tabling member constituency	St Ives
tabling member printed	Derek Thomas
uin	22422
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2020 answer text <p>A Natural England commissioned report of March 2011 examined the impact that Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) status has on land values in England. The report concluded that impacts are variable, with valuers reporting positive, negligible and negative impacts depending on the context and land use of individual cases. A copy of the report has been placed in the Library.</p><p> </p><p>Notification of SSSIs falls to Natural England. It must notify all owners and occupiers where it considers an area to be of special interest. This will usually follow informal discussion with the owners and occupiers of the land, including discussion about management.</p><p> </p><p>Consensus between regulators, land managers, users and other stakeholders is generally required in order to deliver positive conservation outcomes for SSSIs. Agri-environment schemes like Countryside Stewardship provide the principal funding mechanism to help land managers meet the cost of positive management to restore SSSIs to, or maintain them in, favourable condition.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 04/03/2020 12:15:35 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2020 answer text <p>The Home Office has a strong and enduring relationship with the people and Government of India, covering the breath of the justice and home affairs agenda.</p><p>The UK-India Migration Dialogue was introduced in January 2019 as a forum to progress matters relating specifically to migration and mobility. During the January 2019 Dialogue discussions focused on the future of the UK’s Border and Immigration System, following publication of the Immigration White Paper in December 2018. We have since discussed the Government’s published policy statement outlining the principles of the UK’s Pointed-Based Immigration System.</p><p>We anticipate positive future dialogues as we introduce our firmer and fairer points based system which is based on what someone has to offer the UK, not where their passport is from.</p> answering member constituency Torbay answering member printed Kevin Foster question first answered 04/03/2020 16:54:48 answering member 4451 label Biography information for Kevin Foster
