answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2018 answer text <p>The RAF takes its responsibility seriously to design RAF Brize Norton airspace in a manner to benefit the safety of all airspace users. The proposed changes are designed to improve safety for those users by reducing the chances of them coming into conflict with heavy transport aircraft in uncontrolled airspace. In developing the new procedures for use, and the subsequent consultation, the need to minimise additional controlled airspace in this area was a key consideration to try to minimise disruption to airspace users.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2012 the Ministry of Defence has removed large areas of adjacent controlled airspace around the RAF Lyneham site and a parachute dropping danger area at Hullavington Aerodrome. RAF Brize Norton remains fully committed to providing services to all aircraft that wish to cross its airspace. We encourage pilots who wish to transit the Brize Norton Controlled Airspace to first consult with Brize Norton Air Traffic Control.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 129625 question first answered 06/03/2018 16:41:37 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

The 2012 Regulations have recently been reviewed by Defra. The review found that the Regulations have been successful in promoting and monitoring high welfare standards for wild animals in travelling circuses in England. The Regulations will expire on 19 January 2020. The Government does not intend to renew the Regulations as it intends to ensure that a legislative ban is introduced by then.</p><p> </p><p>The welfare of other animals in circuses is covered by new regulations laid in Parliament on 8 February that will replace existing laws on performing animals. The new regulations will mean circuses will need to adhere to strict statutory minimum animal welfare standards, which will be enforced by local authorities. The new regulations will come into force on 1 October.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 01/03/2018 17:19:03 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
