answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2022 answer text <p>The category of “non-binary” was added to the search function on the Parliamentary website in December 2019. The request arose from analysis of candidates standing for election to the House of Commons in the General Election of that month, and then agreed on a bicameral basis. The addition of a non-binary option to the underlying bicameral Members database meant that the option became available as a search option on the webpages of both Houses.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 07/06/2022 13:59:43 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

With our allies, we are and continue to impose the largest and most severe economic sanctions that Russia has ever faced, focusing on measures that have the greatest impact rather than the quantity. It is not appropriate to speculate on specific designations in the future. To do this could reduce the impact of the designations.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 30/05/2022 10:56:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
