answer text <p>Britain has a highly resilient and diverse food supply chain which is well equipped to deal with disruption, as demonstrated throughout the COVID-19 response. British consumers have access, through international trade, to food products that cannot be produced here, supplementing domestic production, and ensuring that challenges such as adverse weather and disease do not affect the British overall security of supply. The Government also engages extensively with industry to monitor and assess all supply risks.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The only reason that the Government has been able to take action to reduce storm overflows is because of the increase in monitoring under this Government, from 5% in 2016 to almost 90% of the sewage network. The latest assessment shows sewage discharges cause 7% of waterbodies to fail to achieve Good Ecological Status. This is unacceptable.</p><p> </p><p>Our Storm Overflows Discharge Reduction Plan will prevent waterbodies from failing to meet Good Ecological Status due to storm discharges and will frontload action to protect bathing waters. We take robust action against illegal discharges. The EA and Ofwat have launched major investigations into suspected non-compliance at sewage treatment works.</p> more like this

We are tackling sewage overflows with the biggest infrastructure programme in water company history; investing in farm infrastructure, advice and action to help farmers tackle run off; restoring riparian habitats; and reviewing our Bathing Water regulations to support more designations.

answer text <p>The amount of sewage discharges by water companies is unacceptable. £1.9 billion has been invested in the Thames Tideway Tunnel, which will be completed in 2025. This project will be the largest privately funded infrastructure project in Europe. The tunnel and other improvements will reduce the annual volume of untreated wastewater entering the tidal Thames by 95%, protecting biodiversity and the public health of river users.</p> more like this

answer text <p>This Government is committed to forging and strengthening transport bonds that will create a more cohesive and connected United Kingdom. Connections between the North West of England and Scotland are a popular and indeed essential link for citizens on business and enjoying leisure time in many of our great cities and towns. The Government is grateful to Sir Peter Hendy for his independent Union Connectivity Review which details a number of recommendations that would improve links between Scotland and North West England. One example is the A75, a route of significant importance for people and businesses in terms of UK connectivity, linking Northern Ireland and North West England via Scotland.</p> more like this
