answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government has targeted its relief at the most electricity intensive industries operating in international markets, in line with the European Commission’s published Aid guidelines.</p><p>We recognise that in setting an eligibility threshold, there will be some companies that will not receive the relief while their direct competitors do. We have sought to address this by notifying the European Commission that we intend to provide relief to direct competitors who do not pass the eligibility threshold. We have had a number of discussions with the Commission on this proposal, although this has not been approved to date. We are keen to resolve how best to address the issues faced by direct competitors. We are therefore investigating options that may be available to us within the scope of EU State Aid guidelines.</p><p>BEIS officials are happy to meet with representatives to discuss this matter in further detail.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 21/11/2016 13:55:55 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

We will not tolerate a practice that can cause extreme and lifelong physical and psychological suffering to women and girls.</p><p>The Government is clear that tackling FGM needs a coordinated response from a range of professionals, including teachers, health professionals, social workers and police which is why on 1 April we published updated multi-agency guidance on FGM which we have put on a statutory footing to support compliance.

To date, the course has been completed by over 30,000 people. Our FGM Unit is providing outreach support to local areas and working to raise awareness of resources available to professionals, including training, best practice examples and information on legislation and policy.</p><p>In addition, the Department of Health’s £3 million FGM Prevention Programme is focused on improving the response of NHS to FGM, and through its Innovation programme, the Department for Education is funding the Local Government Association and Barnardo's to develop a centre of excellence and outreach to support local authorities.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley grouped question UIN 37281 question first answered 23/05/2016 11:53:12 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
