	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2018 answer text <p>The Central Equine Database (CED) was launched on 8 March 2018. At this early stage, data is not available to make a formal assessment of its effectiveness in reducing horse abandonment. Defra laid the Equine Identification (England) Regulations 2018 on 25 June. The regulations provide modern, effective enforcement tools to local authorities that, in combination with the CED and the powers under the Control of Horses Act 2015 and the Animal Welfare Act 2006, will help address the problem of horse abandonment.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, the regulations require that all equines in England are microchipped by 1 October 2020, except for recognised populations of semi-wild ponies. This will further help local authorities and the police to track down the owners of abandoned horses and make sure appropriate action is taken against them, and ensure their equines are given the care they deserve.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 12/07/2018 13:38:33 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

	tabling member printed	Gillian Keegan
	uin	162171
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government has no current plans to introduce permanent hydrogen refuelling stations (HRSs) in that area. The £23m Hydrogen for Transport Programme will continue to support the development of hydrogen refuelling infrastructure via a competitive bidding process. Siting of stations is one of a number of criteria, and it is for the market to lead on developing strong bids for specific locations. In March this year the Government announced the winners of £8.8 million of funding, which will see the construction of additional hydrogen refuelling stations as well as upgrades to existing refuelling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 17/07/2018 15:36:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
