answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>Police forces are operationally independent of Government, and Chief Constables have the autonomy to decide whether their force will adopt the Right Care Right Person approach which originated in Humberside Police. This is an approach supported in the findings of the Policing Productivity Review that is being carried out, hosted by the National Police Chiefs Council, and one that Chiefs Council have agreed to promote as a national model.</p><p>The model has been successfully deployed in Humberside and that people experiencing a mental health episode, where there is no immediate risk of serious harm or criminality, or the need for the use of police powers, will normally require a health response, ensuring those with the right skills and expertise can provide the best possible service for people in crisis.</p><p>Government and health partners are currently finalising a new National Partnership Agreement between the police and health sectors, which will help to ensure that any emergency calls for service are responded to by the most appropriate agency to attend that incident; that those with the right skills and expertise can provide the best possible service for people in crisis.</p><p>The approach will not mean that police completely withdraw from assisting where the threshold for their attendance has been met, where there is a real and immediate risk to life or serious harm or responding to a report of crime. As part of the National Decision Model, police are required to continually assess risk of harm and threat.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 07/06/2023 14:32:28 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>Defra works closely with leads across Government to advise on the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining and the provision of effective protection for the marine environment. This includes collaboration with DBT, who are responsible for state sponsorship of UK Seabed Resources’ two exploration contracts, and the FCDO, who lead the UK delegation to the International Seabed Authority (ISA), the international organisation through which States Parties organise and control deep-sea mining activities.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise the growing pressure to extract deep-sea resources and are deeply concerned about the potential impacts of mining activities on the fragile marine environment. This is why the UK will maintain its precautionary and conditional position of not sponsoring or supporting the issuing of any exploitation licences for deep sea mining projects unless and until there is sufficient scientific evidence about the potential impact on deep sea ecosystems, and a strong, enforceable environmental regulatory framework has been developed at the ISA and is in place.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 07/06/2023 16:55:46 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison

uin	187635
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2023 answer text <p>The UK Government plays a key role domestically and internationally to restore nature and halt global extinctions, both on land and in our ocean, through which we are delivering a range of activities which will contribute to the protection of known and currently undiscovered marine species.</p><p> </p><p>The UK was at the forefront of efforts to agree the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (“GBF”) at the UN Biodiversity Summit in December 2022. As leader of the Global Ocean Alliance, and Ocean co-chair of the High Ambition Coalition for Nature and People, the UK helped deliver this landmark global deal for nature, with ambitious commitments relating to the protection, restoration, sustainable use and management of biodiversity, including the targets to halt human-induced extinctions of known threatened species and to protect at least 30% of the global ocean by 2030 (30by30). Our Blue Belt programme now protects over 4.3 million square km of ocean around our overseas territories, and is an integral part of the UK’s contribution to the 30by30 target. We also continue to help developing countries around the world to protect their marine environments to the benefit of people and livelihoods through our £500m Blue Planet Fund, that aims to address climate change and biodiversity loss, support sustainable fisheries and tackle marine pollution.</p><p> </p><p>At home, the UK published an Environmental Improvement Plan in 2023, which sets out how we will deliver on the 25 Year Environment Plan. In English waters, we have established a comprehensive network of 178 marine protected areas covering 40% of English waters to help deliver the 30by30 commitment for the ocean, and we are now focusing on making sure they are protected properly. We have also committed to improve the Red List Index for England for species extinction by 2042 compared to 2022 levels.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 07/06/2023 16:52:45 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
