question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will review the working of section 14 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and publish a new Code of Conduct relating to rabbits to bring the living space and welfare requirements for rabbits more in line with those in effect in other EU countries.
tabling member constituency	Newport West
tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	8721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>The Animal Welfare Act 2006 provides a comprehensive legal framework protecting the welfare of kept rabbits. Given that owners and potential owners can obtain specific advice on rabbit keeping from rabbit welfare and other animal welfare organisations, there is no need to introduce a statutory code of practice for pet rabbits under section 14 of the Act.</p><p>There is no specific EU wide legislation for the protection of farmed rabbits. In England, they are protected by the Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007 and Defra’s code of recommendations for farmed rabbits. This code reflects the housing requirements as set out in the 2005 European Food Safety Authority’s scientific opinion on the health and welfare of farmed domestic rabbits.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/09/2015 10:08:29 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the total cost to the public purse (a) was of the Gwent Police Authority in the financial year 2010-11 and (b) has been of the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner in each year since 2012; and what assessment she has made of the value for money of the Police and Crime Commissioner in Gwent.
tabling member constituency	Newport West
tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	8785
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government does not collate centrally information in respect of the cost of the former Gwent Police Authority or the Gwent Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).</p><p>Under the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011, it is the responsibility of PCCs to determine how each police area’s funding settlement is allocated, including setting the police force budget and the running of the PCC’s office.</p><p>The 2011 Act specifies that PCCs must publish key information as prescribed by the Secretary of State. The Elected Local Policing Bodies (Specified Information) Order 2011 (and amended in 2012) sets out what information must be published: <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/3050/contents/made" target="_blank">http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/3050/contents/made</a></p><p>The publication of this information enables the local electorate to judge whether the PCC is making the best use of public money at the ballot box.</p><p>PCCs perform a completely different role from the old Police Authorities. PCCs are providing accountable, visible leadership, and making a real difference to policing locally. Not only have they brought real local accountability to how Chief Constables and their forces perform, they are working hard to ensure that their local communities have a stronger voice in policing.</p><p>The Home Affairs Select Committee recognised in their 2014 report that individual police and crime commissioners are providing greater clarity of leadership for policing in their areas, and are increasingly recognised for the strategic direction they are providing. In contrast, Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary found, in 2010, that only four of the 22 police authorities inspected were judged to have performed well in two of their primary functions: setting strategic direction and ensuring value for money.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 09/09/2015 15:26:23 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
