answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2020 answer text <p>Restoring an open trading system is vital for global recovery post-COVID. We will continue to champion free and fair trade, and we will support business recovery by opening up markets through free trade agreements, our new Export Strategy, and driving investment across all parts of the United Kingdom. Our ambitious free trade agreement with the US aims to reduce tariffs for key exports such as dairy. As Cornwall and the South West account for two-thirds of all our dairy exports to the US, this will be particularly important for local businesses in my Hon. Friend’s constituency and the surrounding areas, such as Davidstow creamery.</p> answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena question first answered 12/05/2020 16:04:50 answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena

uin	46031
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/05/2020 answer text <p>The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) regulates the conduct of solicitors and those who breach the conduct rules can be struck off or prosecuted before the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT). Whilst the SRA does operate a compensation fund, this is for those who have suffered financial loss caused by a solicitor, rather than for those who have lost funds by other means. In response to the question of reviewing these discretionary compensation payments made by the SRA I refer the honourable Member to the answer I gave on 29 April 2020 to question PQ38895.</p><p> </p><p>Where fraud cases are prosecuted, the court has powers to award compensation. In other cases, the Financial Ombudsman Service is available for complaints between consumers and businesses that provide financial services.</p> answering member constituency Cheltenham answering member printed Alex Chalk question first answered 18/05/2020 16:23:49 answering member 4481 label Biography information for Alex Chalk
