tabling member printed	Lord Goodlad
uin	HL2413
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2021 answer text <p>The Government has received representations from a range of organisations, including the National Farmers’ Union, the Food and Drink Federation and the Road Haulage Association, regarding the requirement to introduce a short-term visa system for foreign workers.</p><p>The Government position remains we will not be introducing a short-term visa allowing recruitment at or near the minimum wage with no work-based training requirements. Immigration must be considered alongside investment in, and development of, the UK's domestic labour force, rather than as an alternative to it. This is especially relevant in light of the many UK workers who face an uncertain future given the economic impacts of the pandemic and the end of the furlough scheme. Employers facing recruitment difficulties should in the first instance engage with the Department for Work and Pension about the support they can provide.</p><p>The UK Government is closely monitoring labour supply and working with economic sector leaders to promote jobs, training, and a range of other initiatives.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 20/09/2021 14:35:48 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Goodlad
uin	HL2414
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2021 answer text <p>Local authorities already undertake enforcement action in relation to breaches relating to licensable activity involving dogs, such as sales, breeding and boarding activities, as set out under section 3 of The Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (England) Regulations 2018 (the 2018 Regulations).</p><p> </p><p>These regulations were developed to help improve welfare standards across a range of animal-related activities that are licensed by local authorities. The 2018 Regulations built on previous well-established requirements, many of which have existed for over 50 years including the animal boarding legislation which dates from 1963. Standards of welfare have developed considerably since that time, not least with the passing of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (the 2006 Act).</p><p> </p><p>The Government guidance which supports the 2018 Regulations is statutory, and local authorities are required to take it into account. This guidance aims to improve consistency in interpretation and application of the licensing regime across England. A person who carries on any licensed activity without a licence issued under the 2018 Regulations commits an offence under section 13(6) of the 2006 Act and would be liable to imprisonment for a term of up to six months, a fine, or both. Local authorities are provided with broad enforcement powers under the 2006 Act and, under section 30 of the 2006 Act, may prosecute any breach of the legislation.</p> answering member printed Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park question first answered 21/09/2021 07:44:15 answering member 4062 label Biography information for Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
