answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2022 answer text <p>There are regular discussions with Cabinet and ministerial colleagues on the situation in Ukraine. The exploitation of prisoners of war for political purposes is a clear breach of International Humanitarian Law. We will ensure those responsible are held to account and will continue to consider options in concert with our allies. The Government of Ukraine is clear that those serving in the Azov Battalion are legitimate members of the Ukraine Armed Forces. On this basis, HMG's position is that they should be treated as Prisoners of War, and in this context, the FS has not had discussions with Cabinet about the legal status of mercenaries under International Public Law. This is another example of Russia not complying with International Humanitarian Law and instead exploiting individuals for political purposes.</p> answering member constituency Aldershot answering member printed Leo Docherty question first answered 21/09/2022 15:30:13 answering member 4600 label Biography information for Leo Docherty

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether his Department has had discussions with the Greyhound Board of Great Britain on protecting the welfare of greyhounds that are being exported to Pakistan once they have been retired from racing.
tabling member constituency	Romford

uin	180431
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2021 answer text <p>In January 2019 the Government announced an increased funding commitment from bookmakers to support the Greyhound Board of Great Britain’s (GBGB) efforts to improve welfare. In 2019/20 the British Greyhound Racing Fund collected a total of £8.87m from bookmakers, up from £6.95m in the previous 12 months. The Government continues to encourage any remaining bookmakers that have not signed up to the voluntary arrangements to do so and welcomes the 22 March 2021 announcement by the Betting and Gaming Council that four more bookmakers have agreed to begin contributing to Fund. Working with the GBGB, each year the Fund contributes half its revenue to the welfare of racing greyhounds.</p><p> </p><p>GBGB has committed to ensure that, wherever possible, every greyhound leaving GBGB racing should be rehomed. They have also introduced the Greyhound Retirement Scheme. The scheme attaches a £400 bond to each greyhound at the point of registration, paid for jointly by the owner and GBGB, in order to pay for rehoming costs at the end of a dog’s racing life.</p><p> </p><p>Once a greyhound’s racing career is over, these dogs may be exported to Pakistan if the appropriate animal health and welfare certification requirements are met. We consider that completion of this process is sufficiently rigorous and costly to prevent the wide scale exportation of dogs from the UK. Since the beginning of 2019 we have only one record of an application for a certificate to export a greyhound to Pakistan. However, we are unable to account for any movements to Pakistan that may have transited through a third country.</p><p> </p><p>If we find evidence that there is a widespread problem, we can then consider what further steps may be necessary. GBGB is currently investigating whether any licensed GBGB member has knowingly supplied any greyhound directly to Pakistan.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis grouped question UIN 180430 180433 question first answered 21/04/2021 13:49:30 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

The fund is being used by Police and Crime Commissioners to invest in well evidenced, physical crime prevention measures, such as improved street lighting and CCTV.</p><p>On 28 January 2021, we launched a second £20m round of the Safer Streets Fund, for 2021/22. This second round will give funding to Police and Crime Commissioners and Local Authorities to invest in crime prevention, both in commercial and residential areas.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 19/03/2021 14:09:35 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

tabling member constituency	Romford
tabling member printed	Andrew Rosindell
uin	144959
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2021 answer text <p>The Government has put together a package of over £100 million for research and innovation to tackle the issues that arise from plastic waste. £38 million has been set aside through the Plastics Research and Innovation Fund and Resource Action Fund for research and development, including £10 million specifically to pioneer innovative approaches to boosting recycling and reducing litter. The Government has also announced £60 million of funding through the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, alongside a £150 million investment from industry, towards the development of smart, sustainable plastic packaging, which will aim to make the UK a world-leader in sustainable packaging for consumer products. Through public-private finance initiatives, the Government is already investing around £2.9 billion to support local infrastructure for waste collection and recycling.</p><p>In addition, under Defra Resources and Waste guidance, the recent UKRI SPF2 (Strategic Priority Funding) stream has allocated £3.5 million to leading UK academics to develop advanced techniques that will drive circularity in the plastics sector.</p><p>In our 2018 Resources and Waste Strategy, we committed to taking actions which will help stimulate private investment in reprocessing and recycling infrastructure as this will help to meet the target of 65% of household waste and waste produced by businesses that is similar to household waste to be recycled by 2035. The major waste reforms of a Deposit Return Scheme for drinks containers (DRS), Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging and consistency in recycling which are being legislated for in the Environment Bill, together with HM Treasury's Plastic Packaging Tax on plastic packaging with less than 30% recycled content, will increase demand for secondary material plastic and therefore increase the need for research into recycling infrastructure.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 05/02/2021 14:56:13 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
