answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>Government data indicates that claims volumes remain at historically high levels. Over a similar period data from the Department for Transport shows accident rates have fallen by around 25%. This is clear evidence that the system is in need of further reform, which is why on 25 November 2015, in his Autumn Statement, the Chancellor announced new measures to reduce the cost and number of whiplash claims. The Government will consult on the detail of these reforms in due course and the consultation document will be accompanied by an impact assessment.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 12/05/2016 09:02:27 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

uin	34267
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2016 answer text <p>Duty-free, quota-free access to European Union (EU) markets is granted to Bangladesh on the basis of need in line with agreed EU regulations. These trade preferences have no expiry date, so an extension is not required, and there is no provision for the use of additional conditionality. Any reduction in Bangladesh's market access would result in immediate and long-term harm to the livelihoods of poor Bangladeshi workers.</p><p>The UK Government supports the approach reflected in the ‘Bangladesh Sustainability Compact’ between the Government of Bangladesh, the EU, the USA, Canada and the International Labour Organization, which commits Bangladesh to improvements in occupational health and safety and respect for labour rights. UK officials are working closely with counterparts in Bangladesh to co-ordinate action to improve safety and labour rights in the country’s garment sector and DFID is supporting a number of programmes in this area.</p> answering member constituency New Forest West answering member printed Mr Desmond Swayne question first answered 25/04/2016 14:23:37 answering member 55 label Biography information for Sir Desmond Swayne
