In a no deal scenario, the EU’s adopted Regulation on connectivity gives UK airlines the right to fly to and from the EU from the day of exit until March 2020, allowing time to progress longer-term arrangements. The UK has stated we will reciprocate these rights for EU airlines. Both sides are committed to maintaining connectivity.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Epsom and Ewell answering member printed Chris Grayling question first answered 18/07/2019 15:48:19 answering member 1413 label Biography information for Chris Grayling

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health, if he will postpone the start date for the introduction of standardised packaging on tobacco products in order to undertake an assessment of the implications of the post-implementation review of a similar measure in Australia on his policies in this area.

uin	32266
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2016 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to postpone the introduction of standardised packaging of tobacco products. The Standardised Packaging of Tobacco Products Regulations 2015 come into force on 20 May 2016. Standardised packaging is an important public health measure and any delay in implementing the policy would also delay the health benefits from accruing. The Government continues to consider relevant information and evidence on standardised packaging, including the Post-Implementation Review of Tobacco Plain Packaging published by the Australian Government last month.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 11/04/2016 08:52:56 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

CfD allocation rounds will then determine which projects are successful and receive CfD contracts and at what level of support. It is not possible to say in advance which projects will receive support and at what level.</p><p>Offshore wind projects, classified as ‘less established' technologies, are able to receive support in this Delivery Plan period (2014/15-2018/19) at the administrative strike prices published on 4 December 2013, unless there is insufficient budget in a CfD allocation round to satisfy all bids then an auction (competitive allocation) will apply. Those technologies would then have to compete against each other on price whereby each project is paid the clearing price for its delivery year within the auction, capped at its administrative strike price.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Gregory Barker question first answered 18/06/2014 13:05:45 answering member 1389 label Biography information for Lord Barker of Battle
