In March this year the World Bank published a comprehensive set of methodologies and sector notes detailing its approach to Paris alignment.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>Since publishing the rough sleeping strategy last September, Government is making good progress on core commitments: for instance, we have extended our flagship Rough Sleeping Initiative to 2025, with over £530 million funding so that local areas can provide the tailored support needed to tackle rough sleeping in their areas. On the Rough Sleeping Accommodation Programme, we have now delivered over 5,000 units of accommodation out of a programme target of 6,000 and have launched the new £200 million Single Homelessness Accommodation Programme which will provide much needed homes for young people and rough sleepers with complex needs.</p><p>Rough sleeping levels are 35% lower in 2022 compared to the peak in 2017 and 28% lower than they were in 2019 before the pandemic. We will continue to work with local authorities and partners, the voluntary and community sector and private sector.</p><p>As the Hon. Member will be aware, rough sleeping and homelessness policy is devolved.</p> answering member constituency Kensington answering member printed Felicity Buchan grouped question UIN 199185 question first answered 18/09/2023 17:54:10 answering member 4821 label Biography information for Felicity Buchan

tabling member constituency	Worsley and Eccles South
tabling member printed	Barbara Keeley
uin	199035
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2023 answer text <p>The Government has closely considered the case for designating St Pancras as a CITES Point of Entry and Exit (PoE), including data and information provided by stakeholders. Given the nature of CITES trade and the demands a PoE would place on the terminal’s resources and facilities, we do not consider it appropriate to designate it at this time. Since leaving the EU, we have worked to expand the number of PoE across the UK. This ensures the movement of CITES goods can take place in the most efficient way possible. Defra keeps the list of designated PoEs under review and will continue to work closely with Border Force and industry to evaluate and update the PoE list as appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Copeland answering member printed Trudy Harrison question first answered 18/09/2023 11:30:16 answering member 4593 label Biography information for Trudy Harrison
