Written Question
Cheese: Canada
Tuesday 13th February 2024

Asked by: Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the volume and value of cheese exports to Canada in each of the last five years, and what assessment they have made of the likely impact on those figures of not concluding a trade agreement with Canada.

Answered by Lord Offord of Garvel - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

Between 2018 and 2022 the UK exported between 1.5 and 2.2 kilotonnes of cheese to Canada each year, worth between £11 million and £18.7 million.

Prior to 1 January 2024, UK exporters could export cheese to Canada through a Canadian importer with a licence for Canada’s “EU” World Trade Organisation quota. As of 1 January 2024, the Canadian importer must have a licence for Canada’s “non EU” World Trade Organisation quota to import UK cheese.


Written Question
Myanmar: Politics and Government
Monday 12th February 2024

Asked by: Carla Lockhart (Democratic Unionist Party - Upper Bann)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what diplomatic steps the Government is taking to help restore democracy in Myanmar.

Answered by Anne-Marie Trevelyan - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK fully supports a peaceful, inclusive and democratic future for Myanmar. We work closely with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), supporting their leadership on responding to the Myanmar crisis through their Five Point Consensus. We meet regularly with a range of pro-democracy actors, including the National Unity Government, to amplify their voice on the international stage, including at the UN Security Council, where we are the pen-holder on Myanmar. We continue to work with partners, including the EU, US and Canada, to impose sanctions against the military regime, denying them credibility and calling for a return to democracy.


Written Question
Armed Forces: Uniforms
Friday 9th February 2024

Asked by: Kirsten Oswald (Scottish National Party - East Renfrewshire)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what his Department's policy is on the import of bearskin from Canada for use as hats.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

The Ministry of Defence only purchases bearskin ceremonial caps made from pelts sourced from Canada which are:

  • Legally imported into the UK by our suppliers and in accordance with all import controls.
  • By-products of legal and licensed hunts authorised by each individual Canadian Province and Territory.


Written Question
UNRWA: Finance
Thursday 8th February 2024

Asked by: Kenny MacAskill (Alba Party - East Lothian)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, what the evidential basis was for his decision to suspend funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA).

Answered by Leo Docherty - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)

We are appalled by allegations that United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff were involved in the 7 October attack against Israel. The UK is pausing any future funding of UNRWA whilst we review these concerning allegations. The United States, Germany, Australia, Canada, Finland, Switzerland and the Netherlands have all temporarily paused funding.

We remain committed to getting humanitarian aid to the people in Gaza who desperately need it. Our commitment to trebling aid to Gaza still stands. The UK is providing £60 million in humanitarian assistance to support partners including OCHA, UNICEF, the World Food Programme (WFP) and Egyptian Red Crescent Society (ERCS).


Written Question
Exports: Canada
Thursday 8th February 2024

Asked by: Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi (Labour - Slough)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps her Department has taken to help increase exports to Canada since 2022.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)

The Government are committed to driving forward export growth and helping UK businesses export to markets across the globe including Canada. UK exports to Canada amounted to £16.4 billion in the 12 months to September 2023, an increase of 14.1% or £2.0 billion in current prices compared to the previous 12 months.


Written Question
Armed Forces: Uniforms
Thursday 8th February 2024

Asked by: Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party - East Antrim)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to the Answer of 23 January 2023 to Question 10468 on Armed Forces: Uniforms, if his Department will end the sourcing of bearskin from Canada.

Answered by James Cartlidge - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

In the absence of an effective replacement, the Department will continue to purchase bearskin ceremonial caps made from pelts sourced from Canada, providing they are by-products of legal and licensed hunts and can continue to be imported into the UK.


Written Question
Origin Marking: Canada
Tuesday 6th February 2024

Asked by: Stella Creasy (Labour (Co-op) - Walthamstow)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 1 February 2024 to Question 11775 on Origin Marking: Canada, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes to rules of origin arrangements on tariffs for each sector identified as likely to be impacted.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)

From 1 April, businesses will not be able to count EU material as originating in their exports to Canada under the FTA.

The impact on UK sectors will depend on individual business supply chains and the extent to which they use EU inputs. We are engaging extensively with business to understand the impact and help them prepare.


Written Question
Trade Agreements: Canada
Thursday 1st February 2024

Asked by: Stella Creasy (Labour (Co-op) - Walthamstow)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps she is taking to support businesses impacted by the suspension of trade negotiations with Canada.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)

The pause in negotiations does not impact our existing trade agreement with Canada, which underpins £25.9bn worth of trade a year. This agreement is comprehensive. It maintains zero tariffs on food and drink and a wide range of industrial goods, guarantees UK services companies access to the Canadian market, and protects Intellectual Property.


We continue to work closely with dairy exporters to monitor the impact on recent changes to market access arrangements on cheese. We are also engaging extensively with businesses who may be impacted by impending changes to the arrangements for rules of origin.


Written Question
Origin Marking: Canada
Thursday 1st February 2024

Asked by: Stella Creasy (Labour (Co-op) - Walthamstow)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of changes in rules of origin arrangements with Canada as a result of the suspension of trade negotiations with that country on (a) the economy and (b) each sector.

Answered by Nusrat Ghani - Minister of State (Minister for Europe)

The pause in negotiations does not impact our existing trade agreement with Canada, which underpins £25.9bn worth of trade in the 12 months to September 2023.

However, we are working closely with UK businesses potentially impacted by the changes to rules of origin arrangements in the existing agreement, to help them prepare and adapt. Our analysis to date shows exporters of automotives, plastics, chemicals and processed food are likely to be impacted.


Written Question
Defence Equipment: Lost Property and Theft
Wednesday 31st January 2024

Asked by: Sarah Jones (Labour - Croydon Central)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much military equipment of each equipment type has been (a) lost and (b) stolen in each year since 2015.

Answered by Andrew Murrison - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence)

The Ministry of Defence has historically responded to Freedom of Information Requests (FOIs), answering the following three questions:

1. How many weapons (by type) and explosive munitions for which the Department has responsibility have been recorded as (a) lost and (b) stolen in [year]?

2. Please provide a list of all stolen items, value and location of the theft of all items that were recorded stolen in the [year] calendar year.

3. How many department computers, laptops, memory sticks were lost/stolen by month since January [year]?

The responses have included military equipment reported lost/stolen in addition to other items but are limited to only those cases reported to the centralised reporting functions concerned with Security and Fraud/Theft, Bribery and Corruption.

The following are the links to those years that the published FOI requests can be located on GOV.UK:
