answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2021 answer text <p>The government is committed to understanding and addressing the ethnic disparities in maternal mortality rates. Maternal deaths are fortunately rare and overall women’s experiences of maternity care are positive, but it remains important we encourage every expectant mother to engage with NHS maternity services so they get the support they are entitled to.</p><p>I have been supporting the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) in this area since last summer. This includes co-hosting a roundtable discussion on maternal mortality rates for ethnic minority women in September 2020, which identified the need for more intelligent use of data to target action.</p><p>Following this, officials in the Race Disparity Unit have been working with DHSC colleagues to understand how data can be disaggregated and flow more easily among NHS agencies, and research bodies. They have also been supporting DHSC officials on initiatives such as the new £7.6m Health and Wellbeing Fund that will support 19 projects to reduce health inequalities among new mothers and babies.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Kemi Badenoch question first answered 06/07/2021 18:28:36 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

question text	To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether it is his policy to implement the proposal to legally require Landfill Operators to provide 10 per cent match funding to release Landfill Communities Fund monies and to remove the Contributing Third Party.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2016 answer text <p>The Landfill Communities Fund (LCF) is a tax credit scheme into which landfill operators contribute voluntarily. Since its introduction in 1996, the LCF has contributed over £1.4bn to community projects in areas affected by a local landfill site. However, as the LCF is a tax credit scheme, it reduces the government’s tax revenues. We therefore have an ongoing responsibility to seek value for money for the taxpayer.</p><br /><p>Autumn Statement 2015 announced changes to the Landfill Communities Fund. These changes were set out following consultation by HMRC on reforms to the fund. A summary of consultation responses, including those raising concerns about the Contributory Third Party (CTP) payment, can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reform-of-the-landfill-communities-fund" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/reform-of-the-landfill-communities-fund</a></p><br /><p>The government has received representations on the LCF reforms. We are taking views into consideration and our priority is to ensure that the Fund operates effectively and encourages money to be spent in the communities that need it.</p><br /><p>Information on the number of landfill operators contributing to the LCF is not held in the form requested. However, ENTRUST, the fund regulator, has published data on contributions to environmental bodies.
