question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 21 December 2017 (HL4321), what level of support they will provide for reconstruction in Dominica following the hurricane damage.
tabling member printed	Baroness Lister of Burtersett
uin	HL4756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/01/2018 answer text <p>Dominica was devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria. The UK provided £7m in emergency support, including shelter, food and other essential supplies. We have also committed £25m to support reconstruction. These funds will be delivered through the UK Caribbean Infrastructure Fund, in partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank. A Post Disaster Needs Assessment and discussions with the government of Dominica are informing spending priorities, with a likely focus on repairing the island’s water supply system.</p><p>The UK will also provide a further £8m to strengthen regional and national level disaster response mechanisms. Some of this funding will be used to provide expertise and oversight of the island’s reconstruction programme so that funds are used in the most effective way. All UK funded reconstruction will support the key principle of building back better, so that Caribbean countries and territories are better able to withstand future hurricanes and natural disasters.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 24/01/2018 17:17:41 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Department for International Development (DfID) currently tracks how many jobs for women in developing countries (1) have been, and (2) they estimate will be, created through DfID-funded projects and programmes; whether they plan to set any targets in this regard; and if not, why not.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hodgson of Abinger
uin	HL4756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2017 answer text <p>DFID historically has tracked and continues to track the impact of its programmes on women’s employment using indicators within each programme’s own monitoring and measurement system. For example a skills development programme in Pakistan is planning to train between 165,000-300,000 women to enhance their income/employment prospects.</p><p>The department does not plan to set any targets related to job creation for the whole organisation because the data and collection methods are not consistent enough between countries to be able to verify and report in the aggregate. DFID is working with international institutions to improve jobs data quality for the long term.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 30/01/2017 17:23:41 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Randerson on 5 February (HL4534) regarding "on the runs", what was the purpose of the scheme if it did not offer immunity, exemption or amnesty from prosecution; and whether they consider that the scheme complied with the Government’s equality obligations.

uin	HL4756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2015 answer text <p>Lady Justice Hallett emphasised on a number of occasions in her report that the letters, however phrased, were not an amnesty. They were not a commitment by the State that individuals would not be prosecuted, whatever the strength of the case against them. They were only ever meant as statements of the facts, as they were believed to be at the time, as to whether or not an individual was wanted for questioning by the police.</p><p>At paragraph 9.15 of her report, Lady Justice Hallett finds that there were no express or implied criteria in the scheme to exclude any particular category of individual. She found that the administrative scheme, properly implemented, was not unlawful.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Saltaire question first answered 19/02/2015 10:28:34 answering member 1816 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Saltaire
