answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2022 answer text <p>The Net Zero Strategy included a mix of quantified and unquantified policies. Depending on which accounting methodology would be adopted as the international standard at COP26, shortly after the Strategy’s publication, the quantified policies were projected to deliver either ~95% or, as under the now agreed standard, over 100% of the emissions reductions needed for the sixth carbon budget. It is also inherently difficult to quantify the emission reductions that a particular policy will generate over time.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 06/09/2022 14:13:19 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>The General Dental Council (GDC) is the independent regulator for dentists and dental care professionals in the United Kingdom. All dentists and dental care professionals are required to register with the GDC in order to practice in the UK. The GDC assesses the skills, knowledge and experience of healthcare professionals who have qualified outside of the UK to ensure standards of practice are met. As an independent body, the GDC is responsible for these arrangements.</p><p>The Department recently consulted on legislative changes to provide the GDC with greater flexibility to establish alternative routes to registration for international applicants. Officials are analysing the responses received and the Government’s response will be published later this year. Subject to the outcome of the consultation and the Parliamentary approval, we aim to introduce the legislative changes in autumn 2022. The GDC will determine how this flexibility can be applied, with up to 12 months to introduce changes to its international registration processes, including stakeholder consultation.</p> answering member constituency Halesowen and Rowley Regis answering member printed James Morris question first answered 05/09/2022 11:54:58 answering member 3992 label Biography information for James Morris

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>Information on how the policies and proposals will meet the carbon budgets was provided when the publication of the Net Zero Strategy was approved. It was the consideration of Mr Justice Holgate that the policy-by-policy quantification carried out by officials ought to have been before Ministers, rather than the same information aggregated at the sector level. Ministers considered that the combination of the analysis provided and the additional detail summarised by Departmental officials gave sufficient confidence that the policies and proposals would enable the carbon budgets to be met.
