answer text <p>There are currently no proposals for the UK to grant access for US agri-food products outside of the EU’s current approvals regime and hence no specific assessment has been undertaken. Until the UK leaves the EU we will continue to meet all relevant EU food safety legislation. Once we have left the EU, maintaining the UK’s high standards of food safety will remain a priority.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p>Euratom provides the legal framework for civil nuclear power generation and radioactive waste management across the European Union. Specifically, it covers nuclear safeguards, and the movement and trade of nuclear materials between Member States and third countries.</p><p> </p><p>This Government remains committed to the highest standards of nuclear safety, safeguards and support for the industry.Whilst membership of Euratom has served the UK well, the benefits of Euratom membership can be achieved through other means as well.</p><p> </p><p>The UK will remain publicly accountable on nuclear safety matters through our membership of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The IAEA’s legal frameworks for the nuclear sector are the basis on which the Euratom Community and the UK’s own domestic regime is based; there is no intention to weaken the current standards. The UK’s future nuclear safeguards arrangements will continue to provide the quality, safety and robustness that currently exist under Euratom.</p>

answer text <p>We do not expect there to be Barnett consequential payments arising from the third runway itself at Heathrow Airport, because the scheme is privately financed.</p><p> </p><p>Heathrow Airport Ltd has also pledged to meet the costs of any surface access proposals that are essential to deliver airport expansion. Where projects have wider public benefits, the Government will consider the need for additional public funding on a case by case basis in line with the Aviation Policy Framework. For any additional UK Government spending the Barnett formula will be applied in the usual way at the appropriate time.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The devolved administrations will receive a fair share of the money raised by the levy and it will then be for them to decide how to use it in their own administrations. We are also working with the devolved administrations to ensure that funding for apprenticeships works for employers and learners wherever they are in the UK. The funding policy we announced on 25 October will allow employers in England to use their levy funds to train apprentices from elsewhere in the UK, provided they are working in England. We are aiming to agree reciprocal arrangements with devolved administrations.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chairman of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf.</p><p>It is difficult to estimate the precise amount of asbestos that is present in the Palace of Westminster because asbestos materials of various types have been widely used, over the years, often concealed in ducts and voids, and buried in the fabric of the building. Before the dangers of asbestos were known it was used extensively in building works due to its strength and resistance to heat and fire. Extensive surveying has been undertaken to inform Parliament’s management of asbestos and robust controls are in place which cover checking for the presence of asbestos and the safe execution of works. Asbestos-containing materials have been identified by completion of an Estate wide asbestos management survey and subsequent analyses where applicable.</p><p>Parliament’s Asbestos Management Plan complies with the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and follows Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance. Risks associated with asbestos-containing materials are managed in line with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. The plan is reviewed annually and has been independently audited.</p><p>All estates staff undergo Asbestos Awareness training and those responsible for instructing and arranging works on the Estate’s fabric have Asbestos Management training which provides information and advice about the dangers of asbestos, including asbestos-related diseases. Contractors and their staff are also required to undertake this training, or to provide evidence that they have done equivalent training.</p>
