answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>When a Universal Service Provider (USP) of public call boxes in the street - BT or, in the Kingston upon Hull area, KCom - wishes to remove one, the provider must inform the appropriate local authority, which then must consult with local people. The factors that weigh with local authorities in these cases commonly include: the call box's possible use in emergency situations; the quality of mobile signals in the area; and if people living nearby might not have access to mobile telephones, for whatever reason.</p><p> </p><p>Since it is better for such matters to be considered locally on a case-by-case basis, the Secretary of State has made no overall assessment of the role of public telephones in the situations referred to.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 30/06/2017 12:18:24 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>All pesticides are subject to a stringent authorisation process before they can be placed on the market and used. At the centre of this process is an assessment by the Health and Safety Executive of scientific information on the risks that can arise from the use of these products. If the risks to people or to the environment are unacceptable, the pesticide is not authorised. Possible risks to bees are considered in this process.</p><p> </p><p>Conditions are placed on the use of authorised pesticides to ensure the protection of people and the environment. These conditions may include maximum dose rates or restrictions on timing and place of application. Farmers and growers are required by law to take all reasonable precautions when using pesticides and to confine applications to the target area.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 30/06/2017 12:10:56 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

They stressed the need for humanitarian access and a credible investigation into reports of violations.</p><p>Furthermore as recently as March, the UK supported the creation of a UN Human Rights Council-mandated Independent International Fact Finding Mission to look into the situation in Rakhine State. We urge Burma to cooperate fully with this mission. We also fully support the Rakhine Advisory Commission led by former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. Naturally this is an ongoing situation which we shall continue to monitor closely.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 30/06/2017 12:41:50 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>In the UK there are strong rules in place controlling the sale of ivory, backed up by robust enforcement from Border Force and the National Wildlife Crime Unit. Our measures already go further than the requirements of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) and EU law; for example, the UK CITES Management Authority’s policy is not to issue certificates for the sale of raw African elephant ivory of any age. Any further action will be announced in the normal way.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 30/06/2017 12:13:48 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
