We are in regular dialogue with companies, business organisations and other stakeholders on how best to support the UK manufacturing sector in a way that delivers value for money for the British taxpayer. Our modern Industrial Strategy will ensure the UK remains one of the most competitive locations in the world for manufacturing investment.<\/p>
We are investing over £600m in the High Value Manufacturing Catapult and up to £167m in our Made Smarter industrial digitalisation programme. We have increased the permanent level of the Annual Investment Allowance from £200,000 to £1 million for all qualifying investment in plant and machinery made from January 2019 to December 2020 to help stimulate business investment. This will help UK manufacturers develop, adopt and exploit new technologies, and invest in the skills crucial to future success in international markets.<\/p>
We are making unprecedented increases in R&D and are aiming for 2.4% of GDP to be spent on R&D by 2027 to make the UK the world\u2019s most innovative economy. We have made significant investment into scientific research and development in the manufacturing sector through Waves 1 and 2 of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund (ISCF). Some examples of this include: £246m under the Faraday Challenge that helps UK businesses to seize the opportunities presented by the transition to a low carbon economy; £188m for medicines manufacture to develop first-of-a-kind technologies; and £26m for the manufacturing of future materials for advanced manufacturing sectors.<\/p>
In the most recent Budget, we also announced up to £121m under the Manufacturing Made Smarter Challenge to support the transformation of manufacturing through digitally-enabled technologies, subject to business case approval, and industry co-investment.<\/p>
Finally, Government and industry have committed around £1 billion through the Advanced Propulsion Centre, to research, develop and commercialise the next generation of low carbon technologies through the period 2013-2023, keeping the UK at the cutting edge of low carbon automotive innovations.<\/p>

Defra takes the issue of the smuggling of dogs and puppies seriously. It is an abhorrent trade which causes suffering to the smuggled dogs and puts the health of pets and people in the UK at risk. We are working hard to tackle the problem, targeting both the supply and demand of illegally imported dogs. This approach includes international engagement, enforcement, public communications and tighter regulation.<\/p>
Defra is considering a number of options for improved enforcement as part of a long term strategy for pet travel. Stricter penalties, including the possibility of introducing Fixed Penalty Notices, are being considered. In addition, we are also seeking to extend the maximum sentence for animal cruelty up to 5 years.<\/p>

Delivering the deal negotiated with the EU remains the Government\u2019s top priority. The political declaration recognises the development of an independent UK trade policy beyond the economic partnership with the EU. Under the terms of the Withdrawal Agreement, the UK will be free to negotiate, sign and ratify new trade agreements during the time-limited implementation period, and to bring them into force from January 2021.<\/p>
<\/p>
We have consulted on our first four free trade agreements (FTAs), with the United States, Australia, New Zealand and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). We plan to publish the Government\u2019s response to these consultations before entering into any formal negotiations.<\/p>
<\/p>
In addition, we are building stronger relationships with large economies \u2013 such as China, India, and Brazil \u2013 through a series of Joint Trade Reviews (JTRs).<\/p>
<\/p>
While we are looking to forge new agreements, the Government is also seeking continuity for our existing EU trade agreements as we leave the European Union. We have made good progress, signing trade continuity agreements with Switzerland, Chile, the Eastern and Southern African (ESA) states, the Faroe Islands, Israel, and the Palestinian Authority.<\/p>"}

Where there is not enough demand for a bus route to be commercially viable, all local authorities have powers to subsidise bus services. The Department provides £43 million per year to local authorities to support this. As part of the 2018-19 local government finance settlement, the Government responded to a number of councils\u2019 concerns over rural services funding by increasing the Rural Services Delivery Grant to £81 million. The 2019-20 settlement increased the Grant to the same level. This recognises the extra costs of providing services in rural communities.<\/p>
