answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p> </p><p>While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. The distribution of branches is an operational matter of commercial judgement for the Post Office management team. I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to you on this matter. A copy of her reply will be placed in the Library of the House.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 18/10/2018 14:12:11 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Due to the spatial apportioning methods used and the relatively small spatial areas involved, the methodological uncertainty is high. Therefore the MMO can provide figures that are best estimates. In this case ‘waters’ means territorial waters and the Exclusive Economic Zone.</p><p> </p><p>On average between 2012 and 2016, Welsh-registered vessels landed approximately 5% (1,000 tonnes) of their total live weight and approximately 10% (£2 million) of their total landed value of fish from Irish waters.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 11/09/2018 12:11:32 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2018 answer text <p>Under the terms of the financial settlement, signed off by both UK and EU Commission negotiators in a draft Withdrawal Agreement and welcomed by the EU-27 at March European Council, the UK will continue to participate in all EU programmes funded by the 2014-20 Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). Agricultural funding will, therefore, be unaffected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU for the remainder of this MFF.</p><p> </p><p>Beyond 2020, this Government has also pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of the parliament, expected in 2022. This is a greater level of security and certainty for farmers and landowners than anywhere else in the EU, where funding has only been agreed up until 2020.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 24/05/2018 10:12:10 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
