The performance standard for ambulance trusts responding to Category A calls is that an ambulance resource should arrive within eight minutes of the call 75% of the time.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We understand that this year to date (1 April 2014 -28 November 2014) the London Ambulance Service has achieved a response rate to \u2018category A\u2019 calls in Westminster of 69.58%.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are providing extra support to the National Health Service \u2013 including £50 million to help ambulance trusts with additional demand and help them to return to meeting the standard as quickly as possible.<\/p>

The overall level of scientific procedures is determined by a number of factors including the economic climate and global trends in scientific endeavour. As the regulator, the Home Office ensures that a proper balance between animal welfare and scientific advancement is maintained which is achieved through a harm-benefit analysis.

The increase in procedures is primarily due to breeding to produce genetically altered animals. A comparison of breeding to produce such animals with other primary purposes, from 1995 to 2012, can be found in Figure 2, page 11 of the Annual Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals Great Britain 2012, a copy of which is in the House Library (HC549).

Details of the areas of research and the species of animals used are published annually in the Annual Statistics of Scientific Procedures on Living Animals Great Britain, copies of which are also in the House Library. The publication of statistics for Northern Ireland is a matter for the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety in Northern Ireland, which separately publishes Northern Irish statistics.

In 2010, the Coalition Government made a commitment to work to reduce the use of animals in scientific research and our Delivery Plan has now been published and can be found on the GOV.UK website by searching for the document entitled, "Working to reduce the use of animals in research: delivery plan". The commitment is being delivered through a science-led programme, much of which is led by the National Centre for Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animals in Research (NC3Rs), an organisation with a strong record in reducing animal use.

The Government is committed to reducing the use of animals in research and the Delivery Plan shows how alternative methods can deliver fast, high quality research that also boosts economic growth.

Setting a target for the reduction in the use of animals would be flawed. We are wary of targets which we cannot control, but we do set criteria that can be controlled. In addition, if animals of a lower sentience are used then that may increase numbers.<\/p>

There is no regulation in place that specifically covers the way probate researchers operate or the fees they charge beneficiaries.<\/p>

<\/p>

Relationships between probate researchers and their clients are normally contractual arrangements and subject to contract law.<\/p>

All requests to Spanish authorities by any nation for a military over flight that has Gibraltar as a departure or arrival airfield, is routinely denied by Spanish authorities. We make clear to the Spanish government that this is not the sort of arrangement close allies should have to manage.

The military aircraft that routinely fly to Gibraltar are the Hercules C130 and C17 Globemaster. The difference in cost of a direct flight to Gibraltar from, for example, RAF Brize Norton and a route not overflying Spain is as follows.

C130 - £2,600 each way
C17 - £4,900 each way

It should be noted that Spanish authorities are swift and cooperative in allowing our military aircraft to pass through Spanish airspace to any other destination. The refusal to use their airspace to access Gibraltar is an irritant that we have managed since the 1980s, and is set against an otherwise productive defence relationship between our two countries.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3428", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Astor of Hever"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Astor of Hever"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-06-18T16:49:24.4141749Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-06-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Gibraltar: Spain"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government why Royal Air Force aircraft flying to Gibraltar cannot fly over Spain; what cost that adds to the flight; and what representations they have made to the government of Spain about the restriction.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1000", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Hoyle"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Hoyle"} ], "uin" : "HL40"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/57568", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/57568/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
