All applicants to the scheme, where they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the legislation, must accept the terms and conditions of the prepaid card at the point of application. As the prepaid card is a financial product and cannot be issued without the applicant accepting these terms, the NHS Business Services Authority cannot automatically provide eligible families with a prepaid card.</p> answering member printed Lord Kamall question first answered 20/07/2022 16:54:50 answering member 4909 label Biography information for Lord Kamall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2021 answer text <p>Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom, and its consumers should be able to enjoy products they have bought from Great Britain. Our biosecurity standards remain as high as they always have done, and these goods remain entirely safe for NI consumers to enjoy. The Government has seen no evidence of chilled meats moved from Great Britain finding their way onto the EU market.</p><p>We welcome the fact that we have been able to agree an extension of the grace period on chilled meats moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. This means that Northern Ireland consumers will be able to continue to buy chilled meat products from Great Britain, and allows for further discussions to continue on a permanent solution without requiring the UK to dynamically align with EU rules.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Frost grouped question UIN HL1346 HL1347 HL1348 HL1349 question first answered 08/07/2021 10:41:02 answering member 4879 label Biography information for Lord Frost

Decisions about the Strategic Projects Team (SPT) are, however, for NHS England. Following an internal review and the NAO report, NHS England identified concerns about the work of the SPT.

tabling member printed	Baroness Uddin
uin	HL1345
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/08/2014 answer text <p>We continue to raise our strong concerns about reports of rape and sexual violence in Burma with senior members of the Burmese government and military. The Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), met Deputy Foreign Minister U Thant Kyaw during the Global Summit to End Sexual Violence in Conflict on 13 June 2014. He publicly stated that Burma’s attendance at the Summit was a signal of their support to the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI) and readiness to take action against perpetrators, including members of the military. We welcomed the Burmese government’s attendance at the Summit and have made clear that concrete action is needed, including a credible action plan that involves the military. Our Ambassador has also raised this with U Thant Kyaw following the Summit.</p><p>It is our view that the investigation of human rights abuses in Burma is the responsibility of the Burmese government. We have made clear to the Burmese government that all allegations of human rights abuses must be dealt with through clear, independent and transparent investigative and prosecutorial processes which meet international standards.</p> answering member printed Baroness Warsi question first answered 04/08/2014 11:04:59 answering member 3839 label Biography information for Baroness Warsi
