tabling member printed	Lord Campbell-Savours
uin	HL7623
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2023 answer text <p>In the last 3 years, 1 export licence has been applied for and approved to Sudan that we have assessed as potentially useable in war conflict. The military goods in this licence were personal protective equipment for international humanitarian use and the value of the licence was £188,000. Please note that data from 1 January 2023 has not yet been published as Official Statistics by HM Government, therefore we have not included any information regarding applications processed from this date.</p><p>The Government assesses each export licence application against the Strategic Export Licensing Criteria and will not issue a licence where to do so would be inconsistent with the UK’s international obligations and commitments to respect arms embargoes and sanctions. The Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 include provisions for licensing military items when they are for use by the UN for peacekeeping and, or humanitarian purposes.</p> answering member printed The Earl of Minto question first answered 19/05/2023 12:12:35 answering member 4952 label Biography information for The Earl of Minto

uin	HL6846
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/04/2023 answer text <p>Addressing the threat from Russia to European security is the most pressing security and foreign policy priority in the short to medium term. China poses an epoch-defining and systemic challenge. We are therefore concerned by the deepening strategic partnership between China and Russia and the implications for an open and stable international order. Putin's war in Ukraine is a breach of international law, a violation of the UN Charter, and was condemned by an overwhelming majority of 141 member nations in the UN General Assembly (UNGA) resolution on 23 February 2023 - a resolution we were disappointed China chose to abstain on. As a P5 member, we expect China to stand up for Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity, and uphold its commitment to the principles of UN Charter - principles that underpin Zelenskyy's peace plan.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 12/04/2023 08:25:33 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have made an assessment of the effects of (1) vehicle speeds, and (2) journey times, on emissions in urban areas; and if so, whether higher (a) vehicle speeds, or (b) journey times, have a greater effect on emissions levels.
tabling member printed	Lord Campbell-Savours
uin	HL4932
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government has commissioned studies to assess the impact of vehicle speed on emissions, for example undertaking a high-resolution emission modelling approach to understand changes in vehicle speeds and how it relates to emissions. The Department uses the best available evidence to model emissions in urban areas, including evidence linking vehicle speeds with emissions based on international guidelines. The evidence is that the factors influencing emissions are complex and the relative impact of vehicle speed, acceleration/deceleration and distance travelled (which are all related to journey times), will vary depending on the local situation.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Government’s Joint Air Quality Unit helps local authorities to calculate NOx emissions in their local areas using outputs from traffic models, which use a range of parameters including speed and distance travelled (which influence journey time) and the number of vehicles. The results of these parameters are contained in their Full Business Cases which are all published documents.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 03/02/2023 15:03:29 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
