answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/04/2024 answer text <p>Electronic Travel Authorisations deliver important security benefits. A blanket exemption to the ETA requirement for passengers transiting airside would fundamentally undermine the rationale of the scheme by creating a permission free route of travel into the UK which would be open to abuse.</p><p>The process for obtaining an ETA is quick and light touch, and the cost (£10 per application) is minimal compared to the overall cost of international travel. An ETA will be valid for two years, or until the expiry of the passport used to apply, and can be used for multiple trips during this period.</p><p>We will keep our position under review to monitor the impact on transit as the scheme is rolled out.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove grouped question UIN 20602 question first answered 19/04/2024 09:24:25 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2016 answer text <p>The draft hepatitis C Improvement Framework has focused on public health improvements in hepatitis C. As such, this does not include provisions on clinical commissioning groups and local authorities to engage with Operational Delivery Networks to jointly commission services as this is beyond the governance remit of the work. In its 2014 report <em>Hepatitis C in the UK</em>, Public Health England recommended that “Health (and, in England, local authority) commissioners should work together to consider how to improve the availability, access and uptake of approved hepatitis C treatments in primary and secondary care, drug treatment services, prisons and other settings, and to drive innovative approaches to provide outreach”. In support of this, I hosted a summit on 3 March 2015 with local authority and voluntary sector representatives, public health and clinical experts to share best practice and explore actions that could be taken at local government level to significantly reduce the burden of hepatitis C and tuberculosis in England.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 08/01/2016 15:15:59 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison
