	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/04/2023 answer text <p>Set out in section 507B of the Education Act 1996, Local Authorities have a statutory duty to ‘secure, so far as is reasonably practicable, sufficient provision of educational and recreational leisure-time activities for young people’. This is funded from the Local Government settlement, the majority of which is un-ringfenced, allowing local authorities to spend on services according to local priorities, including on youth services.</p><p>Details of all Local Authorities annual spending on youth services can be found in Section 251 data published on gov.uk. Funding is not allocated by the Parliamentary constituency and as such the data will not provide a figure for the Enfield North constituency.</p><p>The Government recognises the vital role that youth services and activities play in improving the life chances and wellbeing of young people. In England, between 2015 - 2021, the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), including the National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust, has provided over £1.1 billion to the youth sector. During this Spending Review Period, DCMS is investing over £500 million in youth services to deliver the National Youth Guarantee, a government commitment that by 2025, every young person will have access to regular clubs and activities, adventures away from home and opportunities to volunteer.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 24/04/2023 11:33:24 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

It aims to change the way that we manage water, improve water quality, and continue to secure our water supply.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency works with water companies to develop and ensure investment in water quality improvements. Thames Water have delivered several actions relating to river water quality in Enfield. These have included investigations to better understand the impact of storm overflows from the sewerage system in the Pymmes Brook catchment, enhanced flow and discharge monitoring at Deephams wastewater treatment works and actions aiming to reduce the levels of pesticides and nitrates in Thames Water’s public water supply intakes. The Environment Agency also works closely with the council and the sewerage undertaker, Thames Water Utilities, to help identify and resolve pollution from misconnections in Enfield’s rivers.</p><p> </p><p>Defra and the Environment Agency partner and support local catchment partnerships, Local Authorities and other organisations such as Thames 21 to help protect and restore London’s water and flood plains. This includes a major wetland restoration project in Enfield connecting with the extensive reforestation project to restore Enfield Chase and Salmon’s Brook.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 22/02/2024 15:57:45 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2023 answer text <p>We do not track households that have fallen into arrears with their water bill payments; this would be undertaken by water companies. However, I am very mindful that consumers are concerned about their bills. All water companies offer WaterSure and social tariffs to help reduce bills for households who struggle to pay their bills in full. Water companies also offer a range of financial support measures to assist households to better manage their budgets and provide flexible payments including payment holidays, bill matching, benefit entitlement checks and money/debt advice referral arrangements. The Government expects water companies to continue to actively engage with households and inform them of support measures they offer.</p><p> </p><p>I encourage customers to access the Consumer Council for Water’s Advice Hub, which has information and useful tools to help customers reduce their bills or access financial support.</p><p> </p><p>To support people with the cost of living, the Government has put in place a substantial package of support.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2023 answer text <p>The Government is committed to tackling waste crime, which is a blight on our local communities and the environment and damages legitimate businesses. We have strengthened regulators' powers, are tightening the law and have increased the Environment Agency's budget by £10 million per year to make it harder for rogue operators to find work in the sector and easier for regulators to take action against criminals. We are also providing grants to councils across the country to help them purchase equipment to tackle fly-tipping. Recipients include London Borough of Newham Council and London Borough of Waltham Forest Council.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>The Environment Agency is aware of recent suspected large scale illegal deposits of waste in the Enfield area. Those suspected of being involved are subject to Operation Angola and an investigation into this group is ongoing. The Environment Agency also has ongoing investigations into large scale organised illegal depositing of waste and are progressing several major cases one of which is going through the court system at this time. All reports of waste related crime are recorded on the Environment Agency National Incident Recording System and investigated in order of seriousness.</p><p> </p><p>In the South London area (that also includes Kent), Environment Agency investigations to date have resulted in 20 successful prosecutions. Active on-going investigations are targeting priority offenders linked to large scale illegal disposal of waste with a current focus in Kingston, Croydon and Sutton. These investigations are being undertaken with partner organisations such as the police and local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 24/05/2023 11:39:37 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
