answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>Condition 6 of Part 1 of the Schedule to the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010 requires the operator of a greyhound racing track to keep records for 10 years of details of any injuries sustained by greyhounds during a race, trial or sales trial. The records must be completed by the attending veterinary surgeon but there is no requirement on tracks to make this information available publicly. However, we would expect the injury records to be reviewed by the veterinary surgeon and track manager on a regular basis to determine if injury rates are changing. How these records are being used will be one of the issues looked at during the five-year review of the Regulations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 28/10/2014 14:08:04 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

uin	211379
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2014 answer text <p>The UK does not, and will not, recognise the illegal annexation of Crimea by Russia. Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea is a flagrant violation of a number of Russia’s international commitments, including under the UN Charter, the OSCE Helsinki Final Act and the 1997 Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet with Ukraine. That is why Russia has been isolated in the Security Council and in the wider international community.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 28/10/2014 15:09:13 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington
