The United Kingdom has been clear on the need for a robust, transparent and science-led review into the origins of COVID-19 and continues to support the World Health Organization expert studies into the origins of COVID-19, which should include field research in China and other countries to understand how it started and spread. We recognise that there are questions that need to be answered about the origin and spread of COVID-19, so we can ensure we are better prepared for future pandemics.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4948", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Markham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Markham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-03-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-03-16T13:52:22.977Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-03-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Coronavirus"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the origins of COVID-19, in the light of the statement made by the FBI Director Christopher Wray on 28 February that \"the FBI has for quite some time now assessed that the origins of the pandemic are most likely a potential lab incident in Wuhan\".", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/259", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for The Marquess of Lothian"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "The Marquess of Lothian"} ], "uin" : "HL6121"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1421519", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1421519/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Home Office cannot identify how many victims of Daesh have been granted asylum in the UK since 2014 nor can we identify how many of these victims belonged to a religious minority. This data could only be obtained at disproportionate cost because it would require a manual search through individual records.<\/p>

However, the Home Office publishes figures on the number of people who have been granted asylum in the UK. This data can be found attached.<\/p>

The information requested is not held centrally by the Cabinet Office. This is the prerogative of individual departments.<\/p>

The Government has no objections to digital media companies running political advertising, provided it is transparent, and we are bringing forward proposals to increase transparency in this area.<\/p>

While it is possible to register to vote without a National Insurance number, the IER Digital Service uses National Insurance numbers provided by electoral registration applicants to establish identity quickly and easily (applications are processed overnight). This in turn allows Electoral Registration Officers to complete the processing of applications as efficiently as possible. This is especially important in the run up to electoral events.<\/p>

The operation of the Digital Service shows that making use of National Insurance numbers in this way is effective. Of the 31,407,478 total applications received between 9 June 2014 and 19 February 2018 (the latest period for which we hold data), only 446,277 or 1.4 per cent were unverifiable. Unverifiable applications are those where an applicant has not provided all of the information necessary to verify their identity. This category therefore includes all those applications received without a National Insurance number. This means that at least 98.5 per cent of those people making an application through the Digital Service have been able to provide a National Insurance number.<\/p>

The small number of applicants who cannot provide a National Insurance number are still able to apply to register to vote. Applications without a National Insurance number are processed by the Digital Service and then passed to the local electoral administration team. The team will contact the applicant to provide proof of identity, such as a passport or driving licence. There is also an attestation process for people who cannot provide such alternative forms of ID.<\/p>

Projects that directly support freedom of religion or belief remain an important element of the Magna Carta Fund programme. In 2017/18 the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will spend £758,717 across six freedom of religion or belief projects. This equates to 7.2 percent of next year's Magna Carta Fund allocation and represents an increase on the funding awarded in 2016/17. This demonstrates Her Majesty's Government's continued commitment to supporting freedom of religion or belief worldwide.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Anelay of St Johns"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-03-30", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-03-30T14:58:26.663Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "16"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-03-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Religious Freedom"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government how much of the Magna Carta Fund for Human Rights and Democracy will be allocated in 2017\u201318 to projects on freedom of religion or belief.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4218", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Berridge"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Berridge"} ], "uin" : "HL6121"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/452174", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/452174/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
