answer text <p>Lease renewals within the Close at Salisbury are a matter for the Chapter of Salisbury Cathedral and the Church Commissioners do not therefore have a policy on this matter. The Chapter at Salisbury Cathedral sought the Church Commissioners consent under the Cathedrals Measure 1999 for a proposal to be offered to qualifying tenants. The Church Commissioners acknowledge that the Dean and Chapter have undertaken all due diligence in respect of this proposal but were unable to approve it without a quantified assessment of its impact on the Cathedral’s mission. Since that date the Third Estates Commissioner has met with the Dean and representatives of Chapter in September and has written to the Chapter recognising the difficulties in making this assessment.</p><p>Following these discussions, we understand that the Chapter at Salisbury is intending to review the matter.</p><p /><p /> more like this

answer text <p>The outcome of our recent call for evidence on, ‘<em>Protecting consumers in the letting and managing agent market’,</em> sets out our intention to introduce measures which will enable leaseholders to veto a landlord’s choice of managing agent where justified, review their performance and change agents where agreed levels of service have not been achieved and maintained. It also outlines our plans to set up a Working Group to examine those fees and charges that go beyond leasehold service charges, but can impact both leaseholders and freeholders, and consider under what circumstances they are justified, and if they should be capped or banned.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government undertakes systematic screening of pest and disease risks which may be introduced through trade. We carry out risk-based inspections at our borders to prevent the entry of such pests. Our inspectors are highly effective in comparison to their peers: the UK consistently makes more interceptions of harmful organisms than any other EU member state (around 40% of the total for the EU). We work to stop pests and diseases before they arrive through international surveillance to spot new risks, take action at the border with stringent biosecurity checks on plant imports, and have robust contingency plans to tackle the pests and diseases that do make it through.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Asian Hornet poses a significant threat to native wildlife and is listed as a key species within the GB invasive non-native species strategy framework. As part of this, Defra devised a joint Asian Hornet contingency plan which is the only national scale contingency plan in the EU for an invasive species outside plant and animal health. Early detection is vitally important to the success of the plan. We have established an alert system which allows the public to report sightings which are then identified by the National Bee Unit (NBU). There is also a network of sentinel apiaries that carry out active surveillance for the species.</p><p> </p>
