answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/02/2024 answer text <p>The changes to the financial promotion exemptions that came into force on 31 January 2024 were subject to a public consultation which closed in March 2022. Impacts of the proposals were considered, and a consultation response and de minimis impact assessment were published alongside the final reforms. The changes made aimed to both reduce the risk of consumer detriment and preserve the ability of SMEs to raise finance under the exemptions.</p><p>However, the Government recognises the significant concerns that have been raised recently about these changes. The Economic Secretary met last week with the angel investing sector and listened carefully to the representations made, and the Government is working closely with the sector to address the concerns raised.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton grouped question UIN HL1954 question first answered 08/02/2024 11:54:51 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

uin	HL2040
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government is disappointed at recent action by Mauritius in seeking a UN General Assembly resolution requesting “an advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice on the legal consequences of the separation of the Chagos Archipelago from Mauritius in 1965”. We believe this is an inappropriate use of the International Court of Justice advisory opinion mechanism and sets an unwelcome precedent for other bilateral disputes. Whilst we are disappointed that this item has been added to the UNGA agenda, we are pleased that discussions at UNGA will be deferred until at least June 2017 in order to allow for bilateral discussions with Mauritius. We are hopeful that we can reach an agreed way forward through such bilateral discussions.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 12/10/2016 16:31:21 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
