question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to review existing research on earthworms with particular regard to the impact of slug pellets on earthworms and small birds, especially thrushes.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL13985
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2019 answer text <p>Slug pellets are regulated as pesticides. This means that they may only be sold and used if scientific risk assessments find no harmful effect on people and no unacceptable effects on the environment. Possible effects on wildlife (including earthworms and birds) are considered as part of the environmental assessment. Regulatory decisions are regularly reviewed so that safety can be reassessed using the latest data and scientific knowledge.</p><p> </p><p>A recent review of the substance metaldehyde raised concerns about risks to birds and mammals; the use of slug pellets containing metaldehyde is therefore being phased out. Other slug pellets are based on ferric phosphate; the latest risk assessment of this substance concluded that it met all the safety requirements, including those relating to earthworms and birds.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 06/03/2019 13:04:29 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what is their most recent assessment of the conditions for refugees and migrants (1) detained in Libya, and (2) prevented from crossing the Mediterranean; and what plans they have, if any, to improve those conditions.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL13989
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK Government remains deeply concerned about the conditions for refugees and migrants in detention centres in Libya. These centres are the responsibility of the Libyan authorities, which is why we continue to urge the Libyan authorities to pursue alternatives to detention, and to put in place a better functioning migration system that respects human rights. Where possible, UK aid provides humanitarian support to vulnerable migrants and refugees held in the centres, through the provision of blankets, clothes and legal assistance. In addition, we are working with the European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) to improve the conditions for migrants in detention centres.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>These efforts form part of our approach to help protect migrants on route to and inside Libya. As part of our £75 million migration programme covering the whole route from West Africa via the Sahel to Libya, we have allocated up to £5 million towards humanitarian assistance and protection for migrants and refugees in Libya. The UK is also supporting assisted voluntary returns, helping to tackle people smuggling, and working intensively to support the political process to end the conflict in Libya.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 04/03/2019 14:52:47 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
