uin	HL2823
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/03/2024 answer text <p>On 23 February, the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) expressed its concern about the growing financial connectivity of Russia with countries subject to countermeasures, namely North Korea and Iran, and the potential risks of proliferation financing, malicious cyber activities and ransomware attacks.</p><p>The UK’s recent joint statement (12 January 2024) is clear that Russia’s procurement of North Korean ballistic missiles and their use against Ukraine violate multiple UNSCRs. Actively facilitating the circumvention of UNSCR 1718 and violating its prohibitions undermines the global fight against proliferation, the UN sanctions regime, and consequently the financial sanctions requirements of the FATF standards. The UK will continue to call out Russia’s violation of UNSCRs both at the UN and within the FATF.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 05/03/2024 12:28:19 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to improve the information given to users of wheelchair services as to (1) how, and (2) where, to (a) access services, and to (b) report feedback and concerns, as identified in the report by Frontier Economics, commissioned by Motability and the Wheelchair Alliance An Economic Assessment of Wheelchair Provision in England, published on 6 May.
tabling member printed	Lord Hunt of Kings Heath
uin	HL2823
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2022 answer text <p>NHS England has assessed the report by Frontier Economics and has compared the findings to existing policy and data requirements for wheelchair provision for integrated care boards (ICBs). ICBs are responsible for commissioning and providing wheelchair services for local populations, supported by NHS England. NHS England has established a national wheelchair dataset which reviews waiting times during care pathways to enable targeted action if improvements are required. It has also developed a wheelchair currency model for providers, commissioners and systems to understand complexities in patient populations and support commissioning using the currencies as an evidence base. The model also supports benchmarking across localities and nationally.</p><p>NHS England’s service specification for wheelchair services enables ICBs to review and improve local wheelchair services and the introduction of personal wheelchair budgets and legal rights offers a framework to commission personalised and integrated wheelchair services. ICBs are responsible for providing information on local provision of wheelchair services and providers have a responsibility to ensure that users can provide feedback and or raise concerns.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham grouped question UIN HL2820 HL2821 HL2822 question first answered 07/11/2022 12:03:07 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have (1) to reduce kilometres travelled by car by 20 per cent by 2030, (2) to end the sale of fossil fuel-powered cars and vans by 2030, (3) to end the sale of fossil fuel HGVs by 2035, and (4) to introduce road user charges.

uin	HL2823
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2021 answer text <p>Our recently published ‘Decarbonising Transport: A Better, Greener Britain’ committed to delivering the necessary emissions reductions in road transport to reach net zero by 2050. It is not about stopping people doing things. Rather, we want to drive the transition to electric vehicles and put in place a range of alternatives for people to make more sustainable journeys.</p><p>As part of this, we are phasing out the sale of new petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2030, and, from 2035, all new cars and vans must be zero emissions at the tailpipe. We are also consulting on phase out dates for the sale of new non-zero emission HGVs, which includes all fossil-fuelled HGVs, to ensure that our road freight fleet will be zero emission by 2050. The consultation closed on 3rd September and we are now considering responses.</p><p>Government has no current policy on introducing road user charges. As stated in the Transport Decarbonisation Plan, as we move forward with the transition to zero emission vehicles, we will need to ensure that the tax system encourages the uptake of EVs and that revenue from motoring taxes keeps pace with this change, to ensure we can continue to fund the first-class public services and infrastructure that people and families across the UK expect.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 14/10/2021 10:49:25 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
