Rigorous statistical analysis, which adjusts for differences related to the risk of TB in cattle, has been carried out to measure any association between badger culling and cattle TB incidence in comparison to areas where badger culling has not taken place. This analysis covers data from the first two years of culling in Areas 1 and 2 (Gloucestershire and Somerset). It is available at the following link: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ece3.3254<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

An updated statistical analysis of this data has been submitted to a peer-review journal.<\/p>

New employer designed apprenticeship standards are at the centre of the Government\u2019s drive to ensure all apprenticeships are of the highest quality. There are now 20 new high quality standards available in the agriculture, environmental and animal care sector, plus a further 15 in development. Available standards include crop technician and land based service engineer.<\/p>

<\/p>

A full list of standards is published on the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education\u2019s website:<\/p>

https://www.instituteforapprenticeships.org/apprenticeship-standards/<\/a> .<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department for Education (DfE) is responsible for apprenticeships policy in England. Defra works closely with DfE on how the apprenticeship system works for the agri-food sector.<\/p>

<\/p>

Defra also seeks to act as a bridge between industry and Government to support the sector in making the most of the Government\u2019s apprenticeships reforms. The key mechanism for this activity is the Food and Drink Sector Council, which has identified skills as a key priority. Options to support and improve engagement with agri-food apprenticeships, as well as wider skills related issues, are being developed as part of the work of the Workforce and Skills Group of the Council.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1562", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Scarborough and Whitby"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Robert Goodwill"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-16T14:46:55.26Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-05-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Agriculture: Apprentices"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to support apprenticeship schemes in the agri-food sector.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4131", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Jim Shannon"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Strangford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Jim Shannon"} ], "uin" : "252634"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125707", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1125707/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Ministers meet monthly with their devolved administration counterparts at the Inter Ministerial Group for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. Discussions include progress in our negotiations with the EU, domestic preparations ahead of our departure from the EU and how the four administrations can work together constructively. The most recent meeting was on 29 April in Cardiff. The Permanent Secretary at the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs attended the meeting in the current absence of a Northern Ireland Executive.<\/p>

The Government does not have plans for a scrappage scheme to encourage replacement of older farm machinery.<\/p>

<\/p>

However, the Countryside Productivity Scheme has recently offered grant funding for projects in England which improve productivity in the farming and forestry sectors. This has included offers of grants for machinery and technology that would result in more efficient use of energy and resources.<\/p>

On 26 February, two Northern Ireland fishing vessels were detained in Dundalk Bay. The skippers of the boats appeared in court on 1 March. They have since been released without conviction and the boats returned.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Voisinage Arrangement between the UK and Ireland provides for reciprocal access to fish in the 0-6nm zone. However, the arrangement has been suspended by Ireland following a decision by the Irish Supreme Court in 2016. As a result, fishing by Northern Ireland vessels within Ireland\u2019s 0-6nm zone is currently not permitted. The UK has continued to respect the arrangement but cannot allow this unequal treatment to continue indefinitely.<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK Government has made numerous representations to the Irish Government since 2016 to push for the reinstatement of the arrangement as soon as possible. Following the seizure of the two vessels, the Irish Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, committed on 1 March to changing the law to restore the status quo to what it was before 2016, and has indicated that he is confident the legislation can be passed quickly. Government officials are seeking confirmation from the Irish Government of the timetable for this.<\/p>

In March, the department published an early years\u2019 workforce strategy, the Early Years Workforce Strategy, which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-workforce-strategy<\/a>. This set out a number of measures to support the sector to recruit, retain and develop staff. These measures are currently being implemented. To support recruitment, for example, we consulted with the sector and as a result broadened out the English and maths qualification requirements for level 3 staff to include other suitable level 2 qualifications, including functional skills.<\/p>

All Border Force officers at passport control are trained in forgery detection. When a Border Force officer is not convinced that a document is genuine and in the possession of the rightful holder they will take the appropriate action. Between 2010 and September 2016 more than 116,000 people were refused entry to the UK, including those refused for travelling on invalid documentation.<\/p>
