uin	HL9800
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/08/2018 answer text <p>In my response to previous questions by the Noble Lord, I noted that a lessons learnt process had taken place following the 2017 hurricane season involving a range of Departments of Her Majesty's Government, led by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). To protect the integrity of this and future lessons learnt processes, the FCO does not propose to make the results externally available. However, the progress made by Departments against actions identified in the lessons learnt exercise was made available to the House in the form of a Written Ministerial Statement on 4 July. On 16 July I held a &quot;drop-in&quot; session for Members of both Houses to discuss hurricane preparation and recovery.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 07/08/2018 12:00:37 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Williams of Trafford on 12 April (HL6775) stating that "all opportunities to supply passports or their components for EU governments must comply with the EU Procurement Directives", whether (1) France, (2) Germany, (3) Italy, and (4) Spain, are exempt from those directives.
tabling member printed	Lord Naseby
uin	HL7525
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>All EU member states are bound by EU Procurement Directives, and companies within the member states would have the opportunity to bid for the work as and when the government puts it out to tender.</p><p>If the service is available from a state owned company, then an exemption to running a tender with private companies applies. There is no state owned UK passport company, and therefore this exemption does not apply. It is not for the UK Government to comment on whether France, Germany, Italy or Spain has opted to apply for such an exemption.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 14/05/2018 16:03:40 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
