Our transition policy is therefore to ensure UK industry retains trade remedy protections on exit, and so we are committed to carrying across existing measures where there is a UK interest, and then reviewing them to make them UK specific. We will follow this approach for any anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and safeguard measures that are in place on exit day.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 18/02/2019 17:46:04 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>The extra £5 million allocated by the Department for International Development in January to demining is all going to the UN Mine Action Service, who will work with contractors to clear explosive devices in Iraq. This work is humanitarian in nature, with the focus being on the removal of mines from hospitals, schools and people's homes. No military personnel are therefore deployed to this task. However, UK forces are training the Iraqi Security Forces in countering improvised explosive devices (IED) in a military context. This training increases the capabilities of the Iraqi forces to deal with the ongoing threat the country faces from Daesh IEDs.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 18/02/2019 16:38:19 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>Winter fuel payments give reassurance, particularly to poorer pensioners that they can keep warm during the colder months. The DWP currently issues around 12 million winter fuel payments. Introducing an option on the notification for customers to donate their winter fuel payment would introduce complexity to the process. Recipients are of course free to donate the payment to a charity of their choice.</p><p> </p><p>The DWP also has a process in place should a recipient wish to return their payment. In these circumstances the customer should return the payment to the relevant benefit office, the address of which can be found at the top of the notification.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 18/02/2019 17:28:49 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has not formally signed up to the National Living Wage rates, as defined by the Living Wage Foundation. While the Secretary of State exceptionally agreed as part of the 2015 pay deal to match the Living Wage Foundation's London Living Wage rate, this did not extend to other staff as the levels of pay for staff outside London were considered appropriate. The Department continues to review all salaries and the position taken in 2015 has not changed.</p><p>I can confirm that the MOD continues to pay above the Government's National Living Wage and that arrangements are in place to increase salaries when the hourly rate announced by the Chancellor in his November 2018 Autumn Statement is increased to £8.21 with effect from 1 April 2019.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 18/02/2019 16:39:29 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
