answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2020 answer text <p>Game rearing businesses play an important role within our rural economy. While there are no specific schemes to support shooting organisations, I am pleased that there is a growing demand for game meat.</p><p> </p><p>Our new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme will be based on the principle of ‘public money for public goods’. It will allow us to provide funding to those who manage land to deliver environmental public goods. This will include shooting estates or other game managers who manage their land in a way that delivers these public goods. Detailed eligibility criteria will be established for ELM as the scheme is developed, working with stakeholders.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 24/09/2020 15:21:32 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government aims to secure a deep and comprehensive free trade deal with the EU that continues to provide for frictionless, tariff-free trade, supporting the continued success of our agricultural sectors. Our departure from the EU also provides an opportunity for the UK to have an independent trade policy and a new agriculture policy which enables game producers and other sectors to improve their productivity and competitiveness outside of the EU, while also improving our environment. We remain confident in the resilience of our agricultural sectors and their ability to thrive outside of the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 12/11/2018 15:42:26 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government Buying Standards for Food and Catering Services (GBSF) covers the categories of food typically served in public sector establishments. The Standards require that all UK legislative standards of production are met which, for meat and meat products, includes traceability, authenticity and animal welfare. These standards also apply to farmed game animals.</p><p>A complimentary tool to the GBSF is the Balanced Scorecard, which helps to evaluate the value of contract bids for bid and services. This tool references Statutory Management Requirements for wild birds.</p><p>In addition, the Food Standards Agency also provides a Meat Industry Guide and Wild Game guidance which set out comprehensive guidance on meeting legislative standards for meat production and hygiene regulations for supplying game for human consumption.</p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley question first answered 09/11/2018 10:49:04 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
