answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2023 answer text <p>Each Government Department is responsible for its own Retained EU Laws (REUL). They are currently in the process of assessing and developing proposals for whether they intend to revoke or reform each piece of legislation, or preserve it from the sunset, following normal policy-making procedures. This will include assessing whether the REUL is still needed, if it is operable and fit for purpose, working with relevant stakeholders as appropriate. Any resultant legislation will be laid before Parliament in the usual way. The Government plans to update the retained EU law dashboard to reflect the outcome of this process on a quarterly basis.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Callanan grouped question UIN HL5972 question first answered 14/03/2023 13:28:23 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2022 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of attacks carried out by Turkey in both Northern Iraq and Syria and continue to follow the situation closely. FCDO Ministers and senior officials regularly reiterate the need for dialogue and cooperation between Iraq and Turkey to combat terrorism, ensure regional security, and protect civilians. We welcome recent discussions between Iraqi and Turkish Defence Ministers regarding Ankara's military operations against the PKK in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. We welcome the fact that the ceasefire in north west Syria agreed by Turkey and Russia in March 2020 is broadly holding. We are concerned by increased violence in recent months, including frequent airstrikes and daily artillery shelling. It is essential that all parties to the conflict respect the ceasefire and allow humanitarian access. We urge all parties to increase their efforts to adhere to it.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon grouped question UIN HL5974 question first answered 18/02/2022 14:56:39 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
