To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to undertake, and report
on, an investigation into the government of Russia's alleged (1) use of poisoning
and assassination, (2) media manipulation, (3) abuse of Interpol procedures, and (4)
efforts to undermine international law and institutions in ways that are harmful to
UK security.
<p>We continue to challenge Russia's malign activity and abuse of the international
rules-based system and remain at the forefront of those opposing that abuse.</p><p>In
response to the attack in Salisbury, together with our allies, we coordinated the
largest ever collective expulsion of Russian intelligence officers, fundamentally
degrading Russian intelligence capability for years to come. We also challenge Russia's
actions in Ukraine, in Syria, the Western Balkans and in cyber space. The United Kingdom
is committed to playing a leading role in continuing sanctions against Russia. Sanctions
are one of a range of measures we have taken, in concert with others, to defend our
security and enhance our capabilities against Russia's malign activity.</p>
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
on 17 January (HL12669) and the Written Statement by Lord Callanan on 20 December
2018 (HLWS1187), whether (1) the text of the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement has been
amended since 20 December 2018, and (2) the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement has been
signed by the UK; if so, when; whether the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement is subject
to section 20 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act 2010; and whether a
copy of the EEA EFTA Separation Agreement has been laid before Parliament by a Minister
of the Crown within the meaning of section 20(1)(a) of the Constitutional Reform and
Governance Act 2010.
<p><em>It has not proved possible to respond to this question in the time available
before Dissolution. Ministers will correspond directly with the Member.</em></p><p>
