answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2022 answer text <p>Defra’s net expenditure on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) eradication in England since 2012 is set out in the table below.</p><p> </p><p>For the financial year 2016/17, the lower figure shown is mainly due to a difference in the handling of salvage income rather than any cut in TB control expenditure in real terms.</p><p> </p><p>For the financial years after 2016/17 the figures do not include the substantial, but separately costed, expenditure made by the Animal and Plant Health Agency and its predecessor bodies, which are accounted for separately by the relevant executive Agencies. That includes expenditure on contracted out TB testing as well as the work of the Agency’s various veterinary, scientific, and administrative teams and associated operating and overhead costs. We estimate that the total costs to the taxpayer for bovine TB-related work in England have remained at around £100 million a year for each of the last 10 financial years.</p><p> </p><p>Defra’s bTB eradication strategy is working.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2020 answer text <p>All public bodies in Great Britain, including Whitehall departments, have a legal obligation under the Public Sector Equality Duty to consider the potential effects of key decisions on groups with protected characteristics including gender.</p><p>They are also required to set and publish specific and measurable equality objectives which Whitehall departments have for the last two years included in their Single Departmental Plans. The Government Equalities Office (GEO) encourages departments to publish equality objectives that cover strategic policy work and not only workforce and Human Relations issues. In addition to this, the International Development Act (Gender Equality) 2014 puts the Department for International Development’s commitment to gender equality on a statutory footing and ensures that gender equality remains at the heart of its work.</p><p>GEO has engaged with the specific departments listed on a number of policies including those related to gender equality. For example, as part of the Government’s Violence Against Women and Girls’ Strategy, GEO are working alongside Home Office on work to tackle harmful gender norms.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Berridge question first answered 23/03/2020 15:14:55 answering member 4218 label Biography information for Baroness Berridge

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2014 answer text <p>Since the publication in June of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office-funded independent report on Children in Military Custody, there has been some limited progress. This includes a pilot project to use summons instead of night-time arrests, and steps to reduce the amount of time a child can be detained before seeing a judge. We have welcomed the steps taken to date, but we have called for further measures, including the mandatory use of audio-visual recording of interrogations, investigation into continued reports of single hand ties being used, and an end to solitary confinement for children.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 06/11/2014 14:05:29 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
