uin	HL3866
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2021 answer text <p>The UK is deeply concerned with the worsening situation in Myanmar. We continue to call publicly for a peaceful resolution to the crisis. In response to escalating violence in Chin and Sagaing, the UK convened the UN Security Council on 8 November. During that meeting we called on the military to exercise restraint and ensure the protection of civilians. On 15 October, the British Embassy in Yangon released a statement urging the military to end their campaign of violence and flagging our concern for communities, their livelihoods, property and places of worship.</p><p>The UK has played a leading international role in coordinating targeted sanctions against the military regime. Since the coup, we have announced seven tranches of sanctions, which have targeted the junta's ruling body and its military leadership, as well as its key commercial interests. In addition, the UK's trade review has suspended trade promotion in Myanmar and strengthened advice to British businesses on avoiding exposure to the military. The UK is considering further targeted actions against the regime.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 23/11/2021 16:29:02 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2015 answer text <p>All Catering and Retail Services staff, with the exception of staff grade A and above, receive a share of gratuities and function service charges, including those paid on debit and credit cards. The formula for working out the share for each permanent member of staff is based on contracted hours and attendance. Gratuities are distributed three times a year through payroll after a 13.8% deduction for employer National Insurance, and individually-calculated deductions for employee National Insurance and income tax.</p><p>A proportion of gratuities and function service charges is paid to zero hour staff (none of whom has a contractual exclusivity clause) split on a pro-rata basis according to the number of hours they have worked. Since the review referred to in my predecessor’s answer of 26 March 2015 (<a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2015-03-17/HL5819/" target="_blank">HL5819</a>), the House of Lords makes no deduction for card commission.</p> answering member printed Lord Laming question first answered 03/12/2015 12:02:17 answering member 2079 label Biography information for Lord Laming
