Jerusalem: Religious Freedom
Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire) Tuesday 21st May 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, whether his Department plans to take steps to help preserve religious freedom in Jerusalem for minority Christians. Answered by Andrew Mitchell We are encouraging the Israeli Government to do all it can to uphold the values of equality for all enshrined in its laws. Our Embassy in Tel Aviv and our Consulate General in Jerusalem regularly raise issues of religious freedom with both the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority. |

Jerusalem: Ethnic Groups
Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire) Tuesday 21st May 2024 Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office: To ask the Deputy Foreign Secretary, whether he has made an assessment of the potential implications for his policies of reports of (a) violence and (b) land repossession against Armenian Christians in Jerusalem; and whether his Department plans to take steps to help preserve the Armenian community presence in the Old City of Jerusalem. Answered by Andrew Mitchell The UK is monitoring the situation and is clear on the need to avoid any further rise in tensions. British Consulate General staff in Jerusalem met members of the community earlier this year, discussed the current situation, and visited relevant sites in the Old City of Jerusalem. The UK is a strong supporter of Freedom of Religion or Belief (FoRB) and an advocate for the integrity of culturally important areas to be respected. |

Bowel Cancer: Health Services
Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire) Thursday 23rd May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many complaints NHS England have received relating to the adequacy of bowel care provided to people with neurogenic bowel disorders in the last 12 months; and what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that patients receive (a) timely and (b) appropriate care. Answered by Andrew Stephenson NHS England has not received any direct complaints relating to the adequacy of bowel care provided to people with neurogenic bowel disorders resulting from a spinal cord injury in the last 12 months. Complaints about clinical care should be directed to the hospital providing the care, which would be able to conduct the necessarily investigations. To help ensure that patients with neurogenic bowel receive timely and appropriate care, NHS England has developed a range of guidance, including its Excellence in Continence Care guidance. NHS England has also published a service specification for spinal cord injury services, which makes specific reference to bowel care. It outlines that patients with spinal injury should be provided with advice and care by specialist nursing staff in specialist fields, including in the field of bladder and bowel management. In addition, National Institute for Health and Care Excellence guidelines on faecal incontinence set out the care that patients with neurogenic bowel should receive, including a neurological bowel management programme. |

Plants: Weed Control
Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, with reference to SB6 of the Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier (Rhododendron Control), how many agreements have been reached to date; how many hectares are covered by those agreements; and how many hectares has rhododendron successfully been removed from. Answered by Mark Spencer Rhododendron ponticum is one of the most damaging invasive plants in the UK; it prevents woodland regeneration and destroys the natural understorey which has consequent impacts on birds and invertebrates. Countryside Stewardship (CS) option SB6 supports the control of rhododendrons, reducing the negative effect this can have on a site.
There are 487 CS agreements containing SB6, which cover a total of 2,615 hectares. SB6 is a CS capital item and can only be claimed once the work has been completed, to date 1,462 hectares of Rhododendrons have been removed.
In addition to the existing SB6 capital item, we will be introducing a revenue item later this year to support continued control of rhododendron once initial control has been undertaken. Some further information can be found within Technical annex: The combined environmental land management offer - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk). |

Plants: Weed Control
Asked by: Andrew Selous (Conservative - South West Bedfordshire) Friday 24th May 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the SB6 Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier grant for rhododendron control. Answered by Mark Spencer We are committed to reviewing all actions in Countryside Stewardship and Sustainable Farming Incentive, on a phased basis over time. As part of the reviews, we will take into account comments from farmers and stakeholders and ensure guidance is appropriate.
Rhododendron ponticum is one of the most damaging invasive plants in the UK; it prevents woodland regeneration and destroys the natural understorey which has consequent impacts on birds and invertebrates. In addition to the existing SB6 capital item, we will be introducing a revenue item later this year to support continued control of rhododendron once initial control has been undertaken. |
