answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>The UK is a long-standing supporter of the polio eradication efforts led by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative. These efforts have been incredibly successful, seeing a 99% reduction in cases of polio over the last 30 years.</p><p> </p><p>The Global Polio Eradication Initiative has recently published its new strategic plan for the next phase of eradication activities, until 2023. The strategy does not commit to eradicate Polio by a certain date, as we know that the virus is still circulating in the most difficult environments where it’s extremely hard to reach every last child, such as parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. There will be a Polio moment in November when international donors are expected to announce ongoing commitment to the global eradication efforts. The UK is currently considering the new strategic plan and will make announcements on Polio in November 2019.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 18/06/2019 14:51:47 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>All the evidence so far suggests this is an isolated case of classical Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). As this incident occurred in Aberdeenshire, the Scottish Government have led the response, with support from the Animal and Plant Health Agency. We have made clear Defra is ready to provide assistance as required.</p><p>The Scottish Government have commissioned an epidemiological investigation to determine how the animal became infected. Whilst the disease is not directly transmitted from animal to animal, the affected animal’s three feed cohorts and one offspring have been traced and isolated, and have been humanely culled and tested for BSE as a precaution in line with UK and EU requirements. All test results are negative.</p><p>Studies have concluded that the BSE epidemic is in its final stage but that occasional cases should be expected in the ‘tail end’. The last case in the UK before this one occurred in 2015.</p><p>Strict protection measures remain in place which have been effective in reducing cases to these very low levels. The measures include the ban on feeding animal protein to farmed animals, which prevents the spread of BSE to animals through feed; removing specified risk material (SRM) – the most risky parts of animals – at slaughter to protects consumers from risk from food; and surveillance to monitor the level of BSE over time and thereby check on the continued effectiveness of BSE controls.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 06/11/2018 11:48:56 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2018 answer text <p>We remain deeply concerned about the persecution of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners and others on the grounds of their religion or belief in China. The freedom to practice, change or share ones faith or belief without discrimination or violent opposition is a human right that all people should enjoy. We believe that societies which aim to guarantee freedom of religion or belief are more stable, prosperous and more resilient against violent extremism.</p><p> </p><p>We regularly raise these concerns with the Chinese Government. I raised the situation in Xinjiang, where amongst other things we have serious concerns about restrictions on freedom of religion or belief, during my visit to China in late July. The Foreign Secretary also raised our concerns about Xinjiang during his visit to China on 30 July.</p><p> </p><p>More broadly, we raised restrictions on freedom of religion or belief with the Chinese authorities at the UK/China Human Rights Dialogue which took place in Beijing in June 2017, and in our statement at the UN Human Rights Council on 27 June 2018.</p><p>​</p> answering member constituency Cities of London and Westminster answering member printed Mark Field question first answered 19/09/2018 13:18:06 answering member 1405 label Biography information for Mark Field

However, the Department does publish annual workplace pension statistics for eligible employees, which includes data on annual amounts saved.</p><p> </p><p>The latest data available showed the average annual amount saved per eligible saver (those eligible employees saving into a workplace pension) in the private sector, in 2016, was £4,098.</p><p> </p><p>Our <em>Automatic Enrolment Review 2017: Maintaining the Momentum</em> was published on Monday 18 December, setting a clear direction to build a more robust and inclusive savings culture and specifically in supporting younger generations with the opportunity to save for a more secure retirement. Since 2012, over 9 million people have been automatically enrolled into a workplace pension, although workers are free to opt-out within one month of being put into a workplace pension, and can cease saving at any time. By 2019/20 an estimated extra £20 billion a year will be saved into workplace pensions as a result of automatic enrolment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 19/12/2017 12:45:37 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
