answer text <p>The Government has asked train operators to reduce the cost of the industry to the taxpayer given the dire financial situation facing the railways; as well as ensuring staff are deployed where they are most needed by passengers. As a result, operators have considered potential reforms, including at stations and in July 2023 commenced consultations using the Ticketing and Settlement Agreement (TSA) process, which train operating companies must follow when proposing changes to the opening hours or closure of a ticket office. The proposals are industry led and this is a real opportunity to update and improve the way train operators deliver for customers. We expect train operators to continue to work collaboratively with the passenger bodies to refine their proposals</p> more like this

answer text <p>We have been running an extensive communications campaign since April 2022 to raise awareness of Pension Credit and encourage eligible pensioners to check their eligibility and apply. The main features of the campaign included advertising in regional and national newspapers, on national and local broadcast radio and across selected TV channels. We have also undertaken mini-bursts of communications activity to highlighted that successful Pension Credit claims mean qualification for Cost of Living Payments.</p><p> </p><p>There is a strong indication that it is having a positive effect. The number of Pension Credit applications is up by around 75% in the 12 months to May 2023 compared to the same period the year before.</p><p> </p><p>In July we launched an “Invitation to Claim” trial which involved contacting approximately 2,500 pensioner households identified as being likely to be entitled to Pension Credit and encouraging them to contact DWP and make a claim.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The UK plays a leading role in supporting global efforts to protect and restore forest landscapes, driving international action to tackle deforestation and ensure forests are sustainably managed. This effort is underpinned by a commitment of £1.5 billion to international forests between 2021-26.</p><p> </p><p>This package of work includes new due diligence legislation through the Environment Act 2021 to tackle illegal deforestation in UK supply chains. We ran a consultation to seek views on how we should implement Environment Act provisions, including which commodities we should regulate through the first round of secondary legislation, and published a summary of responses in June 2022, available at: <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fconsultations%2Ftackling-illegal-deforestation-in-uk-supply-chains&amp;data=05%7C01%7CSophie.Jones%40defra.gov.uk%7Cb63a460973054cf5601c08da4edaa349%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C0%7C0%7C637908998200357314%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=azoqMoyY27aJmFF%2FgpcRQ%2B%2Bi33ixmjw0Hd%2FUbe1qunA%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/tackling-illegal-deforestation-in-uk-supply-chains</a>.</p><p> </p><p>While a wide number of commodities have played and continue to play a role in driving global deforestation, we identified seven key commodities in our 2021-22 consultation that are responsible between them for driving the majority of recent and ongoing deforestation. These commodities include: cattle (beef and leather), cocoa, coffee, maize, rubber, palm oil, and soy. The consultation also sought evidence on other commodities driving deforestation.</p><p> </p><p>We will take into account consultation responses in decisions around which commodities to regulate and will publish the UK Government’s approach to secondary legislation in due course.</p>
