answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>The UK consistently calls on the Colombian Government to ensure that all groups, including indigenous groups and civil society, are able to participate in the proper implementation of the Peace Process and their National Action Plan. Successive UK-drafted UN Security Council press statements have called for the Colombian Government to work closely with civil society. In the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State's (Americas and the Caribbean) high level dialogue with Foreign Minister Leyva during his visit to Colombia in November, he reiterated the UK's commitment to continuing to support the peace process.</p><p>To date, we have spent over £74 million through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF) to support the implementation of the peace agreement in Colombia and improve stability and security. We will continue to work with Colombia, including through the UNSC and encourage the Colombian Government to strengthen the institutions that can improve the security of all its citizens and investigate and prosecute the criminal actors responsible for violence.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 20/12/2022 17:46:40 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have broadcast advertisements to warn the public, in particular those who are vulnerable, of scams related to the COVID-19 pandemic; if not, why not; and what plans they have to provide advice about how to avoid becoming a victim of such scams.
tabling member printed	Lord Rosser
uin	HL3998
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2020 answer text <p>The government has not broadcast advertisements to specifically raise awareness of scams related to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, there are a number of initiatives and public information campaigns aimed at tackling scams and disinformation connected with the pandemic.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Rapid Response Unit, operating from within the Cabinet Office and No10, is tackling a range of harmful narratives online - from purported ‘experts’ issuing dangerous misinformation to criminal fraudsters running phishing scams. Up to 70 incidents a week, often false narratives containing multiple misleading claims, are being identified and resolved. The successful ‘Don’t Feed the Beast’ public information campaign has also relaunched, to empower people to question what they read online.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>HMG believes the best way to ensure the public’s safety is to make sure that they know how to protect themselves – which is why we have been communicating both through our own channels, and using partner organisations like Trading Standards, the Financial Conduct Authority and working with all the major banks, so that the public know how to spot a scam and protect themselves from them. We have recently launched a GOV.UK page on coronavirus related fraud and cybercrime including easy-to-follow steps for people to better protect themselves as well as signposting all relevant advice and tips. This page can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-fraud-and-cyber-crime" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-fraud-and-cyber-crime</a>.</p><p>In order to avoid falling victim to misinformation, we encourage the public to continue to check GOV.UK, where up to date guidance can be found, as well as watch the daily briefings on the government's response to COVID-19, which are broadcast live.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 03/06/2020 11:10:55 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2017 answer text <p>Departments and organisations across government work actively and collaboratively to tackle sites that offer government services for additional charges. These third party sites commonly operate by offering a call connection or application checking service. Such sites purport to add additional value to the public users of the sites.</p><p>As well as ensuring government services are correctly listed and rank highly in search engine results, limiting the likelihood that the public will encounter misleading websites, government organisations proactively take steps to have misleading websites amended or taken down. This is done by contacting the website owners directly, reporting misleading sites to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and National Trading Standards (NTS) bodies, and taking legal action.</p><p><a href="http://gov.uk/" target="_blank">GOV.UK</a> remains the best place to find government information and services.</p> answering member printed Lord Young of Cookham question first answered 19/12/2017 13:47:06 answering member 57 label Biography information for Lord Young of Cookham

tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL3998
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2016 answer text <p>We want all children to leave primary school able to swim. Swimming is not only an excellent form of physical activity but also a life-saving skill. This is why swimming and water safety is compulsory in the national curriculum for PE at key stages 1 and 2.</p><p> </p><p>We do not hold information on the percentage of primary schools without access to swimming pools. While many schools enjoy excellent links to local facilities we do know that some primaries struggle to access local pools.</p><p> </p><p>To help look into this and other issues that hinder the teaching of high quality swimming lessons, the Government has established a working group to advise on how to ensure no child leaves primary school unable to swim. The group is supported by the Amateur Swimming Association and includes sector experts, and will be presenting their recommendations in the new year.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 20/12/2016 15:55:27 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
