question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Henley on 24 October (HL10985), why Mr Haddrill was appointed responsible accounting officer on 1 August 2017 in view of the fact that he had been Chief Executive of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) since 2009, and the FRC at the date of his appointment was designated a public body under the Government Resources and Accounts Act 2000; whether there was a period during which the FRC operated without a responsible accounting officer; if so, where accountability lay during that period; whether the FRC informed the Public Accounts Committee that it operated without a responsible accounting officer, for how long, and under whose authority; and if not, why not.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/11/2018 answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics concluded in December 2014 that the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) was a public body within central government. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills (as it then was) examined whether there was scope for further review. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy concluded in 2017 that they should work with the FRC on the formal application of all relevant guidelines. Prior to that date, the Department communicated the requirements it imposed on the FRC as a public body through the FRC’s Chief Executive Officer.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 19/11/2018 15:41:50 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>As we leave the EU we want to support farmers to grow more, sell more and export more great British food. Productivity is the key driver of long-term economic growth and prosperity. Our future agriculture policy will allow farmers to provide a supply of healthy, home-grown produce made to high environmental and animal welfare standards. The future policy will be underpinned by measures to increase productivity and invest in new technology. This will help farmers become more profitable and reduce their environmental footprint. Leaving the EU is an opportunity to boost domestic productivity through research, adoption of best practice, investment in new tools and technologies and adoption of new business models.</p><p>Further preparation for our withdrawal is continuing to be undertaken across the whole of government to consider how we best manage checks and controls in a range of scenarios. We have been very clear that when we leave the EU, we will categorically not dilute our world-leading set of standards on food safety and quality. We are committed to upholding these with robust and independent scientific and technical advice. Any products entering the UK market must meet our high standards of quality and safety.</p><p>The UK has a high degree of food security, built on access to a range of sources including strong domestic production and imports from third countries. Consumers will continue to have access to a range of different products when we leave the EU.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 15/11/2018 11:05:03 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
