The UK monitors closely acquisition and use by states and terrorists of chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) materials. We work with our partners to uphold the Chemical Weapons Convention, the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Security Material. The UK's 2021 Presidency of the Global Partnership Against the Spread of Weapons and Materials of Mass Destruction (GP) generated funding and practical support to institutions which counter the CBRN threat. The UK has supported activity under UN Security Council Resolution 1540 on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction to terrorists and other non-state actors.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4366", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cleverly"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Braintree"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cleverly"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-02-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-02-04T14:14:55.48Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-02-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Terrorism: Weapons of Mass Destruction"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking in response to the finding of the Integrated Review that it is likely that a terrorist group will launch a successful chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear weapon attack by 2030.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4656", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Layla Moran"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oxford West and Abingdon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Layla Moran"} ], "uin" : "116031"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1418670", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1418670/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Department does not hold data on the length of time spent by hauliers waiting to board a ferry at Dover. The Port of Dover operates a \u2018turn up and go service\u2019 meaning HGVs will be placed on to the first available ferry when they arrive at the Port. There may be an occasion when hauliers have to wait which may be due to peak periods of traffic at the Port. The Kent Resilience Forum (KRF) is responsible for traffic management in Kent.<\/p>
