The Minister for Africa [Andrew Mitchell] met the All-Party Parliamentary Group on 26 April to discuss the report's recommendations. The UK has consistently urged the Sudanese authorities to deliver on their obligation to protect civilians and to ensure implementation of the Juba Peace Agreement, to help address the violence and instability in Darfur. The recent violent conflict across Sudan is very concerning. The UK's humanitarian priority is to secure operational security guarantees and humanitarian access. When conditions allow, the UK will lead international efforts to rebuild the Sudanese economy and mitigate the humanitarian impact across the country, including in Darfur.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4062", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-05-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-05-12T13:09:05.17Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Darfur: Violence"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report and recommendations of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Sudan and South Sudan Genocide: All Over Again in Darfur?, published on 26 April; and whether they will publish a response to those findings and recommendations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/738", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Alton of Liverpool"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Alton of Liverpool"} ], "uin" : "HL7462"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1624205", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Attorney General"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1624205/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

There is no ban in law specifically concerning the form of commercial sale of plant products from businesses in GB to consumers in NI. Most plants and seeds staying in Northern Ireland will move from Great Britain on a virtually identical basis to those moving elsewhere within the UK. Instead of full EU certification, plants and seeds will move under the framework of the existing UK-wide plant passport scheme, in line with traders throughout the UK, will now move within the same plant passport regime as applies throughout the UK.<\/p>

The Coal Authority is the licensor for coal extraction in the UK. Businesses seeking to develop a coal operation require a coal exploration licence from the Coal Authority, as well as planning permission and other consents, before a mine can become operational.<\/p>

The joint UK and Republic of Ireland bid to host EURO 2028 was submitted to UEFA on 12 April 2023.

There has been a longstanding commitment in Northern Ireland as part of the regional stadium development programme to redevelop Casement Park \u2013 alongside the National Football Stadium at Windsor Park and Kingspan Stadium, which have already undergone improvements.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the regulator for health and safety in Great Britain. The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) is the equivalent regulator in Northern Ireland. HSE and HSENI have no plans to make operator crush prevention devices compulsory on sit astride all-terrain vehicles (commonly referred to as quad bikes) used on farms in UK. Machines supplied into the UK market must meet the Essential Health and Safety Requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and relevant Standards. Quad bikes are used in a range of workplace and leisure settings, not just agriculture. Both UK regulators continue to monitor and review available technology and the regulatory approaches employed in other countries. Their approach remains to drive employers to select the most suitable machine for the task based on their assessment of workplace risk, and to provide adequate training and helmets for users.<\/p>

Sums arising which meet the definition of carried interest are properly assessed as chargeable gains subject to capital gains tax (CGT) of 18 per cent or 28 per cent for higher rate taxpayers.<\/p>

<\/p>

In some circumstances, it is possible for sums meeting the definition of carried interest to be subject to income tax and additionally, capital gains tax. Here, double taxation would be a disproportionate outcome so relief is provided from this higher rate CGT charge to reduce the effective taxation, but only down to the higher of the two rates.<\/p>

No assessment has been made of the cost of relieving these instances of double taxation.<\/p>

<\/p>

In 2020, the then Chancellor commissioned the Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) to carry out a review of Capital Gains Tax (CGT). The OTS provided a costing on aligning CGT rates with those of Income Tax.
