answer text <p>A survey is carried out every two years to collect information about vehicles travelling on the roads. Vehicles with non-UK registration numbers are identified during this survey. This information has been used to produce estimates of the number of foreign-registered vehicles in the UK and the latest available figures can be seen at: <a href="http://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/tra32-foreign-registered-vehicles-in-traffic" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/tra32-foreign-registered-vehicles-in-traffic</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Foreign registered vehicles that are brought temporarily into the UK are normally exempt from registration and licensing requirements for up to six months in any twelve month period, as long as they comply with the requirements of the home country. Once this exemption period has passed or the keeper of the vehicle becomes resident in the UK, the vehicle must be licensed and registered here.</p><p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency works with the police to enforce against foreign registered vehicles that have overstayed the exemption period. Where there is sufficient evidence that a vehicle keeper has not complied with UK requirements enforcement action, including the wheelclamping, removal and disposal of a vehicle, can be taken.</p>

answer text <p>The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) has a procedure in place for communicating to cattle keepers the lifting of movement restrictions when a bovine TB breakdown has been resolved. The official notifications are issued when all the necessary TB tests have been completed on their farm businesses and any further checks have confirmed their herds are eligible to regain Official TB Free (OTF) status.</p><p> </p><p>APHA’s current target for issuing TB10 to lift the restrictions is within 2 weeks of the date of the final clear test.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally and as part of this procedure, a cattle keeper can contact the relevant APHA administration team and/or their APHA case veterinarian and request urgent lifting of movement restrictions. If a customer contacts us with such a request we will expedite that request as long as all the requirements to regain OTF status are met.</p><p> </p><p>APHA’s internal procedures are subject to regular review process to ensure that its service fully meets the agreed needs of its customers.</p>

answer text <p>All DB pension schemes are required to pay Pension Protection Fund (PPF) risked based levy. The PPF levy is the only payment that schemes are required to make to the PPF prior to insolvency. After an employer insolvency event, the pension scheme will enter a PPF assessment period, where the PPF will determine whether the scheme has sufficient funds to pay benefits at PPF compensation levels or above. Schemes that do not meet this test will transfer into the PPF (including any assets) and scheme members will receive PPF compensation.</p><p> </p><p>The Government sets the legislative framework for pension schemes - this is overseen by the independent Pensions Regulator, and it would not be appropriate for Government to intervene.</p><p> </p><p>There have been no discussions between the DWP Ministers and the Pensions Regulator regarding payments made by Carillion into the PPF.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Clean Growth Strategy makes a commitment to explore how we can better incentivise producers to manage resources more efficiently through producer responsibility schemes. The 25 Year Environment Plan builds on this and commits to reform the producer responsibility system (including the packaging waste regulations) to incentivise producers to take greater responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is developing a renewed strategy on resources and waste that looks ahead at opportunities outside the EU. This will set out the detail of how we will meet the ambitions for resources and waste that are set out in the Clean Growth Strategy and 25 Year Environment Plan. This will include extended producer responsibility. The strategy will be published later this year.</p><p> </p><p>We will consult on our proposals to reform the existing Producer Responsibility Packaging Waste Regulations later this year after the publication of the Resources and Waste Strategy. This will look at all aspects of the regime, including future recycling targets, mechanisms to incentivise better design and encourage the use of recycled material, as well as the funding of collection within the system.</p>

answer text <p>The terms of reference, as published, remain correct. They set out that badger culling is within the scope of the Bovine TB strategy review. They explain that this is not narrowly a review of culling but of the whole Bovine TB strategy, of which culling is just one part. They also make clear the review will not revisit the rationale for current interventions deployed to tackle the disease.</p><p> </p><p>The review of the Bovine TB strategy is forward looking and will consider what steps can be taken to improve, enhance or accelerate interventions to achieve the eradication of bovine TB.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
