question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the increasing cost of animal feed on meat prices.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Exeter
uin	HL6402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2023 answer text <p>Animal feed is one of a range of inputs that contribute to the price of meat and meat products. Input costs are dictated by the market and can fluctuate at different times of the year or in response to specific events, as we have seen over the last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. No single input cost, including on-farm feed costs, would be expected to dictate the price of a particular commodity.</p><p> </p><p>We continue to closely monitor agricultural markets including animal feed prices including through the UK Agriculture Market Monitoring Group (UKAMMG), which was set up by Defra and the Devolved Administrations to monitor the UK market situation across all key agricultural commodities. We have also recently increased our engagement with industry to supplement our analysis with real-time intelligence.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 21/03/2023 15:03:53 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of results of a recent YouGov survey which found that only 12 per cent of teachers feel empowered to teach diversity issues; and what steps they are taking to increase this number.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL6402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2022 answer text <p>The national curriculum is a framework setting out the content of what the department expects schools to cover in each subject and is just one element in the education of every child. There is time and space in the school day and in each week, term and year to go beyond these specifications. The national curriculum does not set out how curriculum subjects, or topics within the subjects, should be taught. The department believes teachers should be able to use their own knowledge and expertise to determine how they teach their pupils, and to make choices about what they teach.</p><p>The department is committed to an inclusive education system which recognises and embraces cultural diversity. As part of the broad and balanced curriculum, pupils should be taught about different societies, and how different groups have contributed to the development of Britain. Diversity issues are covered in several subjects within the curriculum, including but not limited to history, English, citizenship and religious studies. Furthermore, there is a model curriculum being developed for history, which will offer high quality support for knowledge-rich teaching on diversity in this subject.</p><p>In autumn 2021, the department launched the National Professional Qualifications (NPQs) to support teachers and leaders who want to develop their knowledge and skills in specialist areas of teaching practice. The Leading Behaviour and Culture NPQ supports teachers to set clear expectations and communicate shared values that improve classroom and school culture. It encourages teachers to create environments where all pupils and colleagues feel welcome, safe, and able to learn from their mistakes, empowering teachers to explore a range of topics, such as diversity, and support others to do the same.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether there has been any correlation identified between (1) an increase in COVID-19 cases, and (2) the mass demonstrations held in cities in England in June.
tabling member printed	Lord Blencathra
uin	HL6402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2020 answer text <p>Demonstrations in England are reported to have occurred in the first three weeks of June 2020. Some of these demonstrations appear to have been large, reportedly involving hundreds or thousands of people in different locations, including major cities. Public Health England has not performed a specific analysis to investigate the relationship between the demonstrations and the subsequent number of COVID-19 cases; such an analysis would not be possible, since there is no requirement for individuals to report attendance at a demonstration or protest and, therefore, the necessary data would not be available.</p><p>Since the start of June, the daily number of laboratory-confirmed cases in England has continued to decrease steadily and consistently, from 1,311 cases on 1 June to 386 cases on 28 June.</p> answering member printed Lord Bethell question first answered 20/07/2020 15:26:11 answering member 4708 label Biography information for Lord Bethell

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what guarantees they have given to the Food Standards Agency (FSA) that (1) the FSA will have the resources to audit the performance of local authority enforcements officers, and (2) local authorities will have the resources to adequately inspect private commercial third party assurance providers on food safety, as proposed in the FSA report, Regulating our Future.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Whitchurch
uin	HL6402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/03/2018 answer text <p>The United Kingdom Government has not given any guarantees regarding the resources of the Food Standards Agency (FSA) beyond the settlement for the current spending period. Within that settlement and for future budgets it is incumbent upon the FSA to decide how to allocate its resources to ensure that it has effective oversight of local authority performance.</p><p> </p><p>Under the FSA’s Regulating Our Future plans, local authorities will not be required to inspect private third party commercial assurance providers, instead the FSA will set the standards that all regulated private assurance providers will have to meet, not just third party assurance providers. The food industry will be required to demonstrate to the FSA that the assurance meets these standards and in addition the FSA will be putting robust arrangements in place to verify that the sources of assurance meet the standards on an ongoing basis.</p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy question first answered 29/03/2018 11:27:13 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many applications for the European Health Insurance Card are rejected each year due to fraudulent details being submitted.
tabling member printed	Baroness Ludford
uin	HL6402
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/04/2017 answer text <p>The unit cost of an European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) is approximately 72 pence. This amount is inclusive of labour and all infrastructure costs.</p><p> </p><p>Information on how many applications for EHICs are rejected due to fraudulent, incomplete or false details being submitted is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>The Department, on behalf of the United Kingdom Government, rather than the National Health Service reimburses other European Economic Area (EEA) countries and Switzerland for the cost of providing treatment to people we are responsible for under European Union law, based on pension and benefit eligibility, and irrespective of nationality. In the same way, other EEA countries and Switzerland reimburse the Department, on behalf of the UK Government, for the cost of the NHS providing treatment to people they are responsible for under EU law, irrespective of nationality and including UK nationals insured in another EEA country or Switzerland.</p><p> </p><p>Information on how many claims from hospitals in other EEA member states the Department has paid, and their value, where it knew the patient was ineligible for an EHIC is not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the complexities associated with the collection and aggregation of information on costs and treatment, claims for EEA medical costs are typically submitted by EEA member states (including the UK) up to three, and sometimes more, years in arrears. There is then a further, and often significant, time lag between the receipt of the claim and its payment due to the lengthy process of scrutinising and then accepting or rejecting a claim by another member state. Therefore, any figures for rejected claims may not represent a final, accurate picture for any 12-month period.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Lord O'Shaughnessy grouped question UIN HL6401 HL6403 HL6404 HL6405 HL6406 question first answered 06/04/2017 10:52:02 answering member 4545 label Biography information for Lord O'Shaughnessy
