uin	148058
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2022 answer text <p>The Government takes police integrity and accountability extremely seriously. In February 2020, we introduced a statutory duty of cooperation for serving police officers as part of wider integrity reforms, making it clear that officers have a responsibility to cooperate with investigations, inquiries and formal proceedings when acting as a witness. A failure to cooperate with this duty is a breach of the statutory standards of professional behaviour, by which all officers must abide, and could therefore result in disciplinary sanction.</p><p>The Home Office will continue to assess the impact of this existing duty on police co-operation with inquiries and investigations, and the Home Secretary will set out her conclusions on a specific duty of candour for the police later this year in response to the reports of Bishop James Jones on the experiences of Hillsborough families’, and of the Daniel Morgan Independent Panel.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 31/03/2022 10:00:29 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

To facilitate this, Defra requires that all pets entering GB airports are transported safely and securely to the pet checking facility. Operations at airports are sensitive and complex, and other vital border controls need to be considered. In practice, this means that most pets currently travel to GB by air as 'manifest cargo'. This enables the pets to be transferred directly to the pet checking facility and means that a documentary record of the pet’s arrival is available to customs and other border control officials.</p><p> </p><p>The safety and welfare of the animals is given prime importance before approval to transport the animals is granted. Carriers are required to ensure that air quality and quantity, temperature and pressure is maintained while the animals are on board. Food and water must also be provided, according to the journey duration. Stringent requirements are also in place for pet transport containers under the International Air Transport Association Live Animals Regulations, with space and ventilation concerns paramount.</p><p> </p><p>Currently, the only animals that are authorised to travel in the cabin of a commercial aircraft into GB are Recognised Assistance Dogs.</p><p> </p><p>We have no immediate plans to change the means by which pet cats and dogs may enter GB by air.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 29/03/2022 15:49:30 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2022 answer text <p>The impact of noise is significant. It can result in children struggling to get a good night’s sleep and disrupt the hard work of businesses and public.</p><p>The police already have a number of powers to tackle anti-social behaviour through the Anti-social behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. These powers are deliberately local in nature. It is for local authorities to work together to determine how best to respond to each individual case. Home Office statutory guidance supports them to do so.</p><p>The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill, contains measures which will improve the police's ability to deal with unjustifiably noisy protests that may result in serious disruption to the activities of an organisation or in a significant detrimental impact on members of the public.</p><p>I am disappointed that the House of Lords did not back measures which are supported by the elected House and which would have helped to further reduce this disruption caused by a minority of protesters.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/03/2022 15:27:31 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
