The proposed FRC were put forward by Sir Rupert Jackson, then a Court of Appeal judge, in his 2017 <a href="https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fixed-recoverable-costs-supplemental-report-online-2-1.pdf" target="_blank"><em>Review of Civil Litigation Costs: Supplemental Report – Fixed Recoverable Costs</em></a><em>. </em>The FRC set out in Sir Rupert’s report will be uprated for inflation prior to implementation in 2022. As proposed by Sir Rupert, housing disrepair claims will generally be allocated to Band 3, with more complex claims falling in Band 4. The Ministry of Justice does not hold detailed data on claimant costs awarded in housing disrepair claims.</p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 03/11/2021 16:29:54 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2021 answer text <p>We are extremely concerned by reports of widespread human rights violations and abuses in Ethiopia. Civilians must be protected and the violence must stop. The UK is supporting the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to ensure that their joint investigation into atrocities in Tigray, with the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission, is independent, transparent and impartial and holds the parties to this conflict directly responsible for their actions. It will issue its report on 1 November. We are also examining how we can best support institutions undertaking investigations into Human Rights abuses and violations. The Foreign Secretary, our Ambassador in Addis Ababa and I continue to raise human rights issues in our discussions with the Ethiopian Government and more broadly we have reminded all warring parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law.</p> answering member constituency Chelmsford answering member printed Vicky Ford question first answered 28/10/2021 07:58:55 answering member 4674 label Biography information for Vicky Ford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2021 answer text <p>This Government is committed to net zero and takes its legally binding climate commitments very seriously. Carbon pricing (including through tax) is one of the most efficient tools for promoting decarbonisation and already plays a key role in helping the UK achieve net zero emissions by 2050. The UK Emissions Trading scheme, alongside a wide range of taxes, including the Climate Change Levy, Vehicle Excise Duty, and Carbon Price Support rate, are designed to encourage businesses and consumers to make greener choices.</p><p> </p><p>The UK supports the G20 commitment to rationalise and phase out inefficient fossil fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption, and sees clear benefits in doing so. The UK does not have any fossil fuel subsidies, which are measures that reduce the effective price of fossil fuels below world market prices, as per the definition used by the International Energy Agency.</p><p> </p><p>The Government keeps all taxes under review, and any changes are made in the round at fiscal events.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 25/10/2021 15:04:46 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer
