The Secretary of State has received a number of requests for him to call in the planning applications for the development of Rivenhall Integrated Waste Facility. As is normal practice, he will consider the planning issues raised by the applications in the light of call in policy if Essex County Council resolves to approve them. The comments you make will be taken into a consideration. In the meantime, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on the proposals.

This Government is committed to fully involving Gibraltar as we leave the EU together.

The school food standards severely restrict foods high in fat, salt and sugar. The standards apply to the overall planned provision of food and drink in schools, including during school lunches and food provided by the school at other times.<\/p>
Governing boards are legally responsible for meeting the school food standards and it is for schools and caterers to decide which foods to serve across the school week. Desserts are permitted when served during the school lunch service and the types of products mentioned in this question are only permitted by the standards under restricted circumstances: for example, confectionery is prohibited, and only healthy snacks, such as fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts can be provided for food other than lunch.<\/p>
<\/p>
As part of our work on the Childhood Obesity Plan, we have committed to reducing sugar in the school food standards and officials are working with Public Health England to achieve this. Further details will be available shortly.<\/p>
