This guidance stresses the importance of practical steps such as opening windows and doors; making sure small vents or grilles are open and not blocked; and ensuring that any mechanical ventilation system is working and maintained in line with manufacturers’ instructions. Ventilation systems should bring fresh air in and not recirculate indoor air. In workplaces and non-domestic settings, ventilation should be considered alongside other control measures to reduce the risk of COVID-19.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 10/12/2021 11:26:13 question first ministerially corrected 13/12/2021 19:04:40 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall attachment 1 file name Ventilation of indoor spaces to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) - GOV.UK.pdf title Ventilation of indoor spaces to stop the spread of previous answer version 38253 answering member printed Lord Kamall answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall attachment 1 file name Ventilation of indoor spaces to stop the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) - GOV.UK.pdf title Ventilation of indoor spaces to stop the spread of

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>UK funding for the World Health Organisation (WHO) and UNICEF is helping them work with governments to identify requirements and ensure supplies reach those in need, including the critical medical equipment for oxygen therapy. Ventilators are one part of a wider oxygen therapy package, as illustrated in the WHO emergency global supply chain catalogue.</p><p>Since mid-March, DFID’s Frontier Technologies Hub has been leading a project called COVIDaction in collaboration with the UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering, to identify frugal innovation in a range of COVID-19 areas, which included an early focus on ventilators and oxygen therapy, designed for emerging markets that can be used globally in the fight against COVID-19. Designs used in resource constrained environments could be adapted for rapid manufacturing because they are often easier and cheaper to build and are often designed to be operated without highly specialist medical training. This initial work has fed into the UK Ventilator Challenge and has also highlighted the importance that any ventilators used or manufactured locally for low resource developing countries healthcare systems, are proven as safe and effective for use for COVID-19 patients and meet the most recent WHO specifications and relevant medical device regulatory approvals.</p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/05/2020 10:50:58 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

tabling member printed	Baroness Deech
uin	HL3721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/12/2014 answer text The coalition, which includes a number of regional partners, as well as ‘western’ nations, takes every possible precaution to avoid civilian casualties, unlike the ISIL terrorists who show no respect for human rights or human life within the territory they control. Coalition targets are selected with the utmost care, the times of attack are carefully chosen and precision guided weapons are used. We are not aware of UK strikes causing civilian casualties. answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 23/12/2014 12:52:03 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
