answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>Future funding and programming arrangements for the Overseas Territories post-2020 will be considered as part of the next Spending Review which is expected to take place in 2019. When reviewing future options careful consideration will be given to any loss of European Union funding the Overseas Territories may experience as a result of the UK leaving the European Union. Any future funding arrangements will need to demonstrate value for money and adopt a consistent approach across all government departments that manage such funds. No decisions have yet been taken on this matter.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/02/2019 13:10:05 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

tabling member printed	Lord Howell of Guildford
uin	HL2363
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2016 answer text The Government is aware of the ongoing border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela. This is a bilateral issue to be resolved between the two countries. We believe the 1899 Arbitral Award, to which we were a party, definitively settled the border. Both countries are signatories of the Geneva Agreement of 1966 which provides a range of mechanisms for dealing with this issue. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/10/2016 14:29:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Anelay of St Johns on 5 February (HL4559), whether they consider it to be in the interests of the United Kingdom to remain in the European Union in its existing form of membership.
tabling member printed	Lord Tebbit
uin	HL4946
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2015 answer text <p>The UK’s membership of the European Union brings many benefits to the UK, including jobs and investment, free access to the largest common market in the world and a strong collective voice to negotiate free trade agreements. EU Membership also gives the UK greater international influence on global threats such as climate change and Ebola. The Government’s position remains clear: the EU must reform to become more competitive, democratically accountable and fair for those inside and outside the Eurozone. The need for reform is widely recognised among EU Member States and the Government has already shown that it is possible, through our success in cutting the EU budget, reforming the Common Fisheries Policy, reducing the burden of EU regulation on business and ending the UK’s bailout obligations.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 25/02/2015 15:07:53 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL4105
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>As the Prime Minister, my right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr Cameron), has said, Assad has been one of Daesh’s most effective recruiting sergeants. His regime’s brutal suppression of the Syrian people, including through the use of chemical weapons, has created the chaos and instability in which Daesh has been able to thrive. Defeating Daesh will require action on a number of fronts including, ultimately, a political transition to a new Syrian government which is able to protect the Syrian people and with whom the international community can partner against Daesh.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 10/12/2015 15:03:11 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
