tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL6308
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>Yemen has suffered from one of the worst cholera outbreaks ever recorded, at almost 1.1 million suspected cases. Although new cases have declined, cholera is likely to resurge during the upcoming rainy season. Estimates put 74% of districts (representing 22 million people) at risk.</p><p> </p><p>The reason that cholera, a treatable condition which stems from using contaminated water, is so difficult to control is because systems like public health and water and sanitation have broken down.</p><p> </p><p>DFID provided £8 million in the financial year 2017/18 to UNICEF and the International Organization for Migration for prevention, for example providing households with chlorine tablets for drinking water, and treatment for those who are affected. We are now encouraging the UN to have a robust preparedness plan for the upcoming rainy season and have helped to fund the planned cholera vaccination campaign through our core-funding to GAVI.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 27/03/2018 16:03:24 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

tabling member printed	Lord Freeman
uin	HL6308
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2016 answer text <p>The filters are changed in accordance with the manufacturer's routine maintenance schedules. It is in the operator's interest to change the filters in accordance with the schedule; with time the pores in the filters become congested with material.</p><p> </p><p>This congestion can increase the efficiency of the filter in removing particles from the air, but also increases the resistance to air flow. Therefore greater pressure and power is required to maintain the cabin air flow, which in turn increases fuel-burn and therefore costs.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 03/03/2016 12:34:46 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
