answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>We have some of the highest standards of animal welfare and these will not be watered down when we leave the EU. Procedures which are considered to cause unnecessary suffering, such as live plucking and force feeding, are not practiced in the UK as they are prohibited by the Animal Welfare Act 2006.</p><p> </p><p>Procedures which can be performed on farmed animal species, such as castration and dehorning, are tightly regulated through the Mutilations (Permitted Procedures) (England) Regulations 2007. Where procedures can be performed, it must be done in such a way as to minimise the pain and suffering it causes to the animal. This law also sets requirements on the use of anaesthetics. Our expert committee, the Farm Animal Welfare Committee, which advises Defra and the Devolved Administrations in Scotland and Wales on the welfare of farmed animals has provided advice on a wide range of subjects including various procedures performed on farmed animals.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 16/10/2018 16:08:22 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The United Kingdom supplier of EpiPen 0.3mg adrenaline auto-injectors, Mylan, has estimated that they are currently able to supply approximately 50% of their normal demand for this product. Within the UK there are two alternative 0.3mg adrenaline auto-injector devices and the manufacturers of these have been able to increase their supplies and support the market during this time. We therefore expect that patients will continue to be able to access 0.3mg adrenaline auto-injector devices if prescribed. The Department is working very closely with all the manufacturers of adrenaline auto-injectors, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, NHS England, and others to try to resolve these issues and improve the situation as quickly as possible.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 16/10/2018 16:55:36 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

There are no plans to increase the threshold specifically for first time buyers in Oxfordshire. The average value of a property completion under the scheme has been £172,448, well below the average UK house price of £224,144 and the £250,000 cap.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/10/2018 16:12:39 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
