Similarly, Government proposals to gift controlled military equipment and dual-use equipment are also assessed against the Consolidated Criteria, with the same degree of rigour.</p><p>The Consolidated Criteria provide a thorough risk assessment framework, which requires us to think hard about the impact of providing equipment. Under Criterion 7, we would not grant an export licence, or gift equipment, if there was an unacceptable risk that the items would be diverted within the destination country or re-exported under undesirable conditions.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/09/2017 16:46:30 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2017 answer text <p>Nature conservation is a devolved matter. In England all wild birds are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, making it an offence to kill, injure or take wild birds or to take or damage their eggs and nests.

Licence applications are dealt with on a case by case basis and priority must be given to non-lethal methods. The Government is not considering any further controls on the number of raptors.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 13/09/2017 09:02:20 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
