tabling member constituency	Upper Bann
tabling member printed	David Simpson
uin	1947
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>Water quality is a devolved issue and I can only respond with respect to England.</p><p>Slurry is a highly polluting organic effluent generated by livestock and is strictly controlled through regulations. Illegal dumping of slurry in a river could kill fish and aquatic life and cause bacterial contamination of drinking water supplies.</p><p>Under the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010, it is an offence to discharge polluting material to a watercourse without a permit. The use of properly constructed and maintained stores greatly reduces the risk of significant pollution events. The Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Silage, Slurry and Agricultural Fuel Oil) (England) Regulations 2010 as amended in 2013 set minimum requirements for the construction of these facilities. The Nitrate Pollution Prevention Regulations 2015 prohibit the spreading of slurry where there is a significant risk that it may get into surface water. The Code of Good Agricultural Practice sets out guidance for the management of slurries.</p><p>Details of how to comply with all these regulations are published on GOV.UK.</p><p>The Environment Agency uses data it gathers from its monitoring networks and the evidence it gathers from its catchment walkovers to identify potential risks. It advises operators on managing their effluents safely. Where required, the Environment Agency can also take enforcement action ranging from warning letters through to formal notices and prosecution to bring people back into compliance with the law.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 15/06/2015 14:38:45 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p /> <p>Last year the Department undertook an initial feasibility assessment of a voucher scheme to pay Winter Fuel Payments directly to energy providers. It showed that there would be significant additional administrative complexities and costs to the energy providers which were likely to directly increase the fuel bills for all customers and we expected that a significant number of the most vulnerable pensioners would lose out by not redeeming their voucher.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 15/06/2015 15:18:03 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/06/2015 answer text <p>We made a clear commitment, through the Armed Forces Covenant, which we enshrined in legislation in 2011, to support members of the Armed Forces Community, which includes both serving personnel and veterans.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Social care has never been free and people, including veterans, have always been asked to make a contribution based on what they can afford. Veterans injured before 6 April 2005 receive payments under the War Pensions Scheme, which predates the welfare state. Veterans injured from 6 April 2005 receive payments under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme. The two schemes reflect the time in which they were developed and as a result they operate differently and are, currently, treated differently in the financial assessment of what people can afford for social care.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Officials in the Department of Health have been working closely with the Royal British Legion to assess how the two schemes might be treated under the social care charging rules in future and the impact of any change on local authority finances. We are grateful for the time the Royal British Legion has taken to work with the officials. We are very much committed to continuing this conversation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 15/06/2015 11:33:02 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

uin	1713
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/06/2015 answer text <p>Bail decisions are operational decisions made by the police and courts on a case-by-case basis. We are reforming the police bail process in the Policing and Criminal Justice Bill and are clear that the decision to impose bail should take careful account of the seriousness of the offence and the risk posed by the individual. These considerations apply to cases of rape, indecent assault and sexual offences against children as they would to any other serious offence committed against a child.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/06/2015 13:40:04 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
