uin	133125
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2022 answer text The general licence INT/2022/1272278 (Wind Down Positions Involving VTB) was issued on 25 February to allow for an orderly wind down of contracts with the bank, which was designated on 24 February. The general licence permits only the wind down of existing activity for third parties and expires on 27 March 2022. The general licence has been granted to reduce disruption in the UK financial system, not to permit VTB to proactively exit positions. It ensures that VTB will not benefit from a situation where UK persons cannot close out their positions or wind down transactions involving the bank. answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 07/03/2022 18:29:32 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/02/2022 answer text <p>Fly-tipping is a menace – which is why we have been taking significant action to stamp it out.</p><p> </p><p>Our proposals on electronic waste tracking will replace outdated paper forms with a robust online system. Our proposed reforms to licencing for waste carriers and brokers will allow us to clamp down hard on rogue waste operations, and make it easier than ever to detect unlicensed operators. These build on enhanced enforcement powers in last year’s Environment Act, and on £350,000 of Defra grant funding for local council projects to tackle areas of persistent fly-tipping.</p><p>In 2016 we legislated to introduce a fixed penalty notice for fly-tipping of up to £400 – but, for more serious offences, prosecution allows for an unlimited fine and up to five years imprisonment. While sentencing is a matter for courts, we are working with the National Fly-Tipping Prevention Group to produce a guide on how councils and others can present robust prosecutions which should support tougher sentences. We intend to publish this in the spring.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 01/02/2022 13:03:30 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
