answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2015 answer text <p>There has been a long term downward trend in overall drug use over the last decade including among young people aged 11-15 and young adults aged 16-24. However, we continue to be concerned about the harms caused by drug misuse, including ecstasy and other Class A drugs, which is why they are illegal.</p><p>The UK’s approach on drugs remains clear: we must prevent drug use in our communities, help dependent individuals recover, while ensuring our drugs laws are enforced. We have recently refreshed our approach to reducing the demand for drugs which includes investing in a range of evidence-based programmes, which have a positive impact on young people and adults, giving them the confidence, resilience and risk management skills to resist drug use.</p><p>For example: • we have launched a new online resilience building resource, ‘Rise Above’, aimed at 11- to 16-year-olds, which provides tools to help develop skills to make positive choices for their health, including avoiding drug use;</p><p>• we have developed evidence-based online tools for educators and commissioners including the Alcohol and Drug Education and Prevention Information Service (ADEPIS) which provides practical advice and tools based on the best international evidence, including briefing sheets for teachers; and</p><p>• Public Health England has developed its role in supporting local areas: sharing evidence to support commissioning and the delivery of effective public health prevention activities; and launching toolkits to support local areas’ responses on specific issues around new psychoactive substances and other drug groups.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning grouped question UIN 8916 question first answered 08/09/2015 17:10:48 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will review the working of section 14 of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and publish a new Code of Conduct relating to rabbits to bring the living space and welfare requirements for rabbits more in line with those in effect in other EU countries.
tabling member constituency	Newport West
tabling member printed	Paul Flynn
uin	8721
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2015 answer text <p>The Animal Welfare Act 2006 provides a comprehensive legal framework protecting the welfare of kept rabbits. Given that owners and potential owners can obtain specific advice on rabbit keeping from rabbit welfare and other animal welfare organisations, there is no need to introduce a statutory code of practice for pet rabbits under section 14 of the Act.</p><p>There is no specific EU wide legislation for the protection of farmed rabbits. In England, they are protected by the Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007 and Defra’s code of recommendations for farmed rabbits. This code reflects the housing requirements as set out in the 2005 European Food Safety Authority’s scientific opinion on the health and welfare of farmed domestic rabbits.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 09/09/2015 10:08:29 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
