answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2021 answer text <p>On 17 May, the Minister of State for the Pacific and Environment, the Rt Hon Lord Zac Goldsmith, met with Honduran Secretary of State, Carlos Madero. They discussed Honduras' reconstruction plan, environmental issues, and vaccines. The UK provided immediate humanitarian support to Honduras in response to the devastation caused by storms Eta and Iota, which struck Central America in November 2020. The UK also contributed £1m to the International Red Cross for their post-hurricane relief efforts, and an additional £224k worth of relief items were delivered by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessel Argus. Honduras has so far received 200,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine through the COVAX mechanism. The UK is fully committed to COVAX as the best way to ensure global equitable access for priority vulnerable populations, and that is why we have donated more than £548 million to the process. The British Embassy in Guatemala City (non-Resident for Honduras) has regularly engaged with the Honduran government and the private sector about the impact of the pandemic, and storms Eta and Iota, including facilitating donations from GSK (1,000 inhalator chambers, and 1,844 boxes of Panadol) to the Honduran Government, and supporting communication between AstraZeneca and the Honduran Minister of Health.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 03/06/2021 12:47:01 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton

uin	7110
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/01/2020 answer text <p>There is no formal appeal mechanism for any offender following recall from licensed supervision in the community. Consequently, no recalled IPP prisoner is awaiting the outcome of an appeal against recall and the concept of a recalled prisoner awaiting the outcome of an appeal does not apply.</p><p> </p><p>However, whilst there is no appeal mechanism, every recalled Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) prisoners has a right to a review of his/her fresh period of detention on recall, and it falls to the independent Parole Board to undertake that review – that is, to assess when it is safe to re-release the recalled IPP prisoner into the community on licence. The Board is required to conduct post-recall reviews without undue delay, but there is no set maximum period within which a review must be completed.</p><p> </p><p>Officials on behalf of the Secretary of State refer the cases of recalled offenders to the Parole Board within 28 days of their return to custody; it is for the independent Parole Board to determine how and when reviews will be conducted. The timing of a review will depend on the nature and circumstances of each case, having particular regard to what information is necessary to conduct the full risk assessment required to determine whether the offender is safe to be re-released. Recalled offenders have the right to submit representations to the Parole Board, against the decision to recall them, as part of the review process.</p><p> </p><p>Public safety is the priority and the Parole Board may only direct release once it is satisfied that detaining the offender is no longer necessary for the protection of the public.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer grouped question UIN 7111 question first answered 28/01/2020 15:33:04 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>The information requested could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>We can provide an indication of the number of inaccessible courts during 2019 based on sites which have long-term access limitations due to a range of factors such as the building’s age, internal configuration or listed status. Our estimate is that of around 335 operational court and tribunal buildings, 26 were inaccessible to members of the general public with disabilities. We consider buildings to be inaccessible if they do not provide disabled users with both physical access to the court and the ability to access appropriate services in the building, for example disabled toilet facilities.</p><p> </p><p>HMCTS has a reasonable adjustments policy in place to accommodate those with particular access requirements. The modernisation and investment taking place across the justice system should mean that fewer people will need to attend court, as we make use of technology such as video-conferencing and online services. These provisions will reduce the need for people to attend a physical court building.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 04/11/2019 17:44:56 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2015 answer text The UK, in close coordination with the US and France, continues to support Nigeria and its neighbours in their fight against Boko Haram. The UK is providing a substantial package of UK military, intelligence and development support to Nigeria. We have also contributed £5 million to support efforts to establish a Multinational Joint Taskforce against Boko Haram. We are looking to expand our support to Nigeria even further. The Prime Minister has met President Buhari twice, including during the G7 Summit, to discuss how we could best help Nigeria win the fight against Boko Haram, including increasing UK Military Assistance to the region. The National Security Council has agreed that Nigeria will be a Foreign Policy priority and we have established a new cross Government unit dedicated to that task. answering member constituency Welwyn Hatfield answering member printed Grant Shapps question first answered 20/07/2015 15:18:27 answering member 1582 label Biography information for Grant Shapps
