	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2021 answer text <p>The Government is committed to ensuring equal access to the vaccine and that no one eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in the first phase is left behind. It is clear, however, from both attitudinal surveys and data on uptake, that there is variation in levels of uptake across different geographies and communities.</p><p>On 13 February 2021, the Government Published the UK’s Vaccine Uptake Plan which recognises that some communities have long-standing barriers to engagement with services including for vaccination. The plan acknowledges the need to take a local, community-led approach, with support provided from government, NHS England and NHS Improvement and local authorities to coordinate and enable action. The plan is underpinned at national, regional and local level by four key enablers; working in partnership, removing barriers, data and information and conversations and engagement. Nationally, a Vaccination Equalities Committee has been established, which brings together government departments with representatives from the Association of Directors of Public Health, local authorities, Fire and Police services and third sector organisations, to advise and guide the vaccine deployment programme on addressing inequalities.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 09/04/2021 12:42:56 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi previous answer version 82407 answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2021 answer text <p>Decarbonising UK industry is a core part of the government’s ambitious plan for the green industrial revolution. The Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy[1], published on 17 March, commits government to work with the Steel Council to consider the implications of the recommendation of the Climate Change Committee to ‘set targets for ore-based steelmaking to reach near-zero emissions by 2035’. Hydrogen, electrification, and carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) are the main technological options being examined as part of this process. The industry decarbonisation pathways technical annex of the strategy (pg. 153-155) presents two possible options for the decarbonisation of the iron and steel industry:</p><ul><li>The first option shows fuel switching to hydrogen and electric arc furnace. This suggests abatement potential from hydrogen fuel switching of 3.9 MtCO2e and 3.5 MtCO2e of electric fuel switching by 2050.</li><li>The second option shows the abatement potential of carbon capture utilisation and storage (abatement of 6.7 Mt CO2e).</li></ul><p><em>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-decarbonisation-strategy" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/industrial-decarbonisation-strategy</a></em></p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 27/04/2021 16:19:22 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
