tabling member printed	Anthony Mangnall
uin	198832
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2023 answer text <p>The Fisheries and Seafood Scheme (FaSS) has had two distinct phases. Initially, we launched FaSS in April 2021 for one year, during which 529 applications were received, 98% (522) of which were successful and £8.5 million was allocated and spent. The scheme was relaunched in April 2022 and since then 815 applications have been received, 99% (808) of which were successful and £18 million has been allocated. This is in excess of the c. £12 million we originally allocated as a result of our efforts to keep the scheme open as long as possible. Unfortunately, we were still unable to fund new FaSS applications throughout 2023-24 and the scheme has now closed to new applications. FaSS will reopen in 2024 with a budget of £5 million to be allocated.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Mark Spencer question first answered 14/09/2023 11:35:02 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2023 answer text <p>The Storm Overflows Task Force was set up in 2020 with the objective of developing proposals to reduce the frequency and impact of sewage discharges. The Taskforce supported the design and development of the Government’s Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan. This was published in August 2022. The Task Force has therefore not met since as it has met its initial goal in the publication of the Plan. We intend to seek the input of the Taskforce in future when reviewing the delivery programme of the Plan as part of the next water industry Price Review which will commence in 2025.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 15/06/2023 11:44:31 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2023 answer text <p>The Government continues to challenge the restrictions imposed by the European Union on the import of undepurated Live Bivalve Molluscs from Class B waters. Most recently, the UK tabled this issue at the Trade Partnership Committee held on 1st December 2022, and again at the Partnership Council meeting between the Foreign Secretary and European Commission Vice-President on 24th March 2023. The minutes for the Trade Partnership Committee can be found on GOV.UK. The EU’s response to the UK’s challenge is that they will not resume trade in these commodities as they do not trade in them with any third country. The EU has recently responded to our requests for a risk assessment underpinning their position. This response is currently under consideration.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 09/06/2023 12:56:26 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
