	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2023 answer text <p>Recent food inflation in the UK has been driven by a range of factors. Domestic agricultural commodity prices increased due to increases in international commodity prices and changes in exchange rates and in particular the strength of the dollar. Alongside this there was an increase in food manufacturing costs and particularly energy costs, which also contributed to food inflation. These factors are the main reasons for recent high food inflation, as shown by the fact that other countries in Europe have experienced similar levels of food inflation.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 20/10/2023 11:12:32 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/10/2023 answer text <p>In line with the situation in Ukraine, working closely with the Ukrainian Government, as well as our international counterparts, we keep the need for a possible extension of UK sanctuary, beyond March 2025, under consistent review.</p><p>The UK Government stands with Ukraine and firmly believe that Ukraine will be safe again. When it’s safe to do so, Ukraine will need the repatriation of its citizens to help recover and rebuild their economy and infrastructure. Our approach therefore has been to provide 36 months sanctuary under our Ukraine visas, which are temporary and do not lead to settlement. This 36 month period is longer than any other European scheme.</p><p>We are however also mindful that permission will start to expire, for the first arrivals under our Ukrainian schemes, from March 2025, and their need for certainty beyond that point to help them to plan ahead, for example if remaining in the UK, entering into rental agreements and living here independently. The scheme is actively under review across government.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick question first answered 20/10/2023 11:29:35 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

In addition, almost 70 million people and over 250 institutions have been provided with improved access to clean energy. At COP27 the UK committed to triple its adaptation climate finance from £500 million in 2019 to £1.5 billion in 2025. The UK also committed to helping climate vulnerable countries to better access finance through a new approach being pioneered by the UK co-led Taskforce on Access to Climate Finance.</p> answering member constituency Sutton Coldfield answering member printed Mr Andrew Mitchell question first answered 23/10/2023 14:49:49 answering member 1211 label Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell
