answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/02/2024 answer text <p>To meet our obligations under Section 17 of the Retained EU Law Revocation and Reform (REUL) Act, the first REUL report included a comprehensive list of REUL which has been reformed and revoked and detailed our plans for forthcoming reform SIs. In addition, and to provide Parliament with further insight, the report provided an indication of Government's future roadmap for REUL reform for the whole period to June 2026, informed by reporting from government departments to the Department for Business and Trade (i.e Table 2). In many cases the reforms in the roadmap for future years, are still under development and so the full details of these reforms have not been included in this first report. As details of future reforms are finalised, the Government will provide updates every 6 months via future reports alongside updating the REUL dashboard.</p> answering member printed Lord Johnson of Lainston question first answered 23/02/2024 13:14:19 answering member 4949 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Lainston

This relates to hepatitis B, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis ACWY, yellow fever, tick-borne encephalitis, rabies and BCG.</p><p> </p><p>The consultation closed on 21 October. NHS England is currently analysing the responses it has received and will publish the final guidance in due course, which will ensure that, among other things, the principles of best practice on clinical prescribing are adhered to.</p><p> </p><p>In this consultation document, NHS England asked Public Health England (PHE) to conduct a review of travel vaccines currently available on the NHS to assess their appropriateness for prescribing on the NHS. This relates to diphtheria/tetanus/polio, typhoid, hepatitis A and cholera.</p><p> </p><p>PHE has not yet started this review. It will be an initial assessment of the need and value of a more in-depth look at travel vaccination policy.

uin	HL2363
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2016 answer text The Government is aware of the ongoing border controversy between Guyana and Venezuela. This is a bilateral issue to be resolved between the two countries. We believe the 1899 Arbitral Award, to which we were a party, definitively settled the border. Both countries are signatories of the Geneva Agreement of 1966 which provides a range of mechanisms for dealing with this issue. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 24/10/2016 14:29:08 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

There is no formal application category for ‘compassionate grounds’. The Home Office therefore cannot determine the percentage of applicants between 18 and 25 who have been granted leave to remain in the United Kingdom on compassionate grounds or how many applicants are still waiting for a decision.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 05/10/2015 15:54:47 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
