Drugs: Shortages
Asked by: Alan Brown (Scottish National Party - Kilmarnock and Loudoun) Tuesday 5th March 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help tackle medicine shortages. Answered by Andrew Stephenson - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) I know how distressing medicine shortages can be for patients and their families. The Department works with the pharmaceutical industry, NHS, MHRA and others and uses a range of tools to help manage issues, such as securing supplies from alternative manufacturers, expediting deliveries and where necessary, enabling use of different products. Supply disruption is unfortunately a common issue affecting countries around the world. Whilst issues can’t always be prevented, in the vast majority of cases they can be managed with minimal disruption to patients. |

Israeli Settlements: Overseas Trade
Asked by: Alan Brown (Scottish National Party - Kilmarnock and Loudoun) Thursday 7th March 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, pursuant to the Answer of 1 March 2024 to Question 15936 on Israeli Settlements, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of banning trade of goods from settlements on the West Bank. Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development) We advise British businesses to bear in mind the UK Government's view on the illegality of settlements under international law when considering their investments and activities in the region. Our position is that only Israeli goods originating from the State of Israel will be covered by the UK-Israel Free Trade Agreement (FTA). Palestinian goods originating from the West Bank and Gaza will continue to benefit from the terms of the UK-Palestinian Authority FTA. Goods originating from Israeli settlements in the West Bank will be covered by neither FTA. |
