	answer	answer answer text <p>There is no single definition of a ‘pending elector’ in legislation or elsewhere. Any data on pending electors would therefore be defined and held at a local level. Given this, the Government is not able to make an estimate of the number of pending electors in each constituency.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>The Department funds research through the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR). The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including on the microbiome/microbota. It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards being made on the basis of the importance of the topic to patients and health and care services, value for money and scientific quality.</p><p> </p><p>The evidence on the use of microbiota to improve diagnosis for a range of conditions is currently the subject of active research. The NIHR has directly funded and supported research studies on the microbiota and microbiome totalling £23.8 million in since 2011/12.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>The UK and India are both parties to the Basel Convention which provides the system for controlling movements of hazardous and other wastes between countries. It is fully implemented in UK law through Regulation (EC) 1013/2006 on the shipment of waste and the UK Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Regulations 2007. Under Regulation (EC) 1013/2006, most exports of non hazardous wastes destined for recycling to non-Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries are subject to light touch international export controls known as ‘green-list’ controls. The European Commission asks non-OECD countries, including India, to indicate where more stringent controls are required. India has indicated that exports of tyres from the UK can be exported under green-list controls and must also meet the requirements of Indian regulations.</p><p> </p><p>The UK environmental regulators take an intelligence led approach to checking compliance with waste export regulations. They carry out proactive and intelligence led inspections to stop waste shipments that breach these regulations before they leave our ports. Where concerns are raised about a recycling facility in other countries, further information is requested from the relevant authorities in that country to confirm sites are permitted and regulated according to their national laws.</p><p> </p><p>In our recently published Resources and Waste Strategy, we set out plans to introduce Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for more waste streams, including tyres. This will increase the responsibility on tyre producers regarding their end of life. We are also further developing a range of measures including: increased monitoring of international waste shipments, improved provision for waste repatriation, and charging higher fees to improve compliance. These changes aim to ensure any waste we do send abroad is fit for recycling, and that it is recycled to equivalent standards as required in the UK. This should create a more level playing field for domestic recyclers as well as reducing the chances of exported tyres being mishandled.</p>
