	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>Improving mobile connectivity across the UK is a priority for the Government. The legally binding licence obligations arising from the December 2014 agreement require each Mobile Network Operator to provide voice/SMS text coverage to at least 90% of the UK’s landmass by end-2017. This locked in investment of £5 billion and is delivering improved coverage across the UK. Ofcom's 2016 Connected Nations Report shows that 99% of UK premises now have indoor voice coverage and 96% have indoor 4G data coverage. Our recent reforms to mobile planning laws and proposed reforms of the Electronic Communications Code, will support further investment and improvements in connectivity across the UK and reduce not spots.</p><p> </p><p>A competitive market in the UK has also benefitted consumers with the UK having one of the lowest prices in Europe for mobile connectivity.</p> answering member constituency West Suffolk answering member printed Matt Hancock question first answered 14/02/2017 14:18:23 answering member 4070 label Biography information for Matt Hancock

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>Defra’s “Check, Clean, Dry” campaign promotes good biosecurity to help slow the spread of invasive non-native species and, in particular, prevent their introduction to uninfected waterbodies. It is widely promoted to, by and amongst water users including water companies, anglers and recreational boaters. Government agencies routinely follow its good practice. Our focus has been on limiting the spread, when <em>Dikerogammarus haemobaphes</em> was identified in Great Britain it was already widespread within the canal and river network; as such eradication is not considered feasible.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency has recently adopted a regulatory position that will reduce this risk and incentivise the water industry to develop methods for water transferred in this way to prevent the spread of these species. This is one of a number of invasive non-native species that can be spread through untreated water transferred from one region to another by water companies.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 14/02/2017 09:56:29 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
