tabling member constituency	Hendon
tabling member printed	Dr Matthew Offord
uin	182841
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2023 answer text <p>Water neutrality is about enabling development which does not increase the amount of water taken/ abstracted from the environment. Water companies account for the effects of growth, drought and climate change uncertainty on future demand within a Water Resources Management Plan and update this every five years.</p><p> </p><p>The investment through the Water Industry National Environment Programme (WINEP) is substantial; between 2020 and 2025 it will account for over £5 billion of asset improvements, investigation, monitoring and catchment interventions. Defra, the Environment Agency and Ofwat work with water companies to identify solutions that will improve water courses and prevent further deterioration. Water companies need to meet environmental legislative requirements set out in the Environment Act 2021.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, in our Plan for Water we set out how we are working with the Future Homes Hub and Cranfield University to “develop clear guidance on ‘water positive’ or ‘net zero water’ developments and roles for developers and water companies, including water company incentives”. This guidance could be used by Local Authorities and any other organisation that aspires to become water positive.</p><p> </p><p>In our Plan for Water we also set out that we will “support development of Agricultural Water Resources Management Plans through the Water for Food Group initiated by the National Farmers’ Union”. We are working with the agriculture sector and supporting farmers to store more water on their land – launching the second round of the £10 million Water Management Grant to fund more on-farm reservoirs and better irrigation equipment - and reducing planning barriers to small reservoirs.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow grouped question UIN 182840 182842 182843 question first answered 09/05/2023 13:49:43 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2023 answer text <table><tbody><tr><td><p>The United Kingdom stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine in its fight for accountability for Russia’s actions.</p><p>The Attorney General has regular contact with her Ukrainian counterpart, Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin. She visited him in Kyiv and joined him at Ukraine’s United for Justice conference in Lviv over 3 to 5 March, and more recently hosted him in London for the UK-Dutch Justice Ministers’ Conference in support of the International Criminal Court’s investigation into the situation in Ukraine.</p><p>Prosecutor General Kostin is responsible for the extraordinary task of investigating and prosecuting crimes committed in Ukraine and has opened over 80,000 files covering a range of alleged offences. The Ukrainian authorities have brought successful war crimes prosecutions already in Ukraine’s domestic courts, in real time during this live and brutal conflict – a practically unprecedented achievement.</p><p>We are supporting Ukraine in their domestic legal processes through a number of significant initiatives. We have recently concluded a judicial training programme in the region, led by Sir Howard Morrison KC, training over 100 judges in person on the conduct of war crimes trials.</p><p>The UK, together with the United States and EU, has also launched the Atrocity Crimes Advisory Group (ACA) to directly support the War Crimes Units of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine in its investigation and prosecution of conflict-related crimes. The ACA seeks to streamline coordination and communication efforts to ensure best practices, avoid duplication of efforts, and encourage the expeditious deployment of financial resources and skilled personnel to respond to the needs of the OPG as the legally constituted authority in Ukraine responsible for dealing with the prosecution of war crimes on its own territory.</p><p>This government remains steadfast in its ongoing support to Ukraine’s search for justice.</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency Mid Dorset and North Poole answering member printed Michael Tomlinson question first answered 03/05/2023 09:10:44 answering member 4497 label Biography information for Michael Tomlinson
