answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2024 answer text <p>Since November, due to Houthi attacks, 12 international shipping companies have been forced to suspend passage through the Red Sea, causing lengthy delays and disruption to global supply chains. This has included causing insurance premiums for shipping to increase ten-fold; although, this only contributes a small fraction of total costs passed onto the end-consumer. These attacks therefore present a risk of increased prices for consumer goods and energy.</p><p>Be assured that the Government is working closely with shipping operators to mitigate any potential impact on consumers, and the shipping and supply chain sectors are well practiced at putting contingencies in place to continue to meet their customer needs.</p><p>The Government continues to monitor the situation closely.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 16/01/2024 15:59:08 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan previous answer version 11340 answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

uin	8111
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2024 answer text <p>While the Post Office has the commercial freedom to deliver the branch network within the parameters Government sets, the Government fully appreciates the impact a Post Office branch closure can have on a community.</p><p>With the largest retail network in the country, there will inevitably be variations in the number of branches open at any one time and any closures are usually outside the control of Post Office. However, the network is not in decline and in fact, more post offices opened last year than closed, and the network is as large today as it has been for five years, with around 11,700 branches open – above the 11,500 target that we set the Post Office.</p><p>The Government protects the branch network by setting minimum access criteria to ensure that 99% of the UK population lives within three miles of a post office. The Government-set access criteria ensures that however the network changes, vital services remain within local reach for all citizens.</p> answering member constituency Thirsk and Malton answering member printed Kevin Hollinrake question first answered 11/01/2024 16:01:30 answering member 4474 label Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake

When it’s safe to do so, Ukraine will need the repatriation of its citizens to help recover and rebuild their economy and infrastructure. Our approach therefore has been to provide 36 months sanctuary under our Ukraine visas which are temporary and do not lead to settlement or indefinite leave to remain. <br></p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 12/12/2023 12:12:45 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
