answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>As we said in a previous answer of 20 February 2018, UIN 126979, there is no accepted rail industry definition of ‘broken down’, and train-related incidents may be for a variety of reasons and durations together with a variety of journey implications. We are therefore unable to state how many ‘breakdowns’ have affected bi-mode trains since their introduction.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 07/03/2018 15:15:23 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>We are working with a wide range of countries to explore the best ways to develop our current trade and investment relationships and ensure that Britain becomes a global leader in free trade once we leave the EU. The Government has established working groups and high-level dialogues with a range of key trade partners to explore the mechanisms for liberalising trade. These range from mutual recognition agreements and the sort of outcome-based equivalence approach, recently advanced by the governor of the Bank of England, to being key members of multilateral agreements. We will consider multi-country alliances of the like-minded, right down to bilateral arrangements, using all the advantages available from our diplomatic network, to the system of Prime Ministerial Trade Envoys.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 07/03/2018 15:09:05 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text The UK has been clear that any solution to the conflict in the Donbas must be political not military and that the Minsk II Agreement provides a framework to resolve the conflict. Both sides need to be meeting their commitments under the Minsk agreements, but Russia remains fundamentally responsible for creating this conflict and continuing to maintain it through its political and material support for separatist forces. With respect to the recent law passed in Ukraine on Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories it is important to remember that Russia's territorial aggression in the Donbas and Crimea, and its broader efforts to undermine and destabilise Ukraine, represent a fundamental challenge to the rules-based international order and a threat to regional security. It is for the Ukrainian government to determine how it organises its response to this aggression. answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 07/03/2018 15:08:20 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2018 answer text <p>​The UK continues to support the French and German-led diplomatic efforts towards securing the implementation by all parties of the Minsk Agreements, including through our major commitment as the second largest contingency of monitors to the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission. Key to implementing the Minsk II Agreement is Russia recognising that it has signed up to commitments including the removal of heavy weapons and its military personnel from Ukraine. We continue to call on Russia to abide by its obligations.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 07/03/2018 15:15:41 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan
