Systems that are designed to identify people as targets based on only biometrics, and perceived gender, race, and age are very unlikely to comply with the requirements of International Humanitarian Law.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 15/11/2022 14:00:13 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/05/2020 answer text <p>The British government is committed to upholding international sanctions on North Korea and is working with partners to curtail North Korea's illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. The UK is concerned about North Korea's evasion of UN sanctions, including ship-to-ship transfers of unrefined petroleum and the illicit maritime export of commodities. Our assessment is that it is highly likely that North Korea has breached the cap in oil imports permitted under UN Security Council resolutions, and we have raised our concerns with UN Security Council members.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 05/05/2020 11:05:57 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

A progress report on the development of the indicator will be published by June 2024.</p><p> </p><p>Improving soil health and monitoring changes over time is a priority for government. The E7 indicator for soil health in England will use comprehensive data on soil characteristics (physical, chemical, and biological) and land use to show how different soils are contributing to different ecosystem services as a measure of soil health. Towards the end of financial year 2022/2023, we began national soil monitoring under the Natural Capital Ecosystem Assessment (NCEA) programme. The data will inform ambitious, proactive, and sustainable policy decisions to support the government's goal to improve the state of the environment within a generation.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 20/03/2024 15:35:11 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
