answer text <p>Universal Credit is paid on a monthly cycle to reflect the fact that the vast majority of people receive their wages monthly. Many social landlords still expect their tenants to pay rent on a weekly basis, a practice based upon a time when both wages and benefits were paid weekly. The effect of this is that, roughly every six years, there will be 53 payment days in a twelve-month period with the result that, over the cycle, the average social sector tenant will receive approximately 35p a week less towards their rent. A key principle of Universal Credit is that it simplifies the benefit system for working age claimants and re-assessing housing costs to reflect the number of rent payments in any particular year would be complicated and lead to confusion.</p><p /> more like this

answer text <p>The production to supply ratio for food is commonly described as a measure of ‘self-sufficiency’. The ratios for all food and indigenous type food for the last ten years are presented below. The UK’s current production to supply ratio is 60% for all food and 75% for indigenous-type foods. This has remained steady over the last decade and is not low in the context of the past 150 years. For example, in the 1930s the overall rate was between 30% and 40%, while in the late 1950s this had risen to just over 50%.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The supply of food available for domestic consumption consists of home production and food imports, excluding food exported. Defra does not make forecasts for future years: supply is affected both by growing conditions and export successes.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>A related measure to production/supply ratio is the origins of domestic consumption.</p><p> </p><p>This is a breakdown of where the supply of food comes from. In 2017 50% of UK supply was home produced, 30% came from the EU and 20% from the rest of the world.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong>Production to supply ratio 2008-2017</strong></p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>2008</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2009</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2010</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>All food %</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>59</p></td><td><p>61</p></td><td><p>64</p></td><td><p>63</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>62</p></td><td><p>61</p></td><td><p>60</p></td><td><p>60</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Indigenous type food %</p></td><td><p>73</p></td><td><p>72</p></td><td><p>75</p></td><td><p>78</p></td><td><p>77</p></td><td><p>73</p></td><td><p>76</p></td><td><p>76</p></td><td><p>76</p></td><td><p>75</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Note: based on the farmgate value of raw food production</p>

answer text <p>Almost all local authorities in England have now taken on civil enforcement powers for parking and bus lane contraventions, and the Department for Transport is engaged in discussions with several local authorities which have not yet adopted these powers but are interested in doing so. It is for each local authority to determine how it wishes to apply these powers, subject to the restrictions of legislation and statutory guidance. The Department has no current plans to enable local authorities outside London to take on civil enforcement powers for moving traffic offences, which are a matter for the police.</p> more like this
