tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	236350
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2019 answer text <p>At the 2014 NATO Wales Summit, all Allies signed the Defence Investment Pledge (DIP) to spend 2% of GDP on defence and 20% of that on major equipment by 2024. The UK fully supports the DIP and has been clear on the need for increased defence spending in the Alliance to meet an evolving and complex security environment. The UK welcomed the Secretary General's recent announcement that non-US Allies will spend an extra $100 billion on defence over 2016-2020, and $350 billion by 2024. However, the UK remains clear that this upward trend must continue and regularly engages with Allies at all levels on this. For example, I spoke on the issue of burden sharing at the February NATO Defence Ministerial, where I welcomed progress already made and urged Allies to do more to meet their commitments.</p> answering member constituency South Staffordshire answering member printed Gavin Williamson question first answered 02/04/2019 14:52:46 answering member 4108 label Biography information for Sir Gavin Williamson

tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	236351
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>The best way to provide continuity and stability in our global trading relationships is to have a deal with the European Union so that the UK can remain covered by all existing trade agreements during the Implementation Period. After this we will seek to bring into force bilateral agreements that replicate the effects of existing agreements as far as possible.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Government is working to have bilateral agreements in place ready for when we need them, whether that is in the event of no deal, or after the proposed implementation period. The Government has signed trade continuity agreements with Chile, the Faroe Islands, the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) trade bloc, Switzerland, Israel, Palestinian Authority, Pacific states and CARIFORUM countries. We expect these to be in place by exit day, even in the event of a no deal. This list is kept up to date on Gov.uk (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/signed-uk-trade-agreements-transitioned-from-the-eu" target="_blank">LINK</a>) as we continue to sign trade continuity agreements. The Government has also initialled an agreement with EEA countries Iceland and Norway. This is expected to be signed shortly. Liechtenstein is covered under an additional agreement to the UK-Switzerland Trade Agreement.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 28/03/2019 09:56:39 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>At the United Nations General Assembly last September, the UK Government called for 30% of the world’s oceans to be protected within Marine Protected Areas by 2030. We are working both domestically and internationally to achieve this goal.</p><p> </p><p>At home, we already have 314 marine protected sites, covering 24% of UK waters. In addition, we have consulted on a further 41 Marine Conservation Zones. Sites to be designated will be in place by 7 June. Around the UK Overseas Territories, including Ascension Island, we are on track to deliver over 4 million km2 of protected ocean by 2020. Overall more than 50% of all UK waters are set to be in Marine Protected Areas.</p><p> </p><p>In the 2019 Spring Statement, the UK Government announced that it is backing an Ascension Island bid to protect 100% of its offshore waters. Ascension Island plans to designate over 445,00km<sup>2</sup> of its waters as a fully protected no-take Marine Protected Area.</p><p> </p><p>Internationally, the UK is working together with key stakeholders and other countries to secure agreement to a new global 30by30 target to be included as part of the Convention on Biological Diversity post-2020 agenda for agreement at the Convention of Parties in China in 2020. Agreement of the new Implementing Agreement under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea for the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction is crucial for this target to be achieved. The UK is pushing hard for the new agreement to be completed in 2020.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 01/04/2019 16:10:02 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2019 answer text <p>As Minister Robin Walker set out in his answer to Question 231383 on 21 March - as part of the Withdrawal Agreement, we have reached a fair financial settlement with the EU, honouring commitments we made during our period of membership, and ensuring a fair deal for UK taxpayers. In the event that we leave the EU without a deal, the financial settlement as set out in the Withdrawal Agreement would no longer apply.</p><p>The Government recognises that the UK has obligations to the EU, and the EU obligations to the UK, that will survive the UK’s withdrawal—and that these need to be resolved. But in a no deal scenario we would need to determine how to do so.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 01/04/2019 10:29:02 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>Over the Spending Review period, councils will receive more than £200 billion to spend on local services. Havering Council will have available over £850 million of core Spending Power during this period. The majority of this funding is not ringfenced and it is for local authorities, who are independent of central government, to manage their budgets in line with locally determined priorities. Extra funding announced in Budget 2018 means Government will have given councils access to £10 billion dedicated funding that can be used for adult social care in the three year period to 2019-20.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 28/03/2019 12:55:04 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
