Since 19 November, the Houthis have carried out a series of dangerous and destabilising attacks against commercial shipping in the Red Sea. Contrary to their claims, the Houthis have been targeting shipping with no connection to Israel, including British-flagged vessels.<\/p>
As of 17 January, the Joint Maritime Security Centre report that there have been 36 Houthi related incidents (Drone/Missile attack or near miss, Seizure, UAS Harassment, Suspicious Approach) in the Red Sea affecting 11 separate flag states. Vessels with British links were GALAXY LEADER; UNITY EXPLORER; AL MARROUNA; NUMBER 9; ARDMORE EXPLORER; NAVIG8 MONTIEL; GREEN TRADER; CMA CGM TAGE and one Red Ensign Group (REG-flagged vessel): SWAN ATLANTIC.<\/p>
HMS Diamond was first targeted by a Houthi attack on 9 January.<\/p>
We continue to work with our allies and partners to safeguard maritime security and navigation rights and freedoms in the Red Sea.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4531", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Berwick-upon-Tweed"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-22T16:04:55.117Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Red Sea: Piracy"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, which UK flagged vessels have been attacked by the Houthis since 7 October 2023.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4772", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kenny MacAskill"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Lothian"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kenny MacAskill"} ], "uin" : "9661"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1174390", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1174390/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Food Standards Agency (FSA) can provide recorded data from 2010 onwards detailing the number of instances of inaccurate/ineffective stunning which have occurred in the main categories of animals, in FSA approved slaughter premises in England and Wales. Each instance relates to an event that has been categorised as a serious or critical non-compliance on the welfare reporting systems used at that time. These figures do not reflect the number of animals involved.<\/p>
