answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government set out in the 25 Year Environment Plan, published in January 2018, its commitment to reform the packaging producer responsibility system. Our Resources and Waste Strategy was published in December 2018 and contains details on how we will do this, including measures to incentivise packaging producers to make better, more sustainable decisions at the design stage and point of manufacture. Through replacing the current system with Extended Producer Responsibility we will require producers to fund the full net cost of managing the packaging they place on the market, once it becomes waste. These measures will provide a strong incentive to producers to reduce the amount of packaging they use and to make packaging that is more easily collected and recycled. The proposals are open to consultation until 13 May 2019 and can be found here: <a href="https://consult.defra.gov.uk/environmental-quality/consultation-on-reforming-the-uk-packaging-produce/" target="_blank">https://consult.defra.gov.uk/environmental-quality/consultation-on-reforming-the-uk-packaging-produce/</a>.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also committed in the Resources and Waste Strategy to review the effectiveness of the Packaging (Essential Requirements) Regulations 2015 by the end of 2020. These regulations set out rules that producers of packaging must follow when designing packaging, including the requirement that packaging should be kept to a minimum volume and weight.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey question first answered 04/03/2019 09:16:37 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey

uin	226673
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The UK is seeking broad energy cooperation with the EU including arrangements for trade in electricity and gas, cooperation with EU Agencies and bodies, and data sharing to facilitate market operations. All these are designed to ensure continuity in terms of effects on consumer energy prices. In line with our continued commitment to ensuring that business is prepared for EU Exit in all scenarios, we set out the implications of no deal for UK energy in our technical notices on trading electricity and gas. In either scenario, the UK’s exit from the EU will not alter the fact that our energy system is resilient, secure and drawn from a number of sources. The UK will remain physically linked to the EU post-exit through interconnectors, and the UK gas market is one of the most liquid and developed markets in the world and provides security through diversity of supply, the majority of which does not depend on the EU.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 04/03/2019 13:51:15 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not notify surviving spouses or civil partners about any possible entitlement to Bereavement Support Payment as a matter of routine. However, information is available which aims to ensure people are aware of any benefits to which they may be entitled and how to claim them. The way information is made available about bereavement benefits is under constant review to try to ensure bereaved people know about their possible right to benefit. As well as traditional sources of information (such as leaflets), we have worked with funeral directors, Registrars and voluntary groups to try to ensure people are fully informed of the action to take following the loss of a husband, wife or civil partner.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 04/03/2019 15:10:12 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
