question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of (1) the extent to which Russian oligarchs have been able to acquire Republic of Cyprus nationality, (2) the extent to which such acquisitions enable those individuals to obtain visa-free access to the European Union, (3) whether EU arrangements highlight any inequity with which the EU treats the Turkish Cypriots on the island of Cyprus, and (4) whether Brexit will enable the UK to change its policies towards the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
tabling member printed	Lord Maginnis of Drumglass
uin	HL6044
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2018 answer text <p>The grant of nationality is exclusively a matter for individual states to decide in line with their law and procedures. Under EU law, any Cypriot holding a Republic of Cyprus passport enjoys equal rights of free movement in the EU, whether they are Greek or Turkish Cypriot origin. In line with the wider international community (except Turkey), the UK does not recognise the self-declared “Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus” as an independent state. Several UN Security Council Resolutions and other multilateral agreements also limit links between UK and the north. Our departure from the European Union does not alter our obligations in respect of such agreements. We continue to believe that a just and lasting settlement in Cyprus is the best means of resolving the difficulties caused by partition of the island.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 19/03/2018 17:55:13 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL6044
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2017 answer text <p>The Russian government has a poor record of respecting freedom of expression and enjoys a near monopoly over Russian language media across the post-Soviet region. This provides an avenue for the spreading of disinformation and propaganda.</p><p>Where media plurality exists such as that enjoyed by broadcasters in the UK, the impact is low. Russia Today, for example, has a limited audience share in the UK and we have judged that there is little to no impact measurable from its activity in the West.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 28/03/2017 16:17:16 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
