The data, which includes export values for some licences, currently provides details of licences up to 30 June 2018. Information covering the period 1 July to 30 September 2018 will be published in January 2018.</p><p>However, licences granted are not a measure of sales or exports shipped in a given period as they are generally valid for between two and five years. Licensing data only provides a partial indication of sales as exporters only declare export values for a subsection of licences (Standard Individual Export Licences). Some licences expire before they are used and in these circumstances exporters must submit a further application, which can result in a significant element of double counting.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 05/12/2018 17:04:14 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>Over the last several years police forces have estimated that mental health cases may represent between 20 and 40 percent of total demand. In some such cases, including for example those involving criminality or public safety, police involvement may well be necessary.</p><p>However, the Government has been clear that the police should not be expected to care on an ongoing basis for those who have committed no offence but who require professional healthcare. The Government is working closely with the police and health services to better understand the precise scale and nature of mental health demands, and how these may best be addressed.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 05/12/2018 16:42:11 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

Of these four UK notified bodies, one is also designated Directive 90/385/EEC on active implantable medical devices. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is the designating authority in the UK and is responsible for designating and monitoring the performance of UK notified bodies. This includes undertaking regular audits of their activities.</p><p> </p><p>New European Union Regulations for medical devices (Regulation 2017/745) and in vitro diagnostic medical devices (Regulation 2017/746) entered into force in May 2017, with Regulation 2017/745 fully applying from May 2020 and Regulation 2017/746 fully applying from May 2022. Each notified body will need to apply for separate designation under these Regulations. No notified body in the UK, or across the EU, is currently designated under either Regulation.</p><p> </p><p>The new Regulations substantially strengthen the regulatory framework for medical devices and in vitro diagnostic devices and the MHRA recognises the importance of having competent notified bodies in place in sufficient time to ensure continuity of supply of products to the UK market.</p><p> </p><p>To this end, the MHRA has been engaging with UK notified bodies on an ongoing basis to ensure that sufficient resources are in place and to ensure notified bodies are prepared for the designation process. The MHRA is also providing expert auditors to support the process of joint assessment of notified bodies under the new legislation across the EU to support the consistent application of the new Regulations across all EU Member States.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 04/12/2018 17:25:31 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>We have repeatedly stated our commitment to a far-reaching relationship with the EU on science and innovation. We have taken crucial first steps towards achieving this relationship by agreeing in principle the Withdrawal Agreement and Political Declaration. Once ratified, provisions in the Withdrawal Agreement will ensure continued UK participation in existing EU Programmes for their duration. Horizon 2020 is a current EU Programme.</p><p> </p><p>We have also been clear that we would like the option to associate to the next EU Research and Innovation Framework Programme, Horizon Europe. The Political Declaration represents an important milestone by explicitly providing for the inclusion of terms for UK participation in Union programmes, such as science and innovation as part of a future UK-EU agreement.</p><p> </p><p>In the unlikely event of no deal, the underwrite guarantee and extension would ensure continued UK participation in Horizon 2020 post-EU Exit. In this scenario, UK entities would be eligible to participate in and lead consortia in a wide range of collaborative programmes. We are seeking to discuss the details of our continued participation as a Third Country with the European Commission.</p><p> </p><p>Whilst the UK remains a Member State, we continue to play an active role in the development of EU programmes, engaging with our counterparts in the European, Commission, Council and Parliament to ensure these remain attractive to international partners.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 04/12/2018 15:21:54 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
