We intend to raise the capital-related eligibility criterion, which currently requires a person to have less than £23,250 in non-housing assets, to £27,000 from April 2016. This mirrors the increased upper capital limit which will apply when a person\u2019s property is disregarded from April 2016.<\/p>

Local authorities will retain discretionary powers to offer deferred payments to people who do not meet the eligibility criteria but might otherwise benefit.<\/p>

Each Administration in the UK has responsibility for designating Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in its inshore waters. Offshore waters adjacent to England, Wales and Northern Ireland are the responsibility of the UK Government. The Scottish Government is responsible for the designation of MPAs for offshore waters adjacent to Scotland. Responsibility for reporting on any plans for future Marine Protected Areas within their areas rests with the appropriate administration in the UK.<\/p>
The UK Government aims to consult on a second tranche of Marine Conservation Zones (MCZs) early next year. This will include details of all the proposed sites and an Impact Assessment containing estimates of the cost implications for marine industries. A third tranche of MCZs is expected to follow. Natural England has recently consulted on proposals for two Special Protection Areas (SPAs) in English inshore waters in accordance with the EU Wildbirds Directive. Proposals for further SPAs in the waters for which the UK Government is responsible will be published in due course. The Joint Nature Conservation Committee is analysing evidence to determine whether there are any further potential Special Areas of Conservation for harbour porpoise in accordance with the criteria in the EU Habitats Directive, and will report in due course.<\/p>
All regulatory authorities are obliged to exercise their functions, including licensing and development consents, in a manner consistent with their legal obligations to protect MPAs in the relevant national legislation. The main regulatory authorities are the Department for Energy and Climate Change, with respect to significant energy projects and the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) for most other marine licencing consents. Inshore fisheries are managed by the relevant Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority and the MMO. Fisheries management for offshore sites will be achieved through EU Regulation under the Common Fisheries Policy.<\/p>
