All funds for capital measures must be spent by the end of March 2025.</li></ol><p>As both components of the fund are still being delivered, details of the grants distributed (including award amounts and locations of the beneficiaries) are yet to be announced, but will be in due course.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 22/04/2024 11:27:58 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/06/2022 answer text <p>The Secretary of State has received no recent representations, including from the Scottish Government, about widening the scope of the Communications Act 2003 to include alcohol advertising, its statutory regulation or making it a devolved matter. The Secretary of State has also had no recent discussions with Ofcom regarding alcohol advertising.</p><p>There are already very stringent regulations in place for the marketing of alcohol in traditional forms of media, including radio, TV, and cinema, and online, as well as in relation to sports promotion, through the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) codes of practice for advertising. If new evidence emerges that clearly highlights major problems with the existing codes of practice, then the ASA has a duty to revisit the codes and take appropriate action.</p><p>As part of the Online Advertising Programme the government is currently reviewing how online advertising is regulated in the UK, including legal but harmful content, such as alcohol advertising. The consultation closed on 8 June and will help us determine how to tackle such harms. We hope to publish a Government response in due course.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez grouped question UIN 21295 21296 21297 21298 21299 question first answered 28/06/2022 09:23:01 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/07/2021 answer text <p>We have made no such assessment. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) is the independent body responsible for providing evidence-based guidance for the NHS on whether new medicines represent a clinically and cost-effective use of resources. NICE is committed to publishing draft guidance on all new medicines at the time of licensing with final guidance published within three months of licensing wherever possible. The National Health Service in England is legally required to fund medicines recommended in a NICE appraisal, usually within three months of final guidance.</p><p>NICE has recommended a number of medicines for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis for some or all of the eligible patient population, including upadacitinib for treating severe rheumatoid arthritis in December 2020 and filgotinib for treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis in February 2021. NICE expects to publish further guidance on treatments for rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondylarthritis and psoriatic arthritis in the next few months.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill grouped question UIN 21292 question first answered 01/07/2021 15:10:49 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
