	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s plans for agriculture and for supporting the sector as the UK leaves the European Union are underpinned by the Agriculture Bill. The Bill is a central part of the Government’s programme of legislation to deliver as smooth a departure as possible and achieve a green Brexit. At the heart of our new policy in England will be a system that pays public money for public goods. Our future agriculture policy will help farmers continue to provide a supply of healthy, home-grown produce made to high environmental and animal welfare standards.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to putting in place a Gold Standard of metrics which will provide a framework of sustainability metrics, establishing a common vocabulary for environmental and animal welfare measurements in food and farming that can be used across public and private sectors.</p><p> </p><p>We already have some of the highest welfare standards in the world, as well as a number of voluntary labelling schemes which provide assurances as to the welfare of the animals, both of which ensure consumers are not misled by the labelling of products that contain meat or dairy products. Once we leave the EU, we will review food labelling to ensure that we have a framework that meets the needs of UK consumers and producers. Labelling for welfare outcomes is one area that the review will cover.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 10/06/2019 16:58:59 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2019 answer text <p>As part of our £3.5 billion plan to tackle roadside nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) concentrations, the Government is working closely with 61 English local authorities and has placed legal duties on them, underpinned by £495 million in funding, to tackle their NO<sub>2</sub> exceedances. This includes Birmingham City Council, Coventry City Council, City of Wolverhampton, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council and Walsall Council. Each of these local authorities has been directed to undertake local plans or studies to identify any measures that could bring forward compliance with NO<sub>2</sub> legal limits. A number of these have now concluded and the Government is working with the local authorities to implement measures including charging Clean Air Zones, bus retrofitting and upgrades, traffic signal optimisation and behavioural change schemes.</p><p> </p><p>In March 2019 Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council received a further direction to undertake a full local plan as updated national modelling identified a more persistent, long term exceedance in Solihull. The local authority is required to submit initial plans by 31 July 2019 and final plans by 30 April 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 10/06/2019 11:13:45 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
