answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text As and when matters are brought to the attention of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) they are assessed in the context of the SFO's remit to investigate fraud, bribery and corruption. If appropriate, relevant matters will be considered for criminal investigation in line with SFO internal procedures. The SFO does not comment on its assessments or their status at any one time but does publish on its website details of those cases formally adopted for criminal investigation, when this is possible without prejudice to the investigation. answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 30/10/2015 14:51:18 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text <p>Implementation of the Water Framework Directive within the UK is a devolved matter. In England, the Environment Agency’s 2014 consultation on updating the 2009 River Basin Management Plans considered a scenario in which around 75% of waters would reach good status or good ecological potential by 2027 (or later where natural recovery times are an issue). It estimated the benefits of achieving this to be £21 billion (present value), with costs of £12 billion.</p><br /><p>The Environment Agency will shortly be submitting its updated proposed River Basin Management Plans with revised estimates of the costs and benefits to the Secretary of State, for consideration with a view to their approval and publication by the end of the year.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 30/10/2015 10:56:29 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text <p>An assessment of the costs and benefits of the revised Waste Framework Directive in England and Wales was carried out when laying the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 which transposed the Directive. The assessment was published and is still available on the Legislation.gov webpages. As waste is a devolved issue, the Scottish and Northern Irish administrations carried out and published their own impact assessments, which are similarly available online.</p><p>The European Commission are expected to publish proposals to amend the revised Waste Framework Directive on 2 December. Once those proposals are published, we will submit another explanatory memorandum to the House, assessing the potential costs and benefits of those changes.</p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 30/10/2015 10:07:40 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart
