The urgent need to rebalance power between Parliament and the Executive (HL 106), the Guide to Making Legislation was updated last summer. This included integrating a link to the Committee's revised guidance. Along with the Committee's report and the Secondary Legislation Scrutiny Committee's report Government by Diktat: A call to return power to Parliament (HL 105), the guide was circulated to all officials in Whitehall responsible for preparing and passing primary legislation.</p><p>The Guide to Making Legislation is usually updated annually and I have asked the responsible officials to consider how to best express in the Guide the different procedures, practices and challenges posed by legislating in the House of Commons and the House of Lords. I hope very much that in that process officials will take carefully into account points made by Your Lordships in what was an important debate.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord True question first answered 10/02/2023 14:11:04 answering member 4200 label Biography information for Lord True

	uin	HL5148
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2023 answer text <p>We are longstanding supporters of The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). I reinforced this message during a visit to a UK donor funded school facing demolition on 12 January. We are aware that the agency has faced funding shortfalls in recent years, which has made it even more challenging to continue service delivery. On 22 September 2022 in New York, I attended a Ministerial dialogue on UNRWA's financial situation where I reiterated UK support for the agency and the need for the international community to support it to be on a more viable financial footing. In FY 2022/2023, the UK provided UNRWA with £18.7 million, including £13 million for UNRWA's Programme Budget for spend in OPTs, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria; £2 million for work in Gaza and £3.7 million for food assistance - both under UNRWA's OPTs Emergency Appeal.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 10/02/2023 14:56:38 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
