	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/02/2021 answer text <p>Event Duration Monitors (EDM) record the number of times there has been a discharge of storm sewage and for how long each discharge was for. The Water Companies send in an annual summary which gives the total number of discharges per year and the total duration per year for each site where it is a permit requirement. The 2020 data is not yet available as it is submitted at the end of February.</p><p> </p><p>Event Duration Monitors started being installed in 2016 and have been progressively installed across Combined Sewer Overflows, Sewage Pumping Stations and Sewage Treatment Works. Not all sites require EDM monitoring, this depends on the sensitivity of where the discharge is made.</p><p> </p><p>Direct storm sewage discharges to the River Derwent, Derbyshire (Source to confluence with River Trent)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Year</p></td><td><p>2018</p></td><td><p>2019</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of sites reporting EDM Data</p></td><td><p>26</p></td><td><p>45</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total number of storm sewage spills</p></td><td><p>983</p></td><td><p>1788</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Total duration (hours) of storm sewage spills</p></td><td><p>3845</p></td><td><p>12475</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The discharge from these water company assets (in this case Severn Trent Water Ltd) is only permitted to occur when there is elevated flow in the combined (sewage and surface water) sewerage network due to rainfall/snowmelt. The discharge is known as storm sewage and the impact on water quality is reduced due to the increased dilution both within the sewer and the receiving watercourse.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2021 the Storm Overflows Taskforce announced plans by the water companies to accelerate work to install monitoring devices on all storm overflows by 2023. The Environment Agency is working with all water companies to increase the transparency of EDM data by 2022. This will provide readily accessible data in a consistent format, which will give greater visibility and increase responsibility of water companies to go faster and further in reducing harm from storm overflow discharges.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 24/02/2021 17:58:25 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2016 answer text <p>Africa’s elephant population has seen the worst declines in 25 years, mainly due to poaching, with a reported decline of around 111,000 over the past decade. The UK’s proposed ban on trade in modern day, post-1947 ivory announced by the Secretary of State on 21 September will send a global message of the need to combat this threat to elephants and put pressure on other countries to act. The ban has not yet entered into force and we will consult on plans early next year. We will have to look at the impact of this change to current controls but it will put UK rules on ivory sales among the world’s toughest.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 01/11/2016 17:49:06 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
