answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2022 answer text <p>The global cost of living is rising and this Government is committed to supporting households as much as possible during these difficult times. When setting the level of the licence fee earlier this year, the Government had to think very carefully about the impact that any increase would have on households.</p><p>Therefore, on 17 January, the Secretary of State announced that the licence fee will be frozen at £159 until April 2024, before rising with inflation until April 2028. This settlement aims to support all households at a time when they need that support the most.</p><p>The Government remains deeply disappointed with the BBC's decision to restrict the over 75 licence fee concession to only those in receipt of Pension Credit. We recognise the value of free TV licences for over-75s and believe they should be funded by the BBC. The BBC must look at how it uses its substantial licence fee income to support older people.</p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 05/09/2022 08:57:25 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/09/2021 answer text <p>Businesses that handle waste, including companies like Amazon, are obliged to follow the waste hierarchy which requires action to prevent waste as the priority option. Failure to meet the legal obligation to take all reasonable steps to apply this can lead to enforcement action. Waste is a devolved matter, and the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA), the regulator in Scotland, is in contact with Amazon about the stock destruction allegations in Scotland. The Environment Agency, as the responsible enforcement body in England, is working with SEPA on this, and has also written to Amazon about compliance with the waste hierarchy obligations in England.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 07/09/2021 16:26:10 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
