star this property answer text <p>Testing finished cosmetic products and cosmetic ingredients on animals is prohibited under EU Cosmetics Products Regulation. In the White Paper published on 12th July, the Government set out its ambition for a future economic partnership with the EU, which includes a proposal for a UK-EU free trade area underpinned by a common rulebook for goods. This would cover those rules necessary to provide for frictionless trade at the border and would be supported by arrangements covering all relevant compliance activity necessary for products to be sold in the UK and EU markets, while allowing the UK to negotiate new international trade agreements consistent with the proposals in the White Paper.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>By September our ongoing ‘Everyone In’ campaign had supported over 29,000 vulnerable people, with over 10,000 in emergency accommodation and nearly 19,000 provided with settled accommodation or move on support. Launched in the summer, the Government’s Next Steps Accommodation Programme makes available the financial resources needed to support local authorities and their partners to prevent those accommodated during the pandemic from returning to the streets. We announced allocations of £91.5 million to local authorities on 17 September to pay for immediate support to ensure that as many people as possible do not return to the streets. On 29 October, we announced allocations of more than £150 million to local partners to deliver more than 3,300 new long-term homes for rough sleepers across the country.</p><p>Backed by a further £15 million, the ‘Protect Programme’ forms part of the ongoing targeted support to protect some of the most vulnerable people in our communities from COVID-19. This is on top of the previously announced £10 million Cold Weather Fund for all councils to help keep rough sleepers safe this winter. This takes the total we are spending to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping in 2020/21 to over £700 million.</p>

This represents a significant, transformational investment in new high needs provision. It will support local authorities to deliver new places in mainstream and special schools, as well as other specialist settings, and will also be used to improve the suitability and accessibility of existing buildings.</p><p>As part of this commitment, in March 2022, the department announced High Needs Provision Capital Allocations amounting to over £1.4 billion of new investment, focused on the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years. In June 2022, the department announced we will build up to 60 new, centrally delivered special and AP free schools. The application process for special schools opened on 10 June 2022.</p><p>This is alongside an increase in high needs revenue funding, which is rising by £1.65 billion over two years, between the 2021/22 and 2023/4 financial years. This is an increase of 21%, bringing total high needs revenue funding to over £9.7 billion by 2023/24. In addition, the department is continuing to work with local authorities with the highest dedicated schools grant deficits as part of the safety valve programme and the introduction of the Delivering Better Value programme.</p>
