The UK will provide assistance such as safe drinking water, food, medical care and shelter to people in need, as well as supporting Gender Based Violence protective services.

The UK is pursuing all diplomatic avenues to end the violence in Sudan, to de-escalate tensions and to secure humanitarian access.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 13/06/2023 16:18:03 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell

tabling member printed	Damien Moore
uin	186495
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2023 answer text <p>The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 underpins existing arrangements. It made the Lord Chief Justice the head of the judiciary and transferred to that office a number of judiciary-related functions previously vested in the office of Lord Chancellor. The Act therefore shared responsibilities for the administration of justice between the Lord Chancellor and the Lord Chief Justice, and it continues to provide the statutory footing for their partnership.</p><p> </p><p>The Act also created the independent Judicial Appointments Commission. The appointment of judges is in general a shared area of responsibility, though the Lord Chancellor and Lord Chief Justice have different roles at different levels of the judiciary.</p><p> </p><p>It is not a current priority to review the arrangements that resulted from the 2005 Act or to assess whether further legislative changes might be necessary. The Lord Chancellor remains committed to maintaining an effective partnership with the judiciary within the existing legal framework.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 01/06/2023 13:24:56 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer
