answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>Ciprofloxacin has been continuously monitored on the Water Framework Directive Watch List for 4 years. Its removal is being considered as the Directive specifically states that no Watch List substances should be continuously monitored for more than 4 years.</p><p>Ciprofloxacin is currently routinely monitored in England. Ciprofloxacin has been nominated and will be reviewed under the Environment Agency's chemical prioritisation and early warning system. This system allows the Environment Agency to consider the potential risks of emerging chemicals, including to surface waters (both freshwater and saline waters), groundwater, and soils. The system allows the Environment Agency to sift and to screen any chemical substance nominated using, where available, hazard data and environmental monitoring data to prioritise whether a substance may be a possible chemical of concern in England.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 27/10/2022 12:18:07 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>Based only on the heavily edited short video clips obtained by trespassing at the Grafton Pet Crematorium premises, it is not possible for the Animal and Plant Health Agency to make a full and proper assessment of activities, or whether there were any breaches of regulations that protect human and animal health at premises which handle Animal By-Products. It will only be possible to make such assessments when Animal &amp; Plant Health Agency is able to conduct an inspection and consider all the evidence at the premises.</p> answering member printed Lord Benyon question first answered 27/10/2022 10:54:25 answering member 1547 label Biography information for Lord Benyon
