answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2020 answer text <p><strong>Following the change to date for answer of this PQ, I submitted a response by email on 26 March, with the following response. The Table Office have agreed this approach.</strong></p><p>On 13 March, our High Commissioner to Georgetown released a third joint statement with Heads of Missions of the Embassy of the United States of America, the Canadian High Commission, and the Delegation of the European Union, expressing our deep concern over events following the elections in Guyana on 2 March. On 24 March the Foreign Secretary issued his second statement noting that transition of government should only take place in line with transparent and democratic principles that lead to credible results. He stated that any government sworn in on the basis of non-credible results will face strong international condemnation. We call upon the President to ensure that proper procedures are followed before embarking upon a transition of government and we stand ready, alongside the international community, to assist in ensuring a credible process that provides the democratic outcome that the Guyanese people deserve.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 21/04/2020 06:45:03 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2020 answer text <p>The UK has not made any representations to the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) about plans for a Formula One race in Saudi Arabia, as this is a matter between the FIA and the Saudi Arabian Government. The UK and Saudi Arabia have a longstanding bilateral relationship, based on a number of pillars including trade; investment; defence; security; energy; and shared concerns about regional issues. No aspect of our relationship with Saudi Arabia prevents us from speaking frankly about human rights. We raise concerns regularly with the Saudi Arabian authorities through Ministerial and diplomatic channels, including our Ambassador and our Embassy in Riyadh.</p> answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly question first answered 26/02/2020 15:15:57 answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly previous answer version 7979 answering member constituency Braintree answering member printed James Cleverly answering member 4366 label Biography information for James Cleverly

The Treaty encourages States to record imports, but does not create an obligation to do so. Therefore we do not consider that there is an obligation subsequently to report on imports. We regularly review our approach and do not plan changes at this time.
