answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2020 answer text <p>Centrally held court data does not include the amount of time spent remanded in custody, and therefore obtaining this information would result in a disproportionate cost to the department.</p><p>Prison receptions data has enabled an approximation of the data that has been requested. The attached tables provide information on the longest, median and seventy-fifth percentile length of time that adult women, adult men and young people spent remanded in custody up to the point that they were sentenced (Table 1); and also time spent remanded in custody pre-trial up to the point that they were admitted to prison between conviction and sentencing (for those who spent time on pre-trial remand) (Table 2). This data includes the first two quarterly periods for 2020 (January to June) – which tallies with the latest available published prison receptions data.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 21/12/2020 16:20:43 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer attachment 1 file name 20201216 - Copy of PQ 128641_final.xlsx title Table 1

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2020 answer text <p>A number of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are already banned or highly restricted. The UK is a Party to the Stockholm Convention, which has already agreed restrictions on the use of certain PFAS. There are also restrictions in place under the REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals) regulation.</p><p> </p><p>At the end of the transition period the UK will put in place its own domestic chemicals regulatory framework. Existing restrictions under REACH will be brought into UK law. Our commitments under the Stockholm Convention will continue to apply. <br> <br> Future UK decisions to control the environmental and human health impacts of substances will be taken under our independent regime and will be based on rigorous assessment of the scientific evidence, including looking at approaches taken by chemical regimes across the world. Ensuring the continued effective safe management of chemicals to protect human health and the environment and respond to emerging risks remains our priority.</p><p> </p><p>We are working to improve our understanding of the emissions and risks of PFAS in the UK, and how we manage these chemicals will be considered in our forthcoming Chemicals Strategy. The Food Standards Agency (FSA) also regularly reviews new PFAS and will be considering the upcoming review by the Committee on Toxicity of Chemicals in Food, Consumer Products and the Environment (COT) of the European Food Safety Authority's (EFSA) latest scientific opinion on PFAS in food.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 16/12/2020 15:25:49 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
