answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>HM Revenue and Customs has carried out a consultation on the impact of licensing the supply chain for the sale of tobacco products. This was for the purpose of tackling the illicit trade in line with the requirements of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control Illicit Trade Protocol. A response document for the consultation will be published later this year. The Government has no plans at present to introduce a licensing scheme in England. The Government recognises that Scotland has implemented a registration scheme and will continue to observe the impact of this scheme on tobacco control.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 19/09/2017 13:37:45 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL1222
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2017 answer text <p>The Food Standards Agency (FSA) does not hold information on when the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) first became aware of hepatitis E in pig meat from the Netherlands and Germany. This is outside of the FSA remit as EFSA does not fall within the United Kingdom’s jurisdiction.</p><p> </p><p>As far as we are aware, the EFSA has not informed the FSA of any concerns regarding the presence of hepatitis E virus in pig meat from Germany or the Netherlands. The UK did, however, present a report on viruses in the food chain at the 55<sup>th</sup> EFSA Advisory Forum meeting in March 2015, which included a review of hepatitis E. European member states took this opportunity to share information and experience on hepatitis E in pork products, identifying possible opportunities for further collaboration to support risk assessments in this area.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 14/09/2017 13:39:59 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
