uin	256356
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2019 answer text <p>This is a devolved matter and the information provided therefore relates to England only, unless otherwise stated.</p><p> </p><p>Emissions of greenhouse gases from peat extraction in the UK in 2017, were an estimated 337,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents. Commercial extraction in England is licenced on approximately 664 hectares of peatland, across 29 sites.</p><p> </p><p>The National Planning Policy Framework, first published in 2012, ends the granting of new licences for peat extraction. Therefore, peat extraction in England will end when the remaining licences come to an end. We are also continuing to focus on reducing demand for peat in horticulture in England. This not only protects UK peat bogs, but recognises that two thirds of the peat sold in the UK is imported from the rest of Europe. In the 25 Year Plan for the Environment we signalled to the industry that if we have not seen sufficient movement to peat alternatives by 2020, then we would take further measures. We are discussing what these potential further measures could look like.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also working with the industry to make the transition to peat alternatives, and to overcome the barriers to their use. For example, we are jointly funding research with the industry to overcome barriers to peat replacement in professional horticulture. We have also worked with the industry to develop a Responsible Sourcing Scheme for Growing Media, which allows manufacturers and retailers to make informed choices of growing media inputs to amateur/retail products, based on environmental and social impacts.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 256355 256363 question first answered 23/05/2019 10:44:17 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

uin	253708
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>Delivering a deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government’s top priority. However, if the UK leaves the EU without a deal, the same customs rules will broadly apply to transporting instruments and equipment to the EU as apply to trade between the UK and non-EU countries. This will include the use of temporary admission and applications for Returned Goods Relief.</p><p> </p><p>Alternatively, ATA carnets are available for commercial goods, professional equipment or goods going to trade fair or exhibition in participating countries, which are moved on a temporary basis to a new customs territory (i.e. they will not be sold and will return to the country of origin). This includes musical instruments.</p><p> </p><p>In a no deal scenario, the process of using an ATA Carnet (or a temporary admission declaration) will become an acceptable option for moving goods temporarily between the UK and EU, as the UK will become a single customs territory. The process for obtaining and using a Carnet will remain as it is now.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 16/05/2019 13:41:53 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>Local authorities will receive over £3.1 billion in 2019/20 for use on public health. It is for local authorities themselves to determine how best to use these resources based on their assessment of local need and with regard to their statutory duties. This funding is in addition to what the National Health Service spends on public health, which included over £1.2 billion in 2018/19 on national public health programmes such as immunisations and screening. Future funding arrangements for local authorities’ health duties will be considered carefully in the next spending review, in the light of all the available evidence.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Seema Kennedy question first answered 13/05/2019 16:32:28 answering member 4455 label Biography information for Seema Kennedy
