answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>Neither the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) nor the Department can offer any financial assistance to operators whose vessels may be affected by these increased safety measures. It is not normal practice for the Government to compensate individuals or companies for changes brought about by enhancements in safety legislation. To do so would set a challenging precedent.</p><p>I have asked that the MCA look to achieve a fair balance between proportionality for operators and public safety. However, public safety will always take precedence over all other considerations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 01/05/2019 15:04:18 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The Chancellor has been clear that raising productivity is the only way to expand the economy in the long term. Doing so will mean encouraging growth in the manufacturing sector, boosting the adoption of technology and enabling more British firms to export. That’s why we increased the National Productivity Investment Fund to £37bn at Budget 2018, and have announced a wide range of productivity enhancing measures at previous fiscal events. Most recently this has included £81 million for a new extreme photonics centre in Oxfordshire, £45 million for the European Bioinformatics Institute, and £79 million for a new supercomputer to be hosted at Edinburgh University.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 02/05/2019 07:20:03 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2019 answer text <p>The UK continues to press the Burmese authorities to implement the Annan Commission recommendations, and has discussed the issue with international partners in various fora. Most recently, I raised the issue with the Burmese National Security Adviser during his visit to London in March. We recognise that the Burmese Government has begun to respond to some of the recommendations but there is still much to be done. Through coordinated efforts at the United Nations, the UK has ensured a focus on Burma at the Security Council and Human Rights Council, including on the question of conditions in Rakhine. In January 2019 the Foreign Secretary discussed Burma with Foreign Minister Balakrishnan of Singapore; he has also met representatives of Non-Governmental Organisations working in Burma.</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field grouped question UIN 247085 question first answered 02/05/2019 14:55:44 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field
