answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>In developing all policy related to EU exit, government departments have an ongoing responsibility to meet the Public Sector Equalities Duty under the Equality Act 2010. As such, any policy changes resulting from EU exit will be reviewed to ascertain whether they ​give rise to discrimination on grounds of sex, create equality of opportunity for women or the likelihood of discrimination based on sex, and foster good relations between women and men. The Public Sector Equality Duty will also apply in relation to the other protected characteristics.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/07/2017 15:58:10 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>We have been clear that we want to give citizens and business in the UK and the EU, and from around the world, as much certainty as possible, as early as possible. This is why we want to have reached agreement about our future partnership by the end of March 2019. From that point on, we believe a phased period of implementation, during which time both Britain and the EU Institutions and Member States prepare for the new relationship, will help both sides to minimise unnecessary disruption.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/07/2017 16:17:41 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, how many 24-hour days or equivalent fisheries protection vessels were at sea and operational in home waters in each of the last 10 years.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>We are unable to confirm the position at a UK level as fisheries protection is a devolved matter. However, the table below shows the number of days vessels were operational for the purposes of fisheries enforcement in England, since 2007.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p>Days</p></td><td><p>Type</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 07/08</p></td><td><p>740</p></td><td><p>24 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 08/09</p></td><td><p>753</p></td><td><p>24 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 09/10</p></td><td><p>705</p></td><td><p>24 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 10/11</p></td><td><p>675</p></td><td><p>24 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 11/12</p></td><td><p>659</p></td><td><p>24 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 12/13</p></td><td><p>562</p></td><td><p>12 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 13/14</p></td><td><p>512.5</p></td><td><p>12 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 14/15</p></td><td><p>509</p></td><td><p>9 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 15/16</p></td><td><p>419</p></td><td><p>9 hrs/day</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>FY 16/17</p></td><td><p>168.7</p></td><td><p>4048.3 total hrs patrol time</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>In April 2016 we changed from an existing agreement for fixed 9 hour days to a much more flexible hourly agreement for Royal Navy patrol time. This reflects the move towards a risk based, intelligence led operational model that enables targeted enforcement interventions in the right place at the right time.</p><p> </p><p>There has also been a proactive move towards utilising satellite technology in fisheries enforcement. For example, all vessels over 12 metres in length are fitted with satellite tracking devices (Vessel Monitoring System) which gives a 24/7 real time picture of where fishing activity is happening enabling the efficient employment of patrol vessels. The AIS (Automatic Identification System) is also used in fisheries enforcement to detect fishing activity, including where fishing vessels are operating. When supplemented by joint working with other agencies such as Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authorities (IFCAs), UK Border Force (UKBF) and the Police, this ensures effective and timely intervention where illegal activity is suspected. Radar sweeps can be used by patrol vessels to identify potential targets and the AIS (Automatic Identification System) is also used in fisheries enforcement to detect fishing activity, including where fishing vessels are operating.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/07/2017 16:09:47 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
