The United Kingdom (UK) Government has committed £142 million of non-ODA funding to the hurricane relief effort in the Overseas Territories. In addition up to £300 million of loan guarantees will be available to help the affected Overseas Territories access the funds needed to Build Back Better. ODA rules have not and will not stop Britain dedicating the money needed for the hurricane recovery and reconstruction the Overseas Territories.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 11/12/2017 18:04:50 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

The FCA is actively investigating issues surrounding access to financial services and vulnerable customers, and is also undertaking a wider review of firms’ pricing practices. The FCA recently published its ‘approach to consumers’ consultation paper which includes a focus on understanding the needs of vulnerable people.</p><p> </p><p>The government awaits the finding of the FCA’s consultation.</p><p> </p><p>The government believes that it is important that consumers have access to suitable insurance products at the right price. We recognise that various factors – including age – can impact on availability, pricing and terms of insurance policies. As set out in the government’s response to the final report of the Lords Select Committee on Financial Exclusion in November 2017, we are setting up a new Financial Inclusion Policy Forum. This will help us to consider important issues on this subject, enabling ministers to take a strategic, cross-government approach on action to improve financial inclusion.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 12/12/2017 14:52:52 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay

uin	117197
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2017 answer text <p>As part of the environmental permitting process for new incinerator plants, the regulator is required to make an assessment of the environmental impact of each site, and to set limit values in the environmental permit for emissions to air of a wide range of key pollutants, including PM2.5 and PM10. These atmospheric emissions are subject to a strict monitoring regime. There are no relevant environmental standards for PM1 and so no limit values are set for that parameter.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 08/12/2017 17:56:56 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

uin	117201
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2017 answer text <p>The effects of modern municipal waste incinerators on human health were reviewed by the Health Protection Agency, whose functions were transferred to Public Health England (PHE) 1 April 2013. The report, published in September 2009, concluded “Modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.”</p><p> </p><p>PHE will review its advice in light of new substantial research on the health effects of incinerators published in peer reviewed journals. To date, PHE is not aware of any evidence that requires a change in their position statement.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 12/12/2017 13:57:01 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
