	answer	answer answer text <p>Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) and health evidence reviews have been prepared by scientific expert groups in the United Kingdom and around the world. The independent Advisory Group on Non-ionising Radiation (AGNIR) published their report in the UK in 2012 and the European Commission’s Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR) published their report in 2015. The World Health Organization is also currently preparing a review. The AGNIR report is available to view at following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields-health-effects" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/radiofrequency-electromagnetic-fields-health-effects</a></p><p>The SCENIHR report is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/scientific_committees/docs/citizens_emf_en.pdf" target="_blank">https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files/scientific_committees/docs/citizens_emf_en.pdf</a></p><p>Based on the accumulated evidence and reviews, Public Health England (PHE) advises that the guidelines of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) should be adopted and currently there is no strong evidence that EMF exposures below the ICNIRP guideline levels cause adverse health effects.</p><p>PHE has committed to keeping emerging evidence under review and to preparing another comprehensive review when sufficient new evidence has accumulated.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>Defra’s national network of air quality monitors currently comprises 271 sites across the UK and is managed by the Environment Agency (EA). Sites are organised into networks that gather information for a wide range of pollutants in towns, cities as well as in rural areas. Some monitoring sites are focused on measuring specific sources – e.g. road traffic or industry whilst others are focused on background concentrations.</p><p> </p><p>All monitoring data is made available on our UK-AIR website. Data from the Automatic Urban and Rural Network (AURN) is reported in near-real-time and is updated every hour. The website URL is: <a href="https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, local authorities submit their monitoring data and local actions to Defra in their Annual Status Reports. This is a requirement under the Local Air Quality Management process, underpinned by the Environment Act 1995.</p><p> </p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>The Government has been very clear that leaving the EU will not lead to a lowering of our high animal welfare standards, and is making good on our commitment to make the UK a world leader in the care and protection of animals as we leave the EU.</p><p>Our regulatory system will offer at least the same level of assurance of animal welfare following our departure from the EU as it does now. The EU Withdrawal Act will ensure that existing EU standards are maintained once we leave the EU. For instance, existing bans on imports of chlorinated chicken and hormone beef have been transferred into UK law and will remain in place after we leave.</p><p>We are actively exploring options for strengthening the UK system moving forward. These include plans to increase maximum penalties for animal cruelty from six months’ to five years’ imprisonment. We are also considering what more can be done to improve animal welfare standards in the context of our future agricultural policy and are looking to control exports of live animals for slaughter.</p>

The register of end-point assessment organisations is always open and there are 215 organisations currently on the register. As new standards are developed, we continue to work with the sector to make sure that new and existing end-point assessment organisations are aware of the opportunity and can apply to the register for employers to select them.</p><p>We are working with the IfA and external quality assurance providers to monitor the progress of organisations once they are approved on the register and to quality-assure the materials and assessment instruments they produce prior to first use. This monitoring will, alongside our improvements to data reporting, give us a clearer picture of market capacity and help apprentices to prepare for their end-point assessment.</p>
