Border Force uses a range of methods to detect and deter those seeking to enter the UK using stolen passports. This includes the use of advanced technology to identify those attempting to travel to the UK on lost or stolen documentation. Immigration Enforcement operates a network of overseas liaison officers whose role includes working with transport operators to identify imposters and prevent them from travelling to the UK. At the UK border, Border Force Officers, with expertise in forgery and imposter detection, carry out comprehensive checks on all passengers arriving at passport control to establish authenticity and whether the passenger is the rightful holder.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1091", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Bates"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Bates"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2015-09-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2015-09-22T14:36:35.817Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2015-09-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Undocumented Migrants"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government what steps they are taking to detect people from Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine and Albania using stolen Syrian passports to enter the United Kingdom.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/497", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Blencathra"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Blencathra"} ], "uin" : "HL2171"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418378", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign and Commonwealth Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/418378/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The British Government is opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances and calls on all states to adopt a moratorium on the use of the death penalty in accordance with UN General Assembly resolution 186 adopted in December 2014. This is part of the process towards complete abolition. The UK\u2019s own experience showed that the death penalty did not deter crime, and miscarriages of justice were irreversible and irreparable. Where we judge that an execution is incompatible with international law or marks a backward step, we raise our concerns privately and publicly.<\/p>

The UK is committed to protecting wildlife in accordance with the EU Habitats and Birds Directives through domestic legislation and the designation of Special Sites of Scientific Interest, Special Protection Areas and Special Areas of Conservation.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Biodiversity is a devolved matter. In England, we will take forward our manifesto commitment to produce a 25 year strategy for the environment, which will include biodiversity. Over the next five years we will be investing more than £3 billion in environmental outcomes as part of the Rural Development Programme for England (2014-2020). This funding will enhance England\u2019s countryside, enabling us, among other things, to clean up our rivers and lakes, protect drystone walls and hedges, and help birds, bees and other species to thrive.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Biodiversity is one of the main objectives in the new Countryside Stewardship Scheme, to be funded under the Rural Development Programme. The Wild Pollinator and Farm Wildlife Package options within the scheme will be of particular benefit to wild pollinators, farmland birds and other species.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We will ensure that our public forests and woodland are kept in trust for the nation and plant another 11 million trees.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Since 2010, we have created over 67,000 hectares of priority habitats such as arable field margins, wetlands and woodlands. We have also maintained over 95% of our Sites of Special Scientific Interest \u2013 our most important sites for wildlife \u2013 in favourable or recovering condition and put in place Marine Conservation Zones to supplement the stretches of our sea that are already marine protected areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
UK Overseas Territory (OT) Governments are constitutionally responsible for the protection and conservation of their natural environments. The UK Government cherishes the environmental assets of the OTs and we work in partnership with OT Governments to identify where our support can be most effective, including through access to expertise, technical advice and training and through the Overseas Territory Environment and Climate Fund (Darwin Plus).<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Through Darwin Plus, the UK Government has committed approximately £5.2 million since 2012 to help protect the natural environment in the OTs. Projects currently being funded range from conserving four keystone tree species in St Helena, to an assessment of the conservation status of the endangered Atlantic yellow-nosed albatross on Tristan da Cunha.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Joint UK Government and South Atlantic OTs funding also supports a co-ordinating post based in the Falkland Islands to help meet obligations arising from the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels and to assist with the planning and implementation of albatross and petrel conservation work.<\/p>

UK Overseas Territory (OT) Governments are constitutionally responsible for the protection and conservation of their natural environments. Through the UK Government-funded Overseas Territory Environment and Climate Fund (Darwin Plus) we have committed approximately £5.2 million since 2012 to supporting environment projects in the OTs. A number of these have helped to conserve penguins.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Darwin Plus has funded projects to create a regional database of penguin tracking data, population analysis and modelling and to deploy autonomous camera units to monitor penguin populations in the British Antarctic Territory and South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office recently funded a project led by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds to carry out the first ever stocktake of species in the OTs. The study, completed between January 2013 and March 2014, with further work in 2015, brought together all known species records and conservation assessments. Although only a few OTs have permanent penguin populations, it found that the islands of the OTs include more penguins than any other nation on earth, holding an estimated 36% of the world\u2019s population of southern rockhopper penguins and 34% of gentoo penguins.<\/p>

It has been the policy of successive governments that decisions on water fluoridation are best taken locally. The Health and Social Care Act 2012 gave powers to upper tier and unitary local authorities to make proposals in relation to fluoridation.<\/p>
