answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2019 answer text <p>We know that certain states routinely use hybrid warfare, disinformation, ‘bots’ and hacking as foreign policy tools. It’s not surprising that they should try to influence the UK to further their own agendas. There is no evidence of successful interference, but the UK is not complacent to this threat. We are actively monitoring to identify and understand disinformation campaigns, and are taking action to ensure our democracy remains secure.</p> answering member constituency Aylesbury answering member printed Mr David Lidington question first answered 07/03/2019 12:32:00 answering member 15 label Biography information for Sir David Lidington

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>In July last year, a new Homes England programme was launched to deliver the Community Housing Fund outside London. My Department has also funded a similar programme in London, which was launched in January and will be delivered by the Greater London Authority. Community groups and local authorities in all parts of England are now able to apply for capital and revenue funding to bring community-led housing schemes forward.</p><p>My Department has also made available £6 million to a consortium of the leading stakeholder groups within the community-led housing sector to expand and develop a network of professional technical advisors who will help guide community-based organisations through the process of instigating and developing local housebuilding projects. An initiative was therefore launched in February under the brand name Community Led Homes. I expect this initiative to be an important factor in helping realise the potential of the community-led housing sector and supporting the delivery of the Community Housing Fund.</p><p>Work is underway within Homes England and Greater London Authority to understand the potential demand for the Community Housing Fund over the next few years.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 14/03/2019 14:20:21 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government welcomes the publication of the United States - European Union Negotiations: Summary of Specific Negotiating Objectives, and the more recent publication of Specific Negotiating Objectives for the UK. These publications are of course important, but do not change the Government’s view that any future trade deal must work for UK consumers, farmers and businesses.</p><p>The Government has made it clear that we will not water down our food or animal welfare standards in pursuit of any trade deal. Existing food standards on issues such as chlorinated chicken will come across through the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. For hormone treated beef the UK has transposed EU Council Directive 96/22/EC into UK law, which prohibits the use of artificial growth hormones in both domestic production and imported products. This will continue when we leave the EU.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 14/03/2019 12:09:54 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
