answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>Public rights of way are a local issue and this matter is the responsibility of the local County Council. We are unable to comment on specific cases, to avoid prejudice should they come before a Government Minister or Planning Inspector for a decision. I can, however, offer some general advice which I hope you will find helpful.</p><p> </p><p>Public rights of way exist in four categories: footpaths for use on foot (or with mobility scooters); bridleways for use on horseback or bicycle as well as on foot; restricted byways for use of carriages in addition to the above; and byways open to all traffic for use of motor vehicles in addition to the other types.</p><p> </p><p>A public right of way is added to the network by either proving the way existed through historic evidence or proving the public has used the route for 20 years. The use needs to be at the appropriate level. For example, a bridleway would not be added if there is no evidence it has been used by horses or bicycles. Whether the route is amenable to local residents is not considered at this stage as it is an evidence-based process only.</p><p> </p><p>Once a route is recognised as part of the network, a public path order may be made to change the status of the route by agreement with the local authority. Here convenience, safety and other such concerns are taken into consideration. In both instances, the public has the right to object to the proposed changes to the network and the local authority advertises the changes in order to give residents the opportunity to give their views.</p><p> </p><p>The Planning Inspectorate (PINS) administers rights of way cases on behalf of Defra. They deal with cases where the decision has been challenged.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 14/06/2021 16:36:29 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2021 answer text <p>The UK has a proud hop-growing tradition, with the climate, soils and the entrepreneurial farmers and growers that enable us to produce the highest quality hops, with a wide selection of traditional and new varieties. We want to encourage a thriving and competitive farming sector where all farms, including those growing hops, can be profitable and economically sustainable. There is a huge opportunity for UK agriculture to improve its competitiveness – developing the next generation of food and farming technology, adopting the latest techniques and investing in skills and equipment.</p><p>From autumn 2021, we will open the new Farming Investment Fund which will provide grants to farmers, foresters and growers (including contractors to these sectors) so that they can invest in the equipment, technology and infrastructure that will improve their productivity and deliver environmental and other public benefits. This will help businesses to prosper while enhancing the environment. We are also working closely with the British Hops Association on mitigating the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the industry.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 14/06/2021 13:09:39 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/06/2021 answer text <p>In the 2020-21 financial year, the Resource Accounting and Budget (RAB) charge for full-time Plan 2 loans was estimated to be 54% (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-loan-forecasts-england-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/student-loan-forecasts-england-2019-to-2020</a>). This is calculated by forecasting how far future repayments on those loans will fall short of the amount originally lent, when put into present value terms using the HM Treasury discount rate (currently RPI + 0.7%).</p><p>The interest charged on student loans adds to the total amount of repayments received. For 2020-21 loans issued, the department estimates that repayments due to interest reduced the RAB charge by 4 percentage points.</p> answering member constituency Chippenham answering member printed Michelle Donelan question first answered 07/06/2021 11:39:55 answering member 4530 label Biography information for Michelle Donelan
