answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2020 answer text <p>COVID-19 is the biggest threat this country has faced in a generation – and we are not alone. All over the world we are seeing the devastating impacts of this pandemic – to global health, economies and also more broadly. The UK is a global leader in supporting international efforts in the COVID-19 response, having already pledged £744 million in UK aid. The UK Government is taking decisive and co-ordinated action based on the science and evidence, to mitigate COVID-19’s primary and secondary impacts, both in the UK and in support of the poorest and most vulnerable in developing countries.</p><p>The UK Government’s domestic package of support in response to COVID-19 is one of the largest in the world. It provides a cash investment of £7 billion into the welfare system alone to support UK citizens through the current crisis – the biggest ever in Universal Credit.</p><p>The UK is also using its foreign aid budget and British expertise to stop the spread of COVID-19 internationally, build resilience in vulnerable countries, find a vaccine, new drugs and therapeutics as well as support the economic response. We are helping to prevent the poorest countries – which represent a quarter of the world’s population - from collapse by supporting their economies and access to skills and education.</p><p>By preventing the virus from spreading in the poorest countries, we will save millions of lives and reduce the risk of future waves of infection that could come to the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 14/05/2020 16:26:56 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

tabling member printed	Lord Bowness
uin	HL3702
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/12/2014 answer text <p>I refer the noble Lord to the written Ministerial Statement of 15 December 2014 on the outcomes of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation (OSCE) Basel Ministerial Council, made by the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Aylesbury (Mr Lidington), which I repeated in the House of Lords, Official Report, columns WS5-6. In the Statement, it was noted that a further Declaration was agreed on the continuation of the Helsinki +40 process. However, the process in 2014 has largely stalled due to the Ukraine crisis, with only limited discussion of possible efficiency measures. The incoming Serbian OSCE Chairmanship has a mandate to continue discussions. But it remains unclear how they can take the process forward while Russia continues to violate core OSCE principles. We continue to focus in the first place on restoring respect for, and implementation of, those commitments.</p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 22/12/2014 16:19:56 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
