Offshore wind is already bringing high value jobs to coastal communities like Grimsby, for example, from the Triton Knoll project.<\/p>

<\/p>

Hull has seen 1,000 direct jobs created from the £310 million investment in Siemens\u2019 blade factory.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are moving to advance discussions with the offshore wind sector around a Sector Deal that ensures higher levels of local content, UK jobs and investment in supply chains, like those in the hon Member\u2019s constituency.<\/p>

The volume of seized commodities, such as ivory, sometimes fluctuates between years due to a few large volume seizures in previous years.<\/p>

Border Force continues to work closely and dynamically with the police and the National Wildlife Crime Unit to control illegal imports and exports of ivory and respond to emerging threats. It is also working innovatively with the National Association of Valuers and Auctioneers (NAVA) to facilitate the surrender of ivory to Border Force for destruction where its provenance cannot be established<\/p>

Border Force Transparency Data figures (2014-2017) shows that the number of seizures made have increased from 40 seizures in 2014 through to 176 seizures in 2017.<\/p>

The local authority public health grant provides funding for health services delivered through local authorities. However it is not the entirety of the funding nor spend for public health services. For example, in addition to the grant there is circa £1.2 billion ringfenced for NHS national public health services within the NHS mandate figures, as well as other Departmental expenditure on vaccines and on grant in aid to Public Health England.<\/p>

Motorcycle awareness is already part of the car theory test. The multiple choice part of the theory test includes questions about the vulnerability of motorcyclists, particularly in the adverse weather conditions, and about their visibility. The hazard perception part of the theory test includes many hazards involving motorcyclists; every candidate sitting the car theory test sees at least one hazard involving a motorcyclist.<\/p>

We have now agreed in principle a draft Withdrawal Agreement with the other 27 EU nations.

The UK Government sees no reason why UK boaters should see any change as a result of the UK\u2019s exit from the EU. For the most part, it is the rules and regulations of coastal states that apply rather than visas or EU legislation, and maritime transport is liberalised at the international level.<\/p>

The Political Declaration on the Framework for the Future Relationship between the EU and the UK Government is clear that connectivity in the maritime transport sector will be underpinned by the international legal framework.
