage consumers to recycle/reuse household paint by providing information through the Recycle Now campaign. This includes a postcode locator to pinpoint local facilities and information on how to deal with paint.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 12/02/2016 12:09:20 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2016 answer text <p>The National Risk Register of Civil Emergencies (NRR) is the public-facing version of the National Risk Assessment (NRA), a classified assessment of the civil emergency risks facing the UK over the next five years. The NRR is published by the Civil Contingencies Secretariat, Cabinet Office. Due to sensitivities, beyond the detail contained within the NRR (particularly Chapter 3 of the <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/national-risk-register-of-civil-emergencies" target="_blank">2015 iteration</a>) the NRA methodology is not for public disclosure. However, every risk in the NRR is owned and assessed by a lead government department. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is owned by the Department of Health, which is preparing a paper for submission to the Lancet that sets out the analytical methods used to underpin the National AMR Strategy.</p> answering member constituency West Dorset answering member printed Mr Oliver Letwin question first answered 26/01/2016 13:24:27 answering member 247 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Letwin
