answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2022 answer text <p>HM Government has established eight British agriculture, food and drink attachés for the growth markets of the Americas, Africa and the Indo-Pacific. They will broaden market access for our food and drink exporters and drive export growth for sectors like the wine industry, which accounted for almost £470 million of British exports in 2021.</p><p> </p><p>We are negotiating trade deals and removing barriers to trade faced by the wine industry too. Our Free Trade Agreement with Norway recognises the protected status of certain British products, meaning that consumers in Norway can continue to enjoy iconic products – like English Sparkling Wine – with the confidence it is both genuine and of the high quality we know and love.</p> answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena question first answered 09/03/2022 15:41:29 answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2022 answer text <p>The Department is committed to ensuring older people can live in the right kind of homes that suit their needs, in places where they want to live. A new government taskforce, as announced in the Levelling Up White Paper, will look at the ways we can provide greater security, choice and quality of housing for older people. Further details on the scope of the taskforce work will be confirmed in due course.</p><p>The Department will also publish a White Paper this Spring, which will set out proposals to create a fairer private rented sector and we will bring forward legislation in due course. We recognise that the change in size and makeup of the private rented sector, with an increasing number of older people now renting their homes, means there is a growing need for longer and more stable tenancies. As part of the package of reforms, we intend to repeal Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 to improve security for tenants by putting an end to evictions where the landlord does not have to give a reason.</p><p>We will also give consideration to the impact of our reforms on people with protected characteristics, including the impact on older people.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 09/03/2022 17:38:59 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/03/2022 answer text <p>All inhabited Overseas Territories (OTs), including the Cayman Islands, are fully committed to meeting international standards on anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing, including those set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The UK supports the OTs in meeting these standards. Following its FATF evaluation in 2019, Cayman was given an extensive list of recommendations and made huge progress on these. Cayman was listed by the FATF in 2021 on the basis of the limited number of outstanding deficiencies, and similarly by the EU in 2022. FATF has since recognised that one deficiency has already been addressed. Cayman is also either 'compliant' or 'largely compliant' with all of FATF technical recommendations on anti-money laundering. We welcome the substantial progress made to date by the Cayman Islands Government and their commitment to address the remaining areas identified by the FATF and the EU. The OTs have demonstrated that they are responsible jurisdictions, with a strong track record of full cooperation with the UK in matters relating to taxation, fighting financial crime and countering terrorist finance.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 09/03/2022 10:53:00 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling
