Written Answers
Gaza: Israel
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Thursday 2nd May 2024

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, pursuant to the Answer of 16 January 2024 to Question UIN 7644 on Gaza: Israel, what recent assessment he made of the implications for his policies of allegations that Israel has used starvation as a weapon of war.

Answered by Andrew Mitchell - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office) (Minister for Development)

We are doing everything we can to get more aid in as quickly as possible by land, sea and air.

On 20 March, the Foreign Secretary announced the UK has funded WFP to provide 2000 tons of food aid, enough to feed 275,000 people in Gaza.

Israel has now committed to significant steps to increase the amount of aid getting to Gaza. We have seen an encouraging increase in the number of aid trucks getting into Gaza, but we must see further action to ensure more aid actually gets over the border.

Israel must fulfil its commitments to enable a flood of aid, including by guaranteeing deconfliction for aid workers.

Undocumented Migrants: Employment
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Tuesday 7th May 2024

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people have been convicted of illegal working since the introduction of that offence.

Answered by Gareth Bacon

The Ministry of Justice holds data on convictions for illegal working covering the period requested and this can be viewed in the Outcomes by Offence tool: June 2023.

The offence ‘illegal working’ can be found using the following HO code; 19464.

This can be accessed by navigating to the ‘Prosecutions and convictions’ tab and using the HO Offence Code filter to select the above offence in the Outcomes by Offence data tool.

Agricultural Products: UK Trade with EU
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Friday 17th May 2024

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will take steps to negotiate a sanitary and phytosanitary agreement with the EU.

Answered by Mark Spencer

The UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) is the world’s biggest zero tariff, zero quota trade agreement, and we actively use its mechanisms to continuously secure improvements to the trading relationship. In particular, the sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) chapter of the TCA creates a framework to agree to further trade facilitations, including potential reductions in the frequency of import checks, where justified.

The UK proposed an equivalence mechanism for SPS measures during the 2018-20 negotiations for the TCA. The EU did not accept this.

We remain open to discussions with the EU on additional steps to further reduce trade friction, but these cannot be on the basis of future alignment with EU rules. This would compromise UK sovereignty over our own laws.

Disability
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Wednesday 22nd May 2024

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what his planned timetable is for ensuring that the (a) National Disability Strategy is and (b) related policies are compliant with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Answered by Mims Davies - Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities

The commitments set out in the National Disability Strategy are designed to support the UK to become as accessible and inclusive as possible, in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities’ aims of progressive realisation. The strategy, together with other work such as the Disability Action Plan, demonstrate this Government's commitment to implementing the Convention through its legislation, policies and services.

Refugees: Carers
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Thursday 23rd May 2024

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of making it easier for refugees who are carers to qualify for UK citizenship.

Answered by Tom Pursglove

The Home Office expects all applicants for naturalisation to meet the statutory requirements which are based on a period of residence in the UK, including being free from immigration time restrictions and being of good character.

The Government considers that those seeking to make a permanent home in the UK should be equipped to integrate successfully in society, with an appropriate level of English and an understanding of British life. All applicants are therefore required to pass the Life in the UK test and meet the English language requirement. The aim is to ensure that those who intend to settle here develop both the language skills that enable them to make a success of living permanently in the UK and have an understanding of life here and society’s expectations.

There are no plans to change the requirements for citizenship.

Climate Change: Finance
Asked by: Stephen Farry (Alliance - North Down)
Thursday 23rd May 2024

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he plans to amend fiscal rules to (a) incentivise and (b) reward spending on climate change mitigation measures.

Answered by Bim Afolami

The Government is committed to sustainable public finances and delivering on the priority of getting debt falling over the medium-term. To deliver on this priority, the Government has fiscal rules – the rules require underlying debt to be falling and borrowing to be below 3% of GDP in the fifth year of the rolling forecast period. The fiscal rules are comprehensive, and targeting public sector wide measures means the impact of Government decisions on the public finances is clearly reflected.

The Government is committed to ensuring fiscal decision making is aligned with achieving net zero and our legally binding environmental targets. The Green Book requires departments to assess the climate and environmental impacts of policy proposals, with major bids and proposals at fiscal events assessed according to these impacts, and Spending Review 2021 was developed alongside the Net Zero Strategy to ensure our plans were funded.

Spending Review 2021 committed £30 billion of domestic investment for the green industrial revolution. Since then, we have committed a further £6 billion for energy efficiency in the next parliament, up to £20 billion of long-term funding for early deployment of carbon capture, usage and storage, and over £1 billion for green industries supply chains through the Green Industries Growth Accelerator.
