answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The United Kingdom will maintain the requirements of European Union food safety legislation after leaving the EU. This will ensure that food standards applicable to both domestically produced and imported food are maintained and that UK food businesses continue to apply controls that are widely accepted by other countries.</p><p>It is not possible to determine an exact figure for trichinella costs going forward as this is dependent on the number of pigs slaughtered in a particular year, however, the UK will maintain the current testing requirements and the costs associated with testing should similarly remain the same.</p><p>In financial year 2018/19, the Food Standards Agency (FSA) spent approximately £565,000 on trichinella testing of which £275,000 was recovered through charges for official controls. The FSA will ensure that the resources required to maintain standards and level of testing for trichinella control are available after exit.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 11/06/2019 15:35:02 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

Governance arrangements are being finalised and the central project team is in place.</p><p>This is complex and world-leading work that will involve the development of an evaluation framework and commercial model, as well as undertaking a value assessment for the products included in the test.</p><p>It is anticipated to take between 18 months to two years before payments are implemented.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 11/06/2019 16:28:20 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy

uin	259026
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold specific data on whether cargo was moving within vehicles involved in accidents, as this information is not required from the police in the Stats19 data collection. However, ‘overloaded or poorly loaded vehicle or trailer’ can be recorded as a contributory factor.</p><p> </p><p>The Department periodically reviews the data collection on personal injury road accidents reported to the police, in a process called Stats19 reviews. A Stats19 review started in autumn 2018 and is currently considering what amendments need to be made to the collection.</p><p> </p><p>In making recommendations for change, the review considers evidence on the burden this would impose on the police to collect it for every accident, the practicality and likely quality of the data collected and potential benefits in building the road safety evidence base to save lives. We aim to consult on potential changes to the collection in 2020 following detailed engagement with the police and road safety organisations in 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 11/06/2019 15:24:43 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis
