answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2022 answer text <p>The Libyan Asset Recovery and Management Office (LARMO) is working to repossesses Libyan assets that were stolen by the Qadhafi regime before and during the 2011 revolution. A LARMO representative met with officials from the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office on 26 October to discuss potential options for the future of any recovered assets, with reference to the ongoing assets freeze. FCDO officials reminded LARMO that UN Security Council Resolution 1970 (2011) makes clear that the aim of the Libya asset freeze is to ensure that the frozen funds are preserved until such a time as they can be made available to, and for the benefit of, the people of Libya. Any amendments to the asset freeze will require consensus at the UN Security Council and will be judged against this goal.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL3695 HL3696 question first answered 07/12/2022 13:49:52 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

The appeal of gambling adverts to children and young persons on twitter, published on 26 October; and particularly the findings that (1) the majority of gambling advertisements were twice as likely to appeal to children as older adults, and (2) nearly half of children and almost three quarters of young people saw gambling adverts on Twitter almost once per week

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2021 answer text <p>The Government is carrying out a Review of the Gambling Act 2005 and is looking closely at the evidence regarding the impacts of allowing operators to advertise, including on social media. It will consider the research conducted by Bristol University carefully as part of that Review.</p><p>All gambling advertising, wherever it appears, is subject to strict controls on content and placement. Gambling operators advertising online, including on social media, must abide by the advertising codes issued by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) and the Gambling Commission may take enforcement action against them if they do not. The CAP consulted earlier this year on proposals to strengthen the codes and further limit the presence of gambling adverts for the protection of children and vulnerable people. Changes to safeguard vulnerable adults were announced this summer, and the full outcome is to be announced before the end of the year.</p><p>Following work with the Gambling Commission, the industry has also committed to make better use of advertising technology to target adverts away from children on social media. The Gambling Industry Code for Socially Responsible Advertising now requires operators to ensure paid-for advertising is targeted only at those over 25 years old on social media and to age-gate operator YouTube channels and content.</p><p>The Government is also looking more broadly at how online advertising is regulated through the Online Advertising Programme, which will be launching a public consultation this year. Our aim is to foster fair, accountable and ethical online advertising that works for individuals, businesses and society as a whole.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay grouped question UIN HL3695 question first answered 17/11/2021 15:38:35 answering member 4728 label Biography information for Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2017 answer text <p>The 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review stated that one of the Royal Navy's two Landing Platform Docks would in future be placed at low readiness while the other is held at very high readiness for operations. HMS ALBION and HMS BULWARK have, accordingly, alternated in the low and high readiness profile since 2010. HMS ALBION recently exited her five-year period of low readiness following a successful regeneration programme and is now undertaking operational sea training.</p><p>On current plans, the decommissioning dates for HMS ALBION and HMS BULWARK are 2033 and 2034 respectively. Speculation about the potential outcome of the National Security Capability Review is exactly that: speculation.</p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 06/12/2017 15:36:36 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
