	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2024 answer text <p>The legal profession in England and Wales operates independently of government. The responsibility for regulating the sector sits with the approved regulators, overseen by the Legal Services Board (LSB). The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is responsible for regulating the professional conduct of solicitors, as well as most law firms in England and Wales. The SRA’s role involves protecting clients and the public. The different ways in which they can provide support to consumers of legal services can be found on their website: <a href="https://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/who-we-are/expect-from-us/" target="_blank">SRA | What you can expect from us | Solicitors Regulation Authority</a>.</p><p> </p><p>For clients based in Scotland, the Law Society of Scotland (TLSS) is the professional body responsible for regulating Scottish solicitors. They have confirmed that they are taking measures to meet their regulatory obligations and assist consumers impacted by the collapse of WW &amp; J McClures. Advice for those affected by the collapse of McClures can be accessed on TLSS’s website: <a href="https://www.lawscot.org.uk/news-and-events/law-society-news/mcclures-jones-whyte-faqs/" target="_blank">https://www.lawscot.org.uk/news-and-events/law-society-news/mcclures-jones-whyte-faqs/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is aware of the issues surrounding WW &amp; J McClures collapse, which involve multiple regulators responding to former clients across Scotland, England and Wales. Government officials have spoken to the SRA, which has confirmed that it is aware of the issues at hand and is continuing to investigate them at a senior level. There are several routes in place to ensure consumers have access to support in the event of the collapse of their solicitor’s law firm.</p><p> </p><p>The Legal Ombudsman (LeO) deals with service complaints against regulated legal services providers – including those who are no longer operational. Their website provides information with regards to the different routes available for consumers depending on their personal circumstances: <a href="https://www.legalombudsman.org.uk/for-consumers/factsheets/complaining-about-closed-service-providers/" target="_blank">Complaining about closed service providers | Legal Ombudsman</a>.</p><p> </p><p>With regards to the issue of raising awareness among clients of McClures, there are requirements with respect to the advertising and publication of an insolvency so that creditors and other interested parties are made aware. The administration of McClures was advertised as required in the <a href="https://www.thegazette.co.uk/notice/3796214" target="_blank">London Gazette</a>. Information for former clients of McClures in Scotland was also published by <a href="https://www.lawscot.org.uk/news-and-events/law-society-news/mcclures-jones-whyte-faqs/" target="_blank">Law Society of Scotland</a>.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2022 answer text <p>The UK has a highly resilient food supply chain, as demonstrated throughout the Covid-19 response. It is well equipped to deal with situations with the potential to cause disruption. Our high degree of food security is built on supply from diverse sources; strong domestic production as well as imports through stable trade routes. We produce 60% of all the food we need, and 74% of food which we can grow or rear in the UK for all or part of the year, and these figures have changed little over the last 20 years.</p><p>UK consumers have access through international trade to food products that cannot be produced here, or at least not on a year-round basis. This supplements domestic production, and also ensures that any disruption from risks such as adverse weather or disease does not affect the UK's overall security of supply.</p><p>Recognising the importance of food security, in the Agriculture Act 2020, the Government made a commitment to produce an assessment of our food security at least once every three years. The first UK Food Security Report (UKFSR) was published in December 2021.</p><p>The UKFSR is an analysis of statistical data on food security in the UK. The report examines past, current and predicted trends relevant to food security, to present the best available and impartial analysis of food security in the UK, and to lay the groundwork for future Food Security Reports. While constructing the UKFSR, Defra consulted widely with leading food security experts in academia and engaged extensively with Government bodies and the devolved administrations. This information and the statistics used throughout the report informed its key findings.</p><p>The Government published its first ever food strategy on 13 June, outlining our plans to transform our food system to ensure it is fit for the future. Food security sits at the heart of the strategy. We want to create a sustainable food system, from farm to fork and catch to plate, seizing on the opportunities before us and ensuring that everyone has access to nutritious and healthier food.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 17/06/2022 13:45:09 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
