question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what estimate she has made of the amount of ivory that will no longer be bought and sold in the UK market as a result of the ban of post-1947 ivory sales.
tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	56005
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2016 answer text <p>Although the proposed ban on sales of ivory less than 70 years old is expected to have a relatively modest impact on volumes of trade, the global trade for modern ivory is more likely to fuel demand and provide a means of laundering fresh ivory from illegally-killed elephants than trade in older items. We want to send a strong signal, both within the UK and internationally, that ivory is not desirable and that legal domestic trade in ivory should be stopped where it is contributing to poaching and trafficking. Closing the market for UK sales of ivory less than 70 years old will be an important way of doing this.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 07/12/2016 10:49:38 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

uin	56006
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2016 answer text <p>The National Flood Resilience Review did not examine individual utility assets, as responsibility for defending these from floods rests with each utility company.</p><p> </p><p>Instead, it asked the telecommunications and water sectors to assess their vulnerable sites and put in place measures to increase the resilience of their services where appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>Companies have delivered on this commitment, and are now in the process of making improvements to resilience, where feasible, ahead of Christmas 2016. This includes purchasing temporary flood defences, increasing redundancy or utilising alternative assets where temporary flood defences are not suitable and working with local emergency responders on broader local flood plans. Utilities companies are also working with government and regulators to ensure appropriate long term flood defence measures are put in place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 07/12/2016 10:53:42 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
