There are differences in data recording across the world which will at least partly account for the range of values seen.</p><p>The estimated incidence of testicular cancer in the G20 group in 2018 is published by the International Agency for Research on Cancer Global Cancer Observatory project.

answer text <p>Ministers regularly meet with a large number of external stakeholders as part of their normal duties.</p><p>The information on attendees at meetings as set out in the transparency data publication of 21 June 2019 is proportionate to the nature and depth of the engagement. In line with this approach we do not always publish lists of every attendee at larger roundtables and instead provide a general description of who was present and the names of the host organisation(s) where applicable.</p><p>Meetings (i), (ii), (iv) and (xiii) fall into this category. Meetings (i) and (xiii) were roundtables organised and hosted by third party organisations to which I was invited and actively contributed as a guest. Meetings (ii) and (iv) were roundtables organised by the Government Digital Service with the support of host organisations. A more detailed overview of the attendees at these roundtables is now set out below based upon records of who was invited; this may differ slightly from who attended on the day.</p><p>For meetings (iii), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi) and (xii), the published data already provides the name of every organisation(s) or individual(s) who attended the meetings.</p><p><strong>Meeting (i) - Roundtable discussion on Digital Transformation in Government on 12 February 2019</strong></p><ul><li>The Spectator</li><li>TechUK</li><li>Global Sourcing Association UK</li><li>Amazon Web Services</li><li>PUBLIC</li><li>Transport for London</li><li>Bob Blackman MP</li><li>Alan Mak MP</li><li>Baroness Neville-Rolfe DBE CMG</li><li>Lord O'Shaughnessy</li><li>Matt Warman MP</li></ul><p><strong>Meeting (ii) - Roundtable on digital innovation in government on 17 January 2019</strong></p><ul><li>Cisco</li><li>CBI</li><li>Capita plc</li><li>Dentons</li><li>Oracle</li><li>HP</li><li>Atos</li><li>Capgemini</li><li>Atkins Global</li><li>BT</li><li>Upside Projects</li><li>CGI</li><li>Mastercard</li><li>Fluxx</li><li>Costain</li><li>Amey</li><li>Eaton</li><li>Blue Prism</li><li>IBM</li><li>Sodexo</li><li>Redbull</li><li>Accenture</li></ul><p><strong>Meeting (iv) - Roundtable on digital innovation in government, 24 January 2019</strong></p><ul><li>University of Edinburgh</li><li>City of Edinburgh Council</li><li>Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce</li><li>East Lothian Council</li><li>West Lothian Council</li><li>Codebase</li><li>Young Scot</li><li>The Data Lab</li><li>Scotland IS</li></ul><p><strong>Meeting (xiii) - Discussion on Govtech and digital innovation in government on 26 February 2019</strong></p><ul><li>Microsoft</li><li>Sensyne Health</li><li>Adzuna</li><li>Onward</li><li>Salesforce</li><li>Epsilon Partners</li><li>Mustard Seed</li><li>M&amp;G Prudential</li><li>TechUK</li><li>Balderton Capital</li></ul>

answer text <p>A first progress report covering early implementation of the programme, including numbers of referrals and uptake in its first year, was published as a short report in Diabetic Medicine and is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/dme.13562" target="_blank">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/dme.13562</a></p><p>The analyses show that referral numbers and percentage uptake are in excess of prior modelled values. Characteristics of attendees also suggest that the programme is reaching those who are both at greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes and who typically access healthcare less effectively.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Effective weed control is key to successful crop production and grassland management. Herbicides are one means of controlling weeds but there are a number of other tools including variety selection, crop rotation and cultivation techniques. Regulation of herbicides is rigorous and they are not authorised for use if they may harm health or risk unacceptable impacts on the environment.</p><p> </p><p>The 25 Year Environment Plan states the Government’s intention to put Integrated Pest Management (IPM) at the heart of its approach. IPM aims to design farming systems so as to minimise the need for pesticides, including herbicides, and to make the greatest possible use of alternative approaches. We will develop and implement policies that encourage and support this approach, building on existing work to research and promote new techniques and products that provide alternatives to chemical pesticides. Where these practices are shown to deliver environmental outcomes, farmers who adopt them will be well placed to benefit from a future Environmental Land Management system.</p><p> </p>
