Alongside other actions taken, this helped contribute to a 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions for the government estate, compared to the 2009 to 2010 baseline. The reduced energy consumption, from the 50% reduction in Greenhouse Gas emissions across the estate, saved the government an estimated £148 million in 2019 to 2020, compared to the 2009 to 2010 baseline.</p><p> </p><p>To build on this progress, in October, Defra published a new Greening Government Commitments Framework for 2021 to 2025. This includes a refined sub-target on domestic flights: between 2021 to 2025, departments are required to report on, and achieve, reductions in emissions from domestic flights by at least 30% from a 2017/18 baseline. Departmental progress against this target will be published annually.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 29/11/2021 16:57:35 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2021 answer text <p>We offer help appropriate to the individual circumstances of each case. Our staff make an assessment of vulnerability and needs, based on the individual, where they are and the situation they are facing. We aim to offer assistance which helps meet these needs. Normally, we do not provide consular assistance to dual nationals in the country of their other nationality. We can offer consular assistance to a British dual national in the country of their other nationality if we consider them vulnerable and we have humanitarian or human rights concerns, such as the possibility of facing the death penalty, corporal punishment, or fair trial concerns. However, the help we can provide will depend on what the host government will agree. If a dual British national is detained in a third country we offer the same support as we would for mono-British nationals.</p> answering member constituency Cannock Chase answering member printed Amanda Milling question first answered 02/12/2021 13:54:30 answering member 4454 label Biography information for Dame Amanda Milling

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/12/2021 answer text <p>National museums and galleries in the UK, including the British Museum, operate independently of the Government, but some are prevented by law from “deaccessioning” objects in their collections unless, broadly, they are duplicates or unfit for retention. The two exceptions to this are when the objects are human remains that are less than 1000 years old, and objects that were spoliated during the Nazi era. The Government has no plans to change this law.</p> answering member constituency Mid Worcestershire answering member printed Nigel Huddleston question first answered 02/12/2021 14:49:25 answering member 4407 label Biography information for Nigel Huddleston
