The UK condemns the attempted missile strike on Riyadh on 4 November and recognises the need for Saudi Arabia to take measures to stem the flow of weapons into Yemen. At the same time it is vital that Yemen remains open to commercial and humanitarian imports: the UN has warned that we could face the worst famine seen for decades unless the current Saudi-led Coalition restrictions are lifted. The UK has publicly called for the immediate reopening of Hodeidah port and the resumption of United Nations flights into the country. The Foreign Secretary raised the urgency of the humanitarian situation with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia on 23 November.<\/p>
We welcome the Saudi-led Coalition statement on 22 November announcing plans to open Hodeidah port to humanitarian aid and Sana\u2019a airport to UN flights as an initial step. This alone will not be enough to avert disaster - it is critical commercial imports are also allowed as Yemen relies on these for 85-90% of its food.<\/p>

Ministers and officials regularly raise these issues with their Venezuelan counterparts. On 10 October, the Minister for Europe and the Americas raised our concerns regarding the deteriorating socioeconomic situation in Venezuela with the Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza.

Significant progress is being made towards Sustainable Development Goal 3. In London, which has the highest HIV prevalence in the country, all the global UNAIDS 90:90:90 targets have been met, with 90% of people living with HIV infection diagnosed, 97% of people diagnosed receiving treatment, and 97% of those receiving treatment virally suppressed. The equivalent figures for the whole of England were 88%, 96% and 97% respectively. There was an 18% reduction in new HIV diagnoses in 2016 compared to 2015.<\/p>

We are continuing to focus our attention on preventing the spread of HIV and in particular, to support those people who are most at risk of infection. Public Health England (PHE) has a three year contract (£1.2 million a year) with the Terrence Higgins Trust for a National HIV Prevention Programme. In addition, PHE invest £600,000 annually in a HIV innovation fund and are continuing to invest in an innovative HIV home sampling service. NHS England have allocated up to £10 million over the next three years in the HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Impact Trial. The three year trial of 10,000 participants will address outstanding questions on PrEP need, uptake and duration of use in those at high risk of HIV acquisition in England. Local authorities are also responsible for funding HIV prevention for their local communities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4545", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord O'Shaughnessy"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-11-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL3178"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-11-27T12:53:29.173Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-11-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "HIV Infection"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what funding they will provide in the financial year 2018\u201319 to prevent new HIV infections in England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4171", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Black of Brentwood"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Black of Brentwood"} ], "uin" : "HL3176"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/788868", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/788868/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
