The sources are publicly available through the website of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).</p><p> </p><p>The number of vets who may be required after the UK leaves the EU varies according to the range of scenarios.</p><p> </p><p>We anticipate some extra demand would be created in the unlikely event that the UK does not reach a deal with the EU relating to the certification of animals and animal products for export to the EU. RCVS has announced its agreement to a proposal from Defra for the creation of a new type of a supporting officer role in aid of the export certification work. This would potentially reduce the additional demands on vets.</p><p> </p><p>Defra continues to work with other Government Departments and veterinary stakeholders on further initiatives to ensure sufficient veterinary capacity.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government’s Rail Freight Strategy recognises the environmental benefits of shifting freight from road to rail, and the Strategy sets out a vision for how rail can increase its share of the freight market. The Government supports modal shift through funding improvements to the rail network for freight, investing £235m in Control Period 5 (2014-2019). The Statement of Funds Available for Control Period 6 (2019-2024) includes funding for continued infrastructure investment for both passenger and freight operators.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has set out an ambition to decarbonise the railway by phasing out all diesel-only trains by 2040, and the rail industry is due to respond to this challenge shortly. In support of the Government’s ambition, the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) announced in October 2018 that it is making funding available to facilitate research and innovation.</p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>We have made clear in the recent political agreement (published on 14 November) that the UK remains committed to continued cooperation with the EU on education. In the attached government white paper, ‘The future relationship between the United Kingdom and the European Union[1]’, we also set out our desire to facilitate mobility for students and young people, enabling them to continue to benefit from world leading universities and the cultural experiences the UK and EU Member States – including France – have to offer.</p><p>With the caveat that “nothing is agreed until everything is agreed”, in principle the UK will continue to benefit from all EU programmes, including Erasmus+, until the end of the current budget plan, and applications should continue as normal. The UK is also open to exploring participation in the successor scheme to the current Erasmus+ Programme. We welcome the attached proposals for the 2021-2027 successor scheme to Erasmus+ (published on 30 May), and are considering these carefully; we will continue to participate in discussions on these proposals while we remain in the EU. Ultimately, UK participation in the successor programme is a matter for negotiations on our future relationship with the EU.</p><p>[1] The white paper can be found via this link: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/725288/The_future_relationship_between_the_United_Kingdom_and_the_European_Union.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/725288/The_future_relationship_between_the_United_Kingdom_and_the_European_Union.pdf</a>.</p>

During this implementation period UK citizens will be able to open businesses in the Netherlands as they do now. As stated in the Prime Minister’s speech before the House of Commons on 15 November, the intention is for the UK and EU to secure a deal to ensure a close ongoing relationship on services and investment after the implementation period. The Government has published advice on a “no deal” scenario through a number of technical notices, which citizens may wish to refer to.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>According to the Health Survey for England, in 2015 22% of children (23% of boys and 20% of girls) aged 5-15 met the physical activity guidelines of being at least moderately active for at least 60 minutes every day. This is higher than in 2012, when 21% of boys and 16% of girls met the guidelines. However this excludes school-based activities and active travel. Further information can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-physical-activity-guidelines" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-physical-activity-guidelines</a>.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the government’s Sporting Future strategy, Sport England’s remit was extended to cover children from age 5+. Government departments including DCMS, DfE and DHSC have worked with Sport England to develop the new Active Lives: Children and Young People survey. This survey launched in schools in September 2017 and will measure in much more detail how children and young people engage in sport and physical activity, and how many are meeting the Chief Medical Officer's guidelines, both in and out of school. The first set of data will be available on 6 December.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Government values and recognises the important role that the Post Office plays in communities across the UK. This is why we committed in our 2017 Manifesto to safeguarding the Post Office network and protect existing rural services.</p><p>In 2016 the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy commissioned independent research to understand and quantify the value that people and businesses place on the Post Office network. The study (The Social Value of the Post Office Network by YouGov and London Economics) found the estimated social value of the Post Office network to be over £4 billion. The importance of branches to local communities is further supported by Association of Convenience Stores research (The Local Shop Report 2018) that found that the Post Office is recognised as having the ‘most positive impact on a local area’ and is the ‘third most wanted service’.</p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The Government considered the evidence on gambling advertising as part of the Review of Gaming Machines and Social Responsibility Measures.</p><p> </p><p>The review found that although the number of gambling adverts on TV rose from 2007, reported rates of problem gambling remained below 1% during this period. The most recent survey estimated the number of adult problem gamblers in Great Britain as approximately 340,000, 0.7% of the adult population. A major research survey concluded that the impact of advertising on problem gambling prevalence is likely to be relatively small, but identified areas for further research.</p><p> </p><p>There are already strict rules on the tone, content and placement of gambling adverts, and while the Review did not conclude there was a case for a ban, it set out measures to strengthen protections further. Further research has been commissioned by GambleAware into the impact of gambling advertising on children, young people and those vulnerable to harm. This is due to be completed next year. We will keep these issues under review including examining new evidence as it emerges.</p><p> </p>
