It is not possible to give precise total values for parcels movements from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. Parcel volumes are not consistent year-on-year but based on estimates and commercial information provided by the parcel industry, the Government understands that around 5 per cent of parcels are sent from businesses to other businesses, with 90 per cent moving from businesses to consumers and 5 per cent from individuals to other individuals.<\/p>

The Government recognises the challenges facing households due to elevated costs of living, so has taken action to protect struggling households: support provided from October 2022-June 2023 has paid for almost half of the typical family\u2019s energy bill through the Energy Price Guarantee (EPG) and Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS).\u202fThis is in addition to new cost of living payments, benefits uprating, and the extension of the Household Support Fund to help the most vulnerable with the cost of essentials in 2023-2024.<\/p>

Taken together, support to households to help with higher bills is worth £94 billion, or £3,300 per household on average across this year and last \u2013 one of the largest household support packages in Europe.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4726", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Penn"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Penn"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-25T13:06:01.6Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Cost of Living: Government Assistance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, to support vulnerable individuals and families facing financial strain due to the increased prices of essential items.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1796", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Taylor of Warwick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Taylor of Warwick"} ], "uin" : "HL9579"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654985", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654985/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

If a product is referred to the Veterinary Products Committee (VPC) for advice, the VPC will be provided with a briefing document. Relevant scientific assessors will attend the VPC meeting and respond to questions by VPC members as directed by the VPC Chair.<\/p>

<\/p>

Legislation and published guidance set out the information (including data, scientific studies and risk assessments) that applicants must provide for a new marketing authorisation or change to an existing marketing authorisation. Each part of the dossier is supplemented by a critical overall summary prepared by an appropriate scientific expert commissioned by the applicant. The VMD assess the data package against the same guidance. Every year a sample of VMD assessment reports is reviewed by the VPC to score the VMD\u2019s assessment of the application against criteria in the areas of: quality, efficacy and target species safety, safety to the user and consumers, environmental safety and overall benefit risk.<\/p>

<\/p>

If a non-prescription category is already established, another product will normally be allowed to have the same distribution category provided it contains the same active substance, is the same pharmaceutical presentation, and for the same species. Should information become available at any stage post-authorisation that potentially impacts the benefit-risk balance, the VMD can review the marketing authorisation(s) and require changes and/or suspend a product (or group of products) to protect animal health, public health and the environment.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1547", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Benyon"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Benyon"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-07-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-07-24T15:33:07.27Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "13"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Veterinary Services: Drugs"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Benyon on 13 July (HL9237), what is the process for members of the Veterinary Products Committee to question the Veterinary Medicines Directorate\u2019s assessors following receipt of the assessment report; what criteria the Veterinary Medicines Directorate uses to determine whether any potential increased risks to (1) animal health, (2) public health, or (3) the environment, can be suitability mitigated; and what criteria the Veterinary Medicines Directorate uses to assess the potential benefits of allowing over-the-counter sale, especially when the non-prescription category is already established.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4171", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Black of Brentwood"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Black of Brentwood"} ], "uin" : "HL9487"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654543", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654543/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The scientific review committee for pharmaceutical products is chaired by the Head of Pharmaceuticals. Membership includes all pharmaceutical assessors (quality, safety and efficacy), representatives from Regulatory Affairs, Pharmacovigilance, and other government bodies including the UK Health Security Agency, Health and Safety Executive, Food Standards Agency, Environment Agency, and the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs of Northern Ireland. Other agencies may also be invited on an ad hoc basis.<\/p>

<\/p>

The documents for the formal review meeting include the assessment report, list of questions to be addressed by the applicant and an executive summary which highlights the main issues and the benefit-risk conclusion.<\/p>

<\/p>

The scientific review committee provides a formal peer -review forum, where each application is summarised, and key issues raised and discussed. The operation of the committee is described in internal operating procedures. Formal minutes are produced. The committee output is to endorse the list of questions for the applicant, decide whether these are likely to be resolvable, agree the benefit-risk conclusion and decide whether or not further scientific advice from the Veterinary Products Committee should be sought.<\/p>

One of the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency\u2019s priorities, as outlined in its strategic plan, is to improve motorcyclist and instructor training, which includes compulsory basic training (CBT).<\/p>

<\/p>

The newly formed motorcycle strategic focus group is working closely with industry stakeholders to consider how to improve the safety of those involved in the rider gig economy, coupled with changes to motorcycle training and testing to ensure riders have the skills and knowledge they need for a lifetime of safe and sustainable journeys.<\/p>

<\/p>

Any changes to the training and licencing regime, including CBT, will form part of a wider package of reforms when parliamentary time allows.<\/p>
