question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have held with international partners over the renewed conflict in Ethiopia.
tabling member printed	Lord Oates
uin	HL2147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/09/2022 answer text <p>The breakdown of the truce and return to conflict between the Tigray People's Liberation Front and the Ethiopian Government is catastrophic for the people of Ethiopia. It risks tens of thousands of deaths, both directly through fighting and indirectly through a further deepening of the already dire humanitarian situation. 22 months since fighting began, it is clear that there is no military solution to the conflict.</p><p>The UK is heavily involved in international efforts to de-escalate conflict, stressing the need for a political solution, humanitarian access and accountability for atrocities. We support the African Union's mediation efforts to this end, and encourage a redoubling of these efforts to avert further escalation. The UK urges Tigrayan troops to leave Amhara and Eritrean troops to leave Tigray. We urge the Ethiopian Government to restore services to Tigray and both parties to begin direct talks without preconditions. Our Embassy in Addis Ababa is engaging with all parties to the conflict to deliver these messages.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park grouped question UIN HL2146 question first answered 27/09/2022 15:26:03 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the practice of train operating companies terminating trains before they reach their advertised destinations, what steps they are taking to prevent such a practice except in exceptional circumstances.
tabling member printed	Lord Bradshaw
uin	HL2147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2020 answer text <p>When trains are terminated before they reach their advertised destination, for contractual purposes, this is considered to be a part or full cancellation depending on how much of the planned journey is completed. If performance falls short of an operator’s contractual obligations, the Department can require them to incur expenditure to improve. Whilst terminating trains early clearly impacts passengers, train operating companies say it is sometimes necessary to prevent more significant delays or potential further cancellations for a larger number of passengers, or if calling at a specific station would be unsafe or the line is blocked.</p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 17/03/2020 14:36:49 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the security threat to Britain from current ISIL actions in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.
tabling member printed	The Marquess of Lothian
uin	HL2147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2014 answer text <p>The assessment of the threat to the UK from international terrorism is made by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC). JTAC assessments are made independently of Ministers.</p><p> </p><p>The Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) increased the UK national threat level from international terrorism to SEVERE (meaning that an attack is highly likely) on 26 August for the first time since 2011. This decision was related to developments in Iraq and Syria where groups including ISIL are planning attacks against the West. As the Prime Minister said on 26 September 2014, Official Report, column 1256, ISIL is a terrorist organisation unlike those we have dealt with before, and represents a direct threat to the British people. They have already murdered two British hostages, and are threatening the life of another. The first ISIL-inspired terrorist acts in Europe have already taken place.</p><p> </p><p>There is also a threat to British nationals and interests from ISIL and groups affiliated with ISIL or Al-Qaeda in Arab and African countries. Amongst these groups are Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, operating in the Sahel, and Boko Haram and Ansaru in Nigeria. Foreign and Commonwealth Office Travel Advice gives our most accurate assessment of the threat from terrorism to British nationals overseas.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bates grouped question UIN HL2150 HL2151 question first answered 27/10/2014 12:29:11 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
