Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if he will state the places which ranked highest for atrocity risks in the Global Conflict, Instability and Atrocity Risk Assessments, produced by the Office for Conflict, Stabilisation and Mediation, broken down by each report produced since 2023.
Answered by Chris Elmore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The Global Conflict, Instability and Atrocity Risk Assessments are internal analytical products used by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) to support policy development, programme planning and prioritisation.
To protect sensitive information and ensure the effectiveness of our work, we do not routinely publish these assessments or country-level rankings. In some contexts, effective conflict and atrocity prevention requires discreet engagement with governments, partners and communities, and public disclosure of internal assessments could undermine these efforts.
The FCDO regularly reports to Parliament on situations of concern and remains committed to monitoring and assessing atrocity risks globally.

Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, if she will consider bringing Section 87 of the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Act into force before summer recess.
Answered by Ian Murray - Minister of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)
The Government will bring Gambling Impact Assessments (GIAs) into force in due course and is currently considering what preparations and guidance will be needed for their introduction, to enable local authorities to use them effectively. As this guidance is crucial to the introduction of GIAs, we do not expect to bring GIAs into force until the guidance is ready. We do not anticipate bringing GIAs into force ahead of summer recess, but expect them to be in place by the end of the year.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what is the statutory basis for the Department's engagement with the National Farmers Union on farming issues.
Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
Departments are required to consult when there is a statutory requirement to do so or a common law duty. Alternatively, in the absence of a legal requirement to consult, a department may engage in voluntary consultation where to do so assists in good policy formulation and development.
Defra regularly engages with the National Farmers Union and a range of other stakeholders for these purposes. This reflects this Government’s commitment to engage with and listen to the farming community, and the recommendations made by Baroness Batters in her independent Farming Profitability Review.
