The 25 Year Environment Plan sets out our ambitions to improve water efficiency. Lowering water consumption helps to reduce the total volume of water taken from the environment, helping to address unsustainable abstraction. The Government is working with the water industry, Waterwise and other groups to investigate a variety of tools and techniques to deliver this. I will report to the House later this year on the steps we are taking to encourage water conservation.<\/p>
<\/p>
The aim of the water refill scheme is primarily to reduce plastic waste rather than to save water.<\/p>

The Government takes fraud very seriously and is determined to make it more difficult for fraudsters to operate.<\/p>
<\/p>
The independent financial services regulator \u2013 the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) \u2013 requires banks to maintain effective systems and controls to prevent the risk that they might be used to further financial crime. This includes controls to prevent fraud. Under the Money Laundering Regulations firms must carry out customer due diligence measures to identify customers and check that they are who they say they are. If the FCA found evidence that a regulated firm did not undertake appropriate due diligence checks, that firm would be in breach of the Money Laundering Regulations and the FCA could consider what regulatory tools might be appropriate under such circumstances.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government also supports the work that the Payment Systems Regulator (PSR) is driving forward, in conjunction with industry, consumer groups and other regulatory and Government bodies, to tackle Authorised Push Payment scams, in which individuals are tricked into sending money online. In April this year, the PSR established a Steering Group of financial institutions and consumer representatives to develop an industry code to help prevent these kinds of scams. In September, the Steering Group published the draft code for consultation and intends to finalise the code in early 2019.<\/p>
<\/p>
It is also important that victims of fraud are provided with adequate support, and that the public is equipped with the information they need to spot a scam and stand up to fraudsters. That\u2019s why the Government has invested in a new IT system for Action Fraud, which is the UK\u2019s national reporting point for fraud and cybercrime. This new system will deliver significant improvements, both for victims reporting fraud and cybercrimes, and for law enforcement in investigating these crimes.<\/p>
<\/p>
The banking industry has also taken important steps to prevent fraud, including through the Banking Protocol - a rapid response scheme through which branch staff can alert police and Trading Standards to suspected frauds taking place. The system is now operational in every police force area and in the first six months of this year prevented £14.6 million in fraud and led to 100 arrests.<\/p>"}

This Government is committed to building an economy that works for everyone, and the National Living Wage is part of our wider commitment to ensuring this, both in terms of fair pay and fair working conditions.<\/p>
<\/p>
We do not hold these particular statistics. Analysis from the Low Pay Commission (published in March 2018) shows that around 2.1 million workers are on the National Living Wage (NLW) and National Minimum Wage (NMW) rates, in England, which equates to 8.9% of all workers. In Coventry around 11,400 workers are on the minimum wage (equivalent to around 8.1% of all workers), and across the West Midlands 266,000 workers are on the minimum wage (equivalent to 11.5% of all workers in the region).<\/p>"}
