	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2020 answer text <p>The following data shows the percentage change between the live weight of landed catch as recorded in logbooks, landing declarations and sales notes, for the species referred to, as reported by English administered over-10 metre vessels landed into UK ports in 2019. This information is based on data currently held by the Marine Management Organisation.</p><p> </p><p>It should be noted that this data is yet to go through full validation checks, undertaken each year in advance of publication of the UK Annual Sea Fisheries Statistics. In addition, whilst valuable for initial cross-checking, the logbook is essentially a diary record of fishing activity maintained by skippers and not the formal landing declaration which documents the precise weight of landed catch.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="6"><p>Logbook, landing declaration and sales note live weights for selected species reported by English administered over 10 m vessels landed in to UK ports: Unvalidated data 2019 nei = not elsewhere included</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Species Name</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Logbook Live Weight (tonnes)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Sales Note Live Weight (tonnes)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Landing Declaration Live Weight (tonnes)</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Logbook to Sales Note Percentage Change</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Logbook to Landing Declaration Percentage Change</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Anglerfishes nei</p></td><td><p>4,092</p></td><td><p>2,907</p></td><td><p>4,167</p></td><td><p>-29%</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Atlantic cod</p></td><td><p>5,750</p></td><td><p>2,660</p></td><td><p>5,652</p></td><td><p>-54%</p></td><td><p>-2%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Brill</p></td><td><p>228</p></td><td><p>251</p></td><td><p>255</p></td><td><p>10%</p></td><td><p>12%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Common squids nei</p></td><td><p>122</p></td><td><p>264</p></td><td><p>185</p></td><td><p>116%</p></td><td><p>51%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>European plaice</p></td><td><p>1,484</p></td><td><p>1,515</p></td><td><p>1,542</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td><td><p>4%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gurnard</p></td><td><p>853</p></td><td><p>872</p></td><td><p>970</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td><td><p>14%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>John dory</p></td><td><p>106</p></td><td><p>138</p></td><td><p>137</p></td><td><p>30%</p></td><td><p>29%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Lemon sole</p></td><td><p>594</p></td><td><p>644</p></td><td><p>728</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td><td><p>23%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Megrims nei</p></td><td><p>840</p></td><td><p>795</p></td><td><p>841</p></td><td><p>-5%</p></td><td><p>0%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Red mullets</p></td><td><p>36</p></td><td><p>46</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>28%</p></td><td><p>30%</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Whiting</p></td><td><p>2,206</p></td><td><p>2,258</p></td><td><p>2,379</p></td><td><p>2%</p></td><td><p>8%</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Source: UK Fisheries Administrations</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 18/02/2020 14:27:40 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2020 answer text <p>The Agriculture Bill will introduce ambitious new schemes in England, based on the principle of “public money for public goods”, which will allow us to reward farmers and land managers who protect our environment, improve animal welfare and produce high quality food in a more sustainable way.</p><p> </p><p>Our Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme is the cornerstone of our new agricultural policy. Founded on the principle of “public money for public goods”, ELM is intended to provide a powerful contribution to achieving the goals of the 25 Year Environment Plan and commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050, while supporting our rural economy.</p><p> </p><p>We are working closely with a range of environmental and agricultural stakeholders to collaboratively design the new ELM scheme so that it is fit for purpose. We are currently running a programme of Tests and Trials, the priorities for which are the building blocks we will need for the National Pilot, due to commence in late 2021 and run to 2024. The National Pilot will provide a critical opportunity to test and refine the scheme design prior to full roll out of the ELM scheme in late 2024 across England.</p><p> </p><p>Clause 3 of the Agriculture Bill provides the Secretary of State with the power to make regulations to check, enforce and monitor the conditions of financial assistance provided under the Bill. This includes the power to establish a mechanism for appealing against decisions. Clauses 4 to 6 of the Bill also require the publication of multi-annual financial assistance plans, annual financial reports and impact and effectiveness reports. This transparency will enable public scrutiny of our future spending plans and the extent to which Government funding for agriculture, horticulture and forestry activities has been delivered on a value for money basis.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 18/02/2020 14:35:56 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
