	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/11/2019 answer text <p>In taking the decision to grant development consent for the gas turbines at the Drax Power Station, my rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State considered the impacts of the proposed development against a range of receptors and all other relevant issues. The Secretary of State concluded that the potential benefits of the development outweighed any potential adverse impacts. Her conclusions are set out in the decision letter available on the Planning Inspectorate’s website at:</p><p><a href="https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/yorkshire-and-the-humber/drax-re-power/" target="_blank">https://infrastructure.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/yorkshire-and-the-humber/drax-re-power/</a></p><p> </p><p>The Planning Inspectorate’s Report to the Secretary of State on the application for development consent for the gas-fired turbines at Drax Power Station states that the total figure for greenhouse gas emissions over the operational lifetime of the project would be 287.568m tonnes (assuming the project is built out in full and operates with 100% loading factor).</p><p> </p><p>The Planning Inspectorate’s Report concluded that there was no evidence that granting development consent for the development would in itself lead to a breach of her statutory duties under the Climate Change Act 2008 or any other legislation. Similarly, in concluding that development consent should be granted, the Secretary of State considered that there was no evidence that doing so would lead to a breach of the United Kingdom’s international obligations.</p><p> </p><p>The Planning Inspectorate’s Report on the application for development consent is also available on the Planning Inspectorate’s website.</p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng grouped question UIN 2771 2772 question first answered 04/11/2019 13:41:50 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The Government published the Social Media Code of Practice in April 2019. This statutory guidance sets out actions that social media platforms should take to prevent bullying, insulting, intimidating and humiliating behaviours on their sites. The Code is also relevant to other sites hosting user-generated content and comments.</p><p> </p><p>While many social media companies will meet some of the standards set out in the Code of Practice, the Government has been clear that voluntary action to date has not gone far enough and there is not enough transparency about the effectiveness of different measures. In April we published the Online Harms White Paper, which set out our plans for world-leading legislation to make the UK the safest place in the world to be online. We intend to establish in law a new duty of care on companies towards their users, overseen by an independent regulator. The new regulatory framework will ensure that there is effective oversight of companies’ action to tackle harmful content online.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 21/10/2019 10:23:58 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Bill does not make provision to alter the process by which the courts and the Secretary of State determine whether a person should be extradited from the UK. Following any arrest under the power set out in the Bill, extraditions would take place under Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003.</p><p>The Home Office does not hold statistical data on the length of cases, and this is dependent on a range of factors including any appeals and the availability of court time. Extradition cases under Part 2 with territories that use the European Convention on Extradition, such as Switzerland for example, are routinely turned around in a matter of months.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 28/10/2019 16:33:17 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
