answer text <p>Intolerance and bullying has no place in our society and no one should live in fear of bullying on the basis of their sexuality.</p><p> </p><p>As part of our commitments in the government’s Hate Crime Action Plan and Integrated Communities Action Plan, the department is taking forward a number of measures to help the sector prevent and tackle prejudice and bullying, and promote tolerance. This includes continuing to support schools in their requirement to promote our shared values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance for those with different faiths and beliefs.</p><p> </p><p>All schools must have a behaviour policy that includes measures to prevent bullying, and all schools must comply with the requirements of the Equality Act. The department recently published the Respectful Schools Communities toolkit; a self-review and signposting tool to support schools to develop a whole-school approach which promotes respect and discipline. In addition to this, the department is providing over £2.8 million of funding, between September 2016 and March 2020, to 4 anti-bullying organisations to support schools to tackle bullying. This includes projects targeting bullying of particular groups, such as those who are victims of hate related bullying, along with a project to report bullying online.</p>

answer text <p>The Government’s 25 Year Environment Plan commits us to assess the demand and potential for conservation covenants to secure long-term benefits for nature and to work with stakeholders to review and take forward the Law Commission proposals for a statutory scheme in England.</p><p> </p><p>The Law Commission had reviewed the evidence for their use and effectiveness in other countries and undertook a consultation exercise in 2013 to determine if they could be effective and should be introduced here. It concluded that conservation covenants had the potential to deliver lasting conservation benefits for nature and wildlife, as well as other outcomes.

answer text <p>We reached a fair financial settlement with the EU, honouring commitments we made during our period of membership, as set out in the draft Withdrawal Agreement in November 2018. As the Prime Minister said in her statement to Parliament, we do not want to see Article 50 extended. By far the best way forward is for Parliament to agree to leave with a deal when we bring the Meaningful Vote back. If Article 50 were to be extended, any adjustments to the financial settlement would be subject to future negotiations.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Our priority is to be in a position to begin formal negotiations with key partners after we leave the EU, and to then make progress towards substantive agreements, so long as such agreements work for the whole of the UK. We have consulted on our first four potential free trade agreements (FTAs), with Australia, New Zealand, the United States and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). We will publish the Government’s response to these consultations before any negotiations begin.</p><p> </p><p>Trade agreements vary in shape, scope and form, and there is no “average” timeframe. For example, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between the EU and Canada took seven years to negotiate, the China-Switzerland FTA took two, but the USA-Jordan FTA negotiations only four months. The Government is clear that its objective is to negotiate the best possible free trade agreements for the whole of the UK, in the interests of business and consumers. Necessarily, this will take different amounts of time to conclude with different partners.</p><p> </p><p>While we are looking to forge new agreements, the Government is also seeking continuity for our existing EU trade agreements as we leave the European Union. We have made good progress, signing trade continuity agreements with Switzerland, Chile, the Eastern and Southern African (ESA) states, the Faroe Islands, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.</p><p>We will post details of signed agreements on the Gov.uk website.</p>

answer text <p>As the UK exits the EU, we are seeking to replicate the effects of the EU’s Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) with the Southern African Customs Union and Mozambique (SACU+M), which includes Eswatini (Swaziland), as soon as possible. EPAs aim to promote increased trade and investment, supporting sustainable growth and poverty reduction.</p><p> </p><p>As the Prime Minister set out during her visit to Africa last Summer, the Government is committed to seeing a step change in our relationship with Africa in order to drive forward trade and investment.</p><p> </p><p>The Prime Minister also announced that the UK will launch a new Prosperity Fund programme of up to £8 million that will support implementation of the transitioned EPA.</p><p> </p><p>The funding will aim to increase trade with and within Southern Africa by helping to remove barriers to trade, and in doing so expand import and export opportunities for UK and African businesses. Officials are consulting with the Government of the Kingdom of Eswatini and other countries in the region about the design of the programme.</p>
