answer text <p>The Greyhound Board of Great Britain (GBGB) began publishing injury and retirement data from GBGB affiliated tracks earlier this year as part of several non-regulatory agreements they have with Defra arising from Defra’s Post Implementation Review of the Welfare of Racing Greyhounds Regulations 2010. Officials have regular discussions with the GBGB on this, and are satisfied with the progress being made. Officials also meet regularly with the Chair of the Greyhound Forum, which represents a series of welfare groups with an interest in the welfare of racing and retired greyhounds.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Government welcomes Heathrow Airport Limited’s (HAL) commitment to follow public sector procurement rules for its purchases of steel. It is one of a number of commitments HAL has already made to British industry, including the development of supply chain hubs across the country and that 95 per cent of the procurement spend will be with the UK supply chain. The Government has not made an assessment of the effect that this commitment will have on the strength of the UK steel industry. HAL’s own assessment is that expansion at Heathrow will require tens of thousands of tonnes of steel, securing hundreds of jobs across the industry.</p> more like this
