answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2022 answer text <p>In July 2021, Government committed to make changes to the Flood Re scheme, that provides affordable insurance to households at high risk of flooding. These will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the scheme and increase the uptake of property flood resilience measures helping communities across the UK to become more resilient to the changing climate. Government laid draft regulations in Parliament on 27 January implementing these changes including allowing insurers to help flooded households to build back better, up to a value of £10,000 above the cost of like-for-like reinstatement. This will make their homes more resilient to future flooding using products such as air brick covers, flood doors and water-resistant kitchens and plasterboard.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>Leaving the EU presents a major opportunity for UK agriculture. We are working towards achieving the best possible deal for the UK agricultural industry and we want to ensure a deep and lasting agreement with the European Union. For plant variety rights and testing, as with all other areas, future arrangements are subject to negotiation with the EU. We are aware that Article 39 of the Community Plant Variety Rights Regulation offers the possibility of observer status in CPVO’s Administrative Council, which is currently available to accession states and organisations representing the plant breeding industry. The Administrative Council’s main role concerns finance, budgets and management.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 27/11/2017 12:53:40 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

Over the last year Government has acted to level the playing field for UK steel producers in light of the complex global challenges faced by the UK steel sector. Last December Government issued guidance to central government departments on how to ensure that they take full account of the value provided by UK steel producers when conducting their procurement activities. This guidance is also being extended to the wider public sector.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 04/11/2016 13:24:19 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/10/2016 answer text <p>Convictions for offences under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 are recorded on the Police National Computer and are not held on a public register. The Government would be concerned about the level of access to a public register, and Data Protection Act requirements would also apply. However, police forces are exploring how access to information relating to people banned from keeping animals might be improved for local authorities and other bodies with an enforcement role.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 17/10/2016 16:36:55 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
