Details of pest and disease threats to hornbeam (Carpinus betulus<\/em>), along with other plant and tree species, are included on the UK plant health risk register, which can be accessed here: https://secure.fera.defra.gov.uk/phiw/riskRegister/<\/a>. Of the 1,040 entries on the risk register, ten of these have hornbeam specifically listed as a major host species, although hornbeam may be a minor host in relation to certain other pests and diseases listed (e.g. those which are polyphagous in nature on broadleaved trees). The risk register includes information about current mitigations in place and priorities for future actions.<\/p>

In 2017-18, income from the Immigration Skills Charge (ISC) contributed £75 million to the department\u2019s skills budget.<\/p>

While the income raised is not additional funding for skills, the ISC is helping to maintain the department\u2019s existing skills budget and existing level of investment in skills in England. As such, it is not possible to provide a breakdown of how the department\u2019s ISC allocation is spent.<\/p>

The ISC ensures that we can continue to invest in developing the skills that the country needs and also addresses skills gaps in the workforce. Similarly, it helps to maintain funding levels for each of the devolved administrations.<\/p>

Charities should be safe spaces for everyone; whether employees, volunteers or members of the public. Abuse of any kind is abhorrent and charity leaders must take a zero tolerance approach to misconduct and make sure proper protections are in place.<\/p>

<\/p>

DCMS has funded research into bullying behaviours in the charity sector as part of its Domestic Charity Safeguarding Programme. The report, launched on the 10 June, provides evidence on charity behaviours including case studies from whistleblowers. It must be the start of tangible change in those charities whose workplace culture does not currently reflect their values.<\/p>

<\/p>

Government\u2019s involvement in the research strengthens our commitment to charity safeguarding and safer charity cultures and leadership.

A major uplift was announced on 30 April 2019 to the financial support available to infected and affected beneficiaries registered with the infected blood support scheme in England.<\/p>

As announced at that time, the Government is committed to working with its counterparts in the devolved administrations to look at the issue of parity of support across the United Kingdom. I have written to my counterparts in all the other devolved nations, including the Permanent Secretary of Northern Ireland, inviting them to meet to discuss this issue at the earliest opportunity. A date for this meeting is currently being sought.<\/p>
