uin	169278
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>New Immigration Rules were announced on 15 June that enable Turkish business persons, workers and their family members who are in the UK under the European Communities Association Agreement (ECAA) to apply for indefinite leave to remain (ILR). The new rules which took effect from 6 July, mean that Turkish workers and business persons can now apply to settle in the UK after five years’ residence as an ECAA business person or ECAA worker (or in equivalent Points Based System routes, as long as the most recent period of leave was under the ECAA).</p><p>In the case of <em>Aydogdu, </em>the Upper Tribunal confirmed that the ECAA “standstill clause” under which 1973 Immigration Rules are applied to Turkish businesspersons did not apply to ILR in the UK, as ILR is not necessary to give effect to the UK’s obligations under the ECAA. The Government does not intend to extend transitional provisions to those Turkish business persons resident in the UK but who did not apply for settlement before 16 March 2018 because it is open to them either to apply for ILR under the new rules, or to extend their limited leave to remain as an ECAA business person free of charge.</p> answering member constituency Romsey and Southampton North answering member printed Caroline Nokes question first answered 11/09/2018 11:59:53 answering member 4048 label Biography information for Caroline Nokes

tabling member constituency	Brighton, Pavilion
tabling member printed	Caroline Lucas
uin	160730
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2018 answer text <p>Naloxone is a prescription-only medicine and it is on this basis that any new nasal naloxone products would be available when brought to the United Kingdom market. Under regulations that came into force in October 2015, people employed or engaged in the provision of drug treatment services can, as part of their role, supply naloxone that has been obtained by their drug service to others, as long as it is supplied for the purpose of being available to save life in an emergency. A prescription is not needed for the naloxone to be supplied in this way.</p><p> </p><p>There has been no formal assessment of the decision of the European Medicines Agency to approve nasal forms of naloxone, however, officials from the Department, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and Public Health England (PHE) continue to work together to identify the best available legislative option to enable nasal naloxone to be provided on the same basis as injectable naloxone.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities are responsible for commissioning drug treatment services and interventions to reduce drug-related harm, including naloxone, based on local need. PHE continues to provide advice and support to local authorities on expanding naloxone provision.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 160729 question first answered 11/07/2018 11:32:10 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

uin	158982
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2018 answer text <p>As I announced on 19 June, the Government is undertaking a two-phase review looking at the scheduling of cannabis. Part one of the review considered international evidence for the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of cannabis and cannabis based medicinal products. Professor Dame Sally Davies, who also serves as the Chief Medical Advisor to the Government and Chief Medical Officer for England, took this forward independently.</p><p>This part of the review is now complete and the report was published on 3 July. Also on 3 July, the Home Secretary commissioned the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) to undertake part two of the Review. Supported by the Home Office and the Department of Health and Social Care, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs will consider the appropriate schedule for cannabis related products, based on the balance of harms and public health requirements. The ACMD will not reassess the evidence issued by Professor Dame Sally Davies.</p><p>I can confirm that my department has not received any representations from pharmaceutical companies on the use of medicinal cannabis in the last two years. In the last 12 months, the Home Office has discussed the potential use of Epidiolex as an alternative option for treatment with the manufacturer, GW Pharmaceuticals.</p><p>Given the Home Office’s role leading on regulatory governance it is not for the department to provide funding for multi-centre trials on the medicinal and therapeutic benefits of cannabis and cannabis-based products.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 158981 158983 158984 158985 question first answered 09/07/2018 16:02:51 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
