answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2021 answer text <p>Several options for distributing the £200M fund were fully considered, ranging from fully-funding a few projects at selected ports to significantly funding as many projects as possible. The latter was chosen as the most beneficial, appropriate and fair option. All successful projects were awarded unprecedented levels of Government funding for ports infrastructure, all given as grants.</p><p> </p><p>The greatest effect of this approach is providing a far greater quantity of ports throughout Britain with funding assistance than otherwise would have been possible. In normal circumstances, ports would be expected to fund such facilities themselves.</p> answering member constituency Witney answering member printed Robert Courts question first answered 03/03/2021 15:28:50 answering member 4589 label Biography information for Robert Courts

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2021 answer text <p>Since the agreement of the Initial IMO Strategy in 2018, the UK has continued to work with the IMO to develop and agree policy measures to drive emissions reduction in the sector. In 2019 the UK became the first IMO Member State to publish a National Action Plan, the Clean Maritime Plan, and the plan’s commitments have now largely been implemented.
