	uin	116311
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>The Actiphage test is not used for TB testing in any other country and the only scientific paper published on the performance of the Actiphage test in a small number of cattle is based on UK data.</p><p>Officials frequently discuss all aspects of TB control with overseas counterparts and the wider expert community. The most recent opportunity was at the ERADbTB (Eradication of bovine tuberculosis through basic research and discovery) and GRAbTB (Global Research Alliance on bovine tuberculosis) Workshop in Birmingham on 11 and 12 December 2017. In the event that any other country were to begin to use the Actiphage test we would discuss their experience of using the test and its effectiveness. My department has informed the manufacturers of the test that it needs to be validated to OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health) standards before it can be considered for official use in England.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 14/12/2017 14:55:43 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	tabling member printed	Dr David Drew
	uin	117876
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities already have very broad compulsory purchase powers, which can be used to support the delivery of a range of development and infrastructure projects. Through both the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017, the Government is taking forward a substantial package of reforms to make the compulsory purchase process clearer, fairer and faster for all.</p><p>We are keen for local authorities to make use of these new provisions, which include replacing often conflicting case law on compulsory purchase compensation with a clearer basis for identifying market value. This will allow negotiations on compensation to proceed with more speed and certainty. We will keep the operation of these reforms under review and consider whether further reforms are necessary.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 14/12/2017 17:08:15 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

	uin	117906
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>Government supports Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and incineration of waste to produce Combined Heat and Power (CHP) as they are both efficient renewable technologies that offer significant carbon savings.</p><p> </p><p>Both AD and incineration to produce CHP act as a form of waste management, reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and so reducing greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p> </p><p>We have not undertaken a comparative assessment as food waste is more suited to anaerobic digestion than incineration processes. It has a high moisture content which needs to be removed by heat before it will burn. Incineration technologies will tend to use other fuels such as municipal solid waste.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 14/12/2017 11:34:55 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
