answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2024 answer text <p>Network Rail has not undertaken an assessment of the impacts and social costs resulting from the continuing closure of the A420 (Botley Road) to deliver the Oxford station improvements. Network Rail is working to produce a plan to complete the works and re-open the road. When this has been finalised I propose to meet with stakeholders to discuss it. I wrote to you on 2 September and explained that Network Rail and Great Western Railway are executing a plan to mitigate the impacts of the road closure on those accessing the station and city centre, including persons with restricted mobility. I expect Network Rail to continue to promote Oxford as being open for business throughout this critical and challenging phase.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill grouped question UIN HL592 question first answered 16/09/2024 15:48:36 answering member 4972 label Biography information for Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking, together with international partners, to tackle acute child malnutrition across the world, and particularly in Afghanistan; and what assessment they have made of the UNICEF report Child Alert: Severe Wasting, published in May, which said that "a record 1.1 million children in Afghanistan are projected to need life-saving treatment for severe wasting this year, nearly double the number in 2018".
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/06/2022 answer text <p>The UK continues to be deeply concerned over the high levels of global acute child malnutrition, with over 60 million children expected to experience wasting in 2022. As highlighted in the recent UNICEF Child Alert, the UK has been at the forefront of tackling this devastating condition which not only takes lives but also leaves children with lifelong disabilities. The UK has historically been the largest funder for treatment of child wasting, providing roughly one quarter of all financing for wasting. In September 2020 the FCDO launched a 5-year partnership with UNICEF to drive improvements to the prevention and treatment of child wasting.</p><p>Levels of acute malnutrition in Afghanistan are particularly concerning, with 1.1 million children expected to require life-saving treatment for severe wasting this year. In response the UK has pledged a further £286 million for Afghanistan, the majority of which will go towards life-saving humanitarian assistance. A priority focus is emergency food assistance and nutrition services through key partners, including UNICEF and the World Food Programme. This support is expected to reach over 4 million people with a focus on vulnerable women and children.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 13/06/2022 15:54:26 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

uin	HL591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2021 answer text <p>I welcome the Vodafone report and the work of others to highlight the barriers some carers and parents face when balancing their care and work responsibilities. I met with female employees from Vodafone in May to hear about which initiatives have worked to support them, especially through the pandemic, and what challenges remain.</p><p>The Government recognises the vital role unpaid carers and parents play and has put a range of measures in place to help. In our manifesto we committed to extending the entitlement to leave for unpaid carers to one week. The Government has also funded 25 ‘returner programmes’ to support those with caring responsibilities back to work.</p><p>As we look to Build Back Better, increasing the take up of remote and flexible working will give more freedom and opportunity to people with caring responsibilities. In April the Government reconvened the Flexible Working Taskforce, tasking them to help employers build on the lessons we have learned through the pandemic to embed more flexible ways of working.</p><p>Strong digital connectivity is crucial in supporting more flexible working. This Government’s delivery of national gigabit connectivity means that today, over two in five premises can access gigabit-capable networks, up from just one in ten in November 2019. By the end of the year, 60% will have access, and by 2025 the Government is targeting a minimum of 85% gigabit-capable coverage. In rural areas we are investing £5bn to ensure those living in hard-to-reach areas get the gigabit connectivity they deserve.</p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 02/06/2021 13:21:16 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

uin	HL591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2020 answer text <p>We have repeatedly made clear to Israel our longstanding concerns about the way Israel Defense Forces police protests and the border areas, including the use of live ammunition. We did so most recently at the UN Security Council briefing and consultations on the Middle East Peace Process on 20 November. We call on Israel to adhere to the principles of necessity and proportionality when defending its legitimate security interest.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/01/2020 13:57:21 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
