answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/05/2024 answer text <p>The government’s Biomass Strategy, published in 2023, analysed biomass availability and recognised that sustainable biomass is a limited resource and there is uncertainty around future availability for use in the UK. It concluded its use should be prioritised where it offers the greatest environmental, economic, and social benefits.</p><p> </p><p>This analysis has been built on in the government’s response to the second Sustainable Aviation Fuel Mandate consultation, published in April 2024. This set out that while biofuels have a significant role to play, international availability of different types of sustainable biomass may limit their total application for the decarbonisation of aviation.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is preparing a Low Carbon Fuel Strategy for future publication.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Cambridgeshire answering member printed Anthony Browne question first answered 23/05/2024 10:37:19 answering member 4801 label Biography information for Anthony Browne

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2024 answer text <p>Locally significant historical and archaeological features identified by local authority Historic Environment officers that could potentially benefit from management under environmental land management schemes are placed on the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England (or SHINE).</p><p> </p><p>These irreplaceable features are often only on a part of a parcel and Government does not pay for any action that could cause them damage. Farmers may already be using this land for food production and many of these features are subject to environmental land management scheme actions which either cause no harm or can directly benefit them.</p><p> </p><p>In 2022 we changed the process so that we could allow for the areas containing sensitive heritage features to be separated out from the remaining field area.</p><p> </p><p>We want to ensure that farmers have the maximum opportunities to be able to take part in our schemes and to that end will work with our partners to refine both SHINE data and SFI actions. We also expect to introduce further actions that allow for management of SHINE features under the Sustainable Farming Incentive later in the year.</p><p> </p><p>We will hold a roundtable discussion in due course to address the issues raised.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 15/05/2024 13:21:17 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer
