answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>The best way to provide continuity and stability in our global trading relationships is to have a deal with the European Union so that the UK can remain covered by all existing trade agreements during the Implementation Period. After this we will seek to bring into force bilateral agreements that replicate the effects of existing agreements as far as possible.</p><p>Nevertheless, the Government is working to have bilateral agreements in place ready for when we need them, whether that is in the event of no deal, or after the proposed implementation period. The Government has signed trade continuity agreements with Chile, the Faroe Islands, the Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA) trade bloc, Switzerland, Israel, Palestinian Authority, Pacific states and CARIFORUM countries. We expect these to be in place by exit day, even in the event of a no deal. This list is kept up to date on Gov.uk (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/signed-uk-trade-agreements-transitioned-from-the-eu" target="_blank">LINK</a>) as we continue to sign trade continuity agreements. The Government has also initialled an agreement with EEA countries Iceland and Norway. This is expected to be signed shortly. Liechtenstein is covered under an additional agreement to the UK-Switzerland Trade Agreement.</p> answering member constituency Meon Valley answering member printed George Hollingbery question first answered 28/03/2019 09:56:39 answering member 4016 label Biography information for Sir George Hollingbery

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>We are aware there is a persistent minority who seek to spread misinformation about vaccinations. The Department for Health and Social Care is working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to explore actions to address this and a range of other online harms, including working with platforms. Collaboration with the Department for Education is underway to ensure pupils understand that vaccines protect against diseases which can cause serious long-term ill-health, including mental and/or physical disability, and death.</p><p> </p><p>Public Health England annual surveys show parents have high levels of confidence in the national childhood immunisation programme and trust the advice about vaccination that comes from the National Health Service and health care workers. In contrast, trust in social media is much lower. However, we are not complacent and continue to look for ways to improve vaccine coverage and promote the facts relating to the value of immunisation and vaccination.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 26/03/2019 17:16:31 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

The Food Standards Agency has also worked closely with industry on reducing Campylobacter contamination over a number of years.

Latest levels according to major retailers’ data show an average of 3.1% for October-December 2018.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 26/03/2019 17:21:27 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
