answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2023 answer text <p>In July the Government published reforms to the UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) to ensure it supports the delivery of net zero by 2050.

As part of the UK ETS Authority, it is not appropriate for the Government to comment on UK ETS prices.</p><p> </p><p>Maintaining international competitiveness for UK businesses is a key objective of the UK ETS and the impacts of UK ETS policy on trade with the EU are monitored closely.</p> answering member constituency Beverley and Holderness answering member printed Graham Stuart question first answered 12/09/2023 16:21:33 answering member 1482 label Biography information for Graham Stuart

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government would prefer all animals to be stunned before slaughter but respects the right of the Jewish and Muslim communities to eat meat prepared in accordance with their religious beliefs. The Government is aware that there is public interest about meat from animals slaughtered in accordance with religious beliefs being sold to consumers who do not require their meat to be prepared in this way. Where meat is labelled as halal or kosher this must be accurate and must not be misleading to the consumer.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Government believes that consumers should have the necessary information available to them to make an informed choice about their food and this is an issue that we are considering in the context of our departure from the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley grouped question UIN 198326 question first answered 11/12/2018 11:10:36 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Government regularly receives representations from concerned taxpayers on the levels of remuneration offered to senior local government officers. Whilst councils are independent employers we have taken steps to increase transparency and accountability on these local decisions.</p><p>Under the Localism Act, councils are required to publish an annual pay policy statement setting out their approach to pay, in particularly senior pay. In guidance to which all councils must have regard when preparing their policy statements, we have said that full council should to vote on senior salaries and exit packages of £100,000 or more.</p><p>Through the Transparency Code councils are required to publish on-line a range of workforce information including details of senior salaries for employees earning £50,000 or more and detailed organisation charts.This will further open up senior pay to greater public scrutiny. We also published “50 ways to save” a practical guide on how councils can make sensible savings in their budgets. This includes either cutting senior pay or looking at sharing chief executives and senior management teams. I would note that Ministers in this Government cut their salaries in 2010 and then froze them for the rest of this Parliament.</p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 13/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
