	question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the findings of the review by Jonathan Laidlaw QC on Lloyd's Banking Group's compensation scheme for the victims of the HBOS Reading fraud, published by SME Alliance on 18 December 2018.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>Compensation offers have been made to all customers in scope of the compensation scheme for victims of the HBOS Reading fraud, with 90% of customers accepting their offer. However, as Jonathan Laidlaw’s review highlights - the scheme has not commanded public confidence. That is why I welcomed Lloyds’ commitment – in agreement with the FCA – to commission a post-completion review to quality-assure the methodology and process of the Griggs compensation scheme for victims of the HBOS Reading fraud. I am pleased to hear that Lloyds Banking Group have recently announced that this process will be led by former High Court judge, Sir Ross Cranston.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 09/05/2019 14:25:35 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government believes that carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS) has the potential to play an important role in meeting the UK’s climate targets. CCUS can add value to the economy and help tackle hard to decarbonise sectors.</p><p> </p><p>Our CCUS Action Plan is designed to progress CCUS in the UK, including enabling the UK’s first CCUS facility to be operational from the mid-2020s. CCUS is also likely to play an important role in achieving our Industrial Clusters Mission, creating the world’s first net-zero industrial cluster by 2040.</p><p> </p><p>In progressing CCUS, the UK has already established a robust regulatory framework for CCUS, with regulations applying to licensing, environmental inspection and CO<sub>2</sub> storage, operation and monitoring activities. This means that any CCUS project will need to comply with a rigorous health and safety assessment and require permits and approval from relevant environment agencies, the Health and Safety Executive and the Oil and Gas Authority.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 08/05/2019 15:00:23 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

This is to allow for the option of deploying the contraflow at short notice during times of cross-Channel disruption, caused by bad weather or industrial action, for example.</p><p> </p><p>Highways England are responsible for operational decisions regarding the strategic road network in England, which includes the M20 in Kent. Decisions regarding significant changes to this road network – such as the removal of the barrier or the use of lanes on the M20 carriageways – are made on their advice and by taking into consideration the safety and convenience of all road users.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 15/05/2019 12:44:20 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

The 12 working day deadline is based on two provisions relating to the application process and the publication of, and alterations to, the register before the election. The provisions are contained in section 13B of the Representation of the People Act 1983 and regulation 29 of the Representation of the People (England and Wales) Regulations 2001; and the equivalent provisions in the Representation of the People (Scotland) Regulations 2001 and Representation of the People (Northern Ireland) Regulations 2008 as applied by Schedule 001 of the European Parliamentary Elections (Franchise of Relevant Citizens of the Union) Regulations 2001. <br>Council Directive 93/109/EC requires all Member States to send the details of any EU citizens’ declarations to their Home State to ensure an EU citizen does not vote twice, both here and in another EU country.
