answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/05/2022 answer text <p>This Government has a bold and wide-ranging programme to help businesses cut the waste they produce, to recycle more and to ensure the environmental consequences of waste are minimised.</p><p>We recently published our plans for Extended Producer Responsibility on packaging, which will be introduced from 2024. We have consulted on a Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers with the response due shortly. We have introduced a plastic packaging tax of £200/tonne on plastic packaging that doesn’t contain at least 30% recycled content and are consulting on a target under the Environment Act to cut residual waste by 50% by 2042. This follows on from restrictions on single use plastics, including carrier bags, where we have also proposed going further still. We also work to help reduce food waste, supporting the Courtauld Commitment which works for a more sustainable supply chain tackling food waste, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water use and aims to halve food waste by 2030.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 26/05/2022 11:36:35 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/05/2021 answer text <p>Network Rail joined the cross-Government Public Sector Land for Housing Programme in April 2015 after it became a public sector body in 2014. Due to the complexities in how disposals are scored, it is difficult to provide the information over the time period you have requested. We can, however, readily provide information over four financial years – 2016/17 to 2019/20. Over this period, Network Rail has contracted to sell land capable of accommodating 8,180 homes and has generated a gross value of £237m. As well as these ‘business as usual’ disposals, Network Rail has also disposed of a long term interest in the majority of its Arches portfolio raising in excess £1.3bn in receipts from the disposal of a 250 year lease in over 5,000 tenanted spaces around the country in February 2019. The revenue made from these disposals forms part of the income which is reinvested in the railways.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 27/05/2021 14:02:53 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>NHS England has been closely monitoring the administration and performance of Primary Care Support England (PCSE) and reports that it has made good overall progress in improving the quality of the services provided.</p><p> </p><p>Improvements in administering general practitioner (GP) pensions are currently underway. NHS England is working with PCSE to address a range of historical and current issues, and implement new, consistent national processes. These replace a range of different local legacy processes. PCSE does not administer GP salaries.</p><p> </p><p>There is no data available on the average length of time taken to process changes in a GP’s circumstances in 2016-17. The speed of processing changes in a GP’s circumstances depends on the availability of complete information from the applicant, and appropriate authorisations for the change from relevant parties. NHS England has reported that recently received changes are typically being processed in two to six weeks.</p><p>Information on the number of overpayments and underpayments of GP pension contributions at 31 March 2017 is not yet available. It will be possible to calculate pension contributions for the year to 31 March 2017 in February 2018, once GPs have submitted details of their earnings for the financial year 2016/17.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine grouped question UIN 4636 4641 4642 question first answered 19/07/2017 13:34:27 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
