To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to seek compensation for the UK's contributions to the European Space Agency for those EU programmes it will no longer be able to participate in after Brexit; and if so, how much.
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend to seek compensation for the UK's contributions to the European Space Agency for those EU programmes it will no longer be able to participate in after Brexit; and if so, how much.
The European Space Agency (ESA) is an intergovernmental organisation, independent of the European Union. We have been clear that we will continue membership of ESA and an independent report has shown that the UK gets on average a return of £10 for every £1 it invests with ESA.
The EU’s space programmes are not funded by ESA, but by the EU itself (and, by extension, Member State contributions to the EU’s budget).

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have informed the police that they no longer have to meet any targets relating to Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, covering offences of causing harassment, alarm or distress.[HL1493]
The Government have never imposed any specific targets on forces in relation to Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986, covering offences of causing harassment, alarm or distress.
Furthermore, the Government removed the only central target on the police, which was in relation to public confidence, in order to promote professional discretion, reduce bureaucracy, and support the introduction of democratic accountability through police and crime commissioners. The Government's reform programme for policing, including scrapping the confidence target, has been clearly communicated to the service.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will exercise their right, as agreed in the Lisbon Treaty, to opt out of the extension to the United Kingdom from December 2014 of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice over crime and policing laws.

My Lords, the Government are considering carefully the many different factors involved in this decision and its implications.

We want to ensure that both Houses of Parliament have the opportunity for a full debate and vote on the issue.
