answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to pursuing a negotiated outcome which maintains our ability to export all seed to the EU and recognises that this issue is of particular concern for the seed potato industry. However, it is our duty as a responsible Government to prepare for all eventualities, including no deal, until we can be certain of the outcome of those negotiations.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The EU has stated in its Preparedness Notice for plant reproductive material that, in a no deal scenario, UK seed of all species will be subject to its equivalence requirements for third countries. This means that UK seed will not be marketable in the EU until the EU recognises UK processes as equivalent. Defra, with input from the devolved administrations, has made an initial application to the EU Commission for third country equivalence. More detailed information is being prepared in anticipation of discussion with the EU shortly. If approved, this would allow UK exports of seed potatoes to continue as they do now.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 28/11/2018 14:43:39 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government will take into account all factors that need to be considered in regulating the sale of the most polluting fuels. This includes the energy content of the fuels, the air quality benefits, and the impacts on business and households of switching to cleaner fuels. The useful heat output of fuel (in Kilowatt hours) is dependent upon the appliance used, and therefore it would not be appropriate to assess PM2.5 emissions by kilowatt hour for a specific fuel.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 28/11/2018 14:52:01 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
