In its 2019 manifesto, HM Government committed to introduce a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) for drinks containers to incentivise people to recycle more and to reduce littering of in-scope containers. HM Government has consulted twice on the introduction of a DRS. The most recent consultation in 2021 sought views on a range of topics to ensure effective delivery of a scheme. We are analysing responses to this consultation with a view to publishing a Government response in late 2022.<\/p>"}

On 29 July the Government set out further details of the Energy Bills Support Scheme (EBSS) and confirmed that further funding would be available to provide equivalent support of £400 for energy bills for the small percentage of domestic energy consumers not reached by EBSS. This will include those who do not have a domestic electricity meter or a direct relationship with an energy supplier including off grid homes.<\/p>"}

Special licences can be sought for the import of semen and other products for rare breed sheep, which are then considered on a case-by-case basis. We remain committed to the diversification of the domestic genetic portfolio in line with the relevant risk assessments in place to maintain our domestic sanitary and phytosanitary standards.<\/p>
Breeding projects in Great Britain over recent years have successfully strengthened domestic flock resistance to the fatal ruminant disease known as scrapie. Introducing genetically susceptible rare breeds into the domestic flock will compromise the excellent work achieved to promote our flock resistance.<\/p>
There is currently only one breed of sheep in Iceland which, unfortunately, does not possess the gene for resistance to scrapie. We recognise that importers are unable to meet the scrapie requirements for our import certificate.<\/p>"}

Our statutory UK Marine Strategy sets out a vision for UK waters to achieve clean, safe, healthy biologically diverse and productive seas, which are used sustainably. The Strategy provides a legal framework, agreed with the devolved administrations, for assessing and monitoring the status of our seas and to put in place the measures needed to achieve Good Environmental Status (GES). The Strategy covers marine biodiversity, non-indigenous species, commercial fishing, nutrient pollution, contaminants, underwater noise and marine litter. To protect UK seas effectively, we need to work with other countries. The UK plays a leading role in OSPAR (the regional sea convention for the North-East Atlantic). We coordinate our efforts with our neighbours to ensure the best protection for our seas whilst maintaining their sustainable use.<\/p>
Domestically, we have designated a comprehensive network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) and are focused on making sure they are properly protected. In English waters there are 178 sites protecting 40% of our seas. 98 sites in English inshore waters now have management measures in place to protect sensitive features from bottom towed fishing gears. All existing MPAs in English offshore waters will be protected from fishing activities which could prevent them achieving their conservation objectives through a three-year byelaw programme being undertaken by the Marine Management Organisation.<\/p>
HM Government has also recently finished consulting on five candidate Highly Protected Marine Areas (HPMAs).<\/p>"}

The Cost of Living Payment is rightly being targeted at low income households who are in receipt of a means-tested income replacement benefit. Non-means tested benefits are not qualifying benefits for the Cost of Living Payment in their own right because people receiving these benefits may have other financial resources available to them. We have no plans to change the current eligibility criteria.<\/p>
<\/p>
Cost of Living Payment, 6 million disabled people who receive an eligible non-means tested disability benefit, including Personal Independence Payments, have received a one-off Disability Cost of Living Payment of £150.<\/p>
<\/em><\/p>These payments are part of the Government\u2019s £15bn package of support and sit alongside<\/p>
<\/p>
- a £300 Pensioner Cost of Living Payment to anyone entitled to a Winter Fuel Payment<\/li>
- the extension of the Household Support Fund with an additional £421 million to support households with the cost of essentials<\/li>
- a £150 Council Tax rebate sent earlier this year to those in Council Tax bands A-D in England, creating a total of at least £1,200 in direct support for millions<\/li>
- The government has announced unprecedented support within its Growth Plan to protect households and businesses from high energy prices. The Energy Price Guarantee and the Energy Bill Relief Scheme are supporting millions of households and businesses with rising energy costs, and the Chancellor made clear they will continue to do so from now until April next year.<\/li><\/ul>
