tabling member constituency	Strangford
tabling member printed	Jim Shannon
uin	195591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) is a rare condition with an estimated 1/17,000 children born with the condition in the United Kingdom. We estimate that there are currently 5,000 people living with the condition.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the way data is collected, the exact number of EB diagnoses is difficult to ascertain. Finished admission episodes (FAE) data for England show that in the financial year of 2013-14, 313 patients received a primary diagnosis of EB. In the following years 244 (2014-15), 360 (2015-16), 346 (2016-167) and 349 (2017-18) patients, respectively, received a primary diagnosis of EB. A FAE is the first period of admitted patient care under one consultant within one healthcare provider. Admissions do not represent the number of patients, as a person may have more than one admission within the period.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 04/12/2018 11:25:05 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

This is one third of our expected investment in rail upgrades between 2019 and 2024, and our biggest planned investment project on the existing railway in the next five years.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also committed to developing Northern Powerhouse Rail - we have given Transport for the North £60m to develop proposals for the scheme, alongside £300m to ensure HS2 can accommodate future NPR services. At Budget 2018 we announced a further £37m for next year to continue to develop the scheme.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 04/12/2018 13:09:14 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

It did not challenge the nature of the Capacity Market mechanism itself. The judgment removed State aid approval for the Capacity Market, preventing the UK Government from making any further capacity payments under existing agreements until re-approval.</p><p> </p><p>We are already working closely with the Commission to aid their investigation and seek timely State aid approval for the Capacity Market as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p>The Government and National Grid will ensure that market participants are kept updated.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/12/2018 10:05:27 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

tabling member constituency	Thornbury and Yate
tabling member printed	Luke Hall
uin	195690
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/12/2018 answer text <p>Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (the 2006 Act), it is an offence to fail to provide for an animal’s welfare or to cause it any unnecessary suffering. The 2006 Act is backed up by the statutory Code of Practice for the Welfare of Horses, Ponies, Donkeys and Their Hybrids (the Code). The Code provides owners and keepers with information on how to meet the welfare needs of their horses and includes a specific section on how to tether a horse. Local authorities have powers under the 2006 Act to investigate allegations of cruelty or poor welfare. In addition, welfare organisations such as the RPSCA and World Horse Welfare (WHW) may also investigate such matters. If anyone is concerned about the way a horse has been tethered, they should report the matter either to the relevant local authority, or to the RSPCA or WHW who can investigate. If a horse is found not to be tethered appropriately, it could lead to a prosecution under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. I therefore consider that there is legislation and guidance in place in respect of tethering of horses.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 04/12/2018 11:40:00 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
