question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of Humanity International's call for the development of an international political declaration to end the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects in populated areas and to ensure support for the victims of these weapons.
tabling member printed	Baroness Anelay of St Johns
uin	HL7
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2020 answer text <p>The UK is at the forefront of international discussions on the use of explosive weapons with wide area effects in populated areas. Officials contributed extensively to the Vienna Conference on Protection of Civilians in Urban Warfare in October 2019, in which steps towards a political declaration were taken. The next round of negotiations will take place in Geneva in February 2020 and we will take an active role in those discussions in order to ensure humanitarian concerns are balanced against operational realities. In the UK's experience, support and assistance to victims of conflict is best provided through integrated social and economic development programmes in affected countries.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 07/01/2020 15:27:33 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

The aircraft is already used to fly senior Government Ministers and members of the Royal Family on official business. The new livery better reflects this prestigious task, however, if required, the aircraft can be returned quickly to a more traditional military livery, the costs for which are marginal and absorbed within the overall Voyager running costs.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 29/06/2020 13:39:25 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
