answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2023 answer text <p>The Government’s most recent assessment of progress towards meeting its active travel goals was set out in the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS) report to Parliament in July 2022, a copy of which is available in the House Libraries. The most recent National Travel Survey statistics for 2021 show that the number of walking stages per person per year fell to 279 stages following impacts from the pandemic. The previous (CWIS1) objective of 300 stages per person had consistently been achieved from 2015 to 2019, with an average of 331 stages per person per year across this period, which is why the objective was made more ambitious in CWIS2. The latest statistics for 2022 are due to be published in September 2023, and the Department will provide a further assessment in its next report to Parliament in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/06/2023 07:53:28 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/09/2022 answer text <p>While most countries have now relaxed Covid restrictions, China continues to operate a &quot;zero-Covid policy&quot; across the whole country which frequently results in large scale lockdowns in response to relatively low numbers of cases.</p><p>More broadly, we continue to monitor the ongoing human rights violations in Xinjiang. In response the UK has led international efforts to pressure China to change its behaviour. We have imposed sanctions, led joint statements at the UN, taken action to tackle forced labour in supply chains, funded research to expose China's actions, and consistently raised China's human rights violations at the highest levels in Beijing.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 30/09/2022 09:47:09 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/10/2022 answer text <p>The UK has condemned the Myanmar military regime's executions of four pro-democracy and opposition leaders as reprehensible acts of violence. We have raised the lack of transparency and due process in the sentencing of the individuals, and continue to call on the military not to use the death penalty against other pro-democracy activists. Both the British Embassy in Yangon and the former Minister for Asia have made it clear the UK stands against the death penalty in all circumstances and advocates for its abolition worldwide.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/10/2022 11:50:27 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/09/2022 answer text <p>We continue to work closely with the National Unity Government (NUG) and a range of other pro-democracy actors. The NUG is an important voice for many people in Myanmar and we strongly support all those calling for a return to democracy. The former Minister for Asia met with Dr Zaw Wai Soe, the NUG's Minister for Health and Education on 24th May. Dr Zaw Wai Soe also met with another minister, parliamentarians and officials during his trip to the UK. During the meetings we emphasised the UK's condemnation of the coup and highlighted our ongoing efforts to respond to the crisis. The former Minister for Asia also spoke to Daw Zin Mar Aung, the NUG's Foreign Minister on 7 March. We will continue to support those who are helping to protect civic space and human rights to sustain the foundations for democracy and build a common vision for the future.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 28/09/2022 13:33:18 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
