The UK is determined to make good on commitments to support companies to implement zero-deforestation supply chains, including in respect of palm oil. Through the Amsterdam Declarations and the Tropical Forest Alliance 2020, we are working with businesses and other governments to strengthen governance, promote market-based solutions and put in place incentives, policies and actions that support sustainable production of palm oil alongside forest protection. While we are not proposing to bring forward a ban, we recognise that more remains to be done and will continue to explore opportunities to improve the sustainability of palm oil production.<\/p>

The UK continues to meet all current international air quality limits except for NO2. In July 2017 we published the NO2 Plan, backed by £3.5 billion funding, which sets out the steps we are taking to comply with NO2 limits as soon as possible. We are working intensively with local authorities, to identify measures to swiftly bring forward compliance, and support them with guidance and funding. This includes major cities outside London which are exceeding NO2 limits.<\/p>

Drugs are controlled where there is scientific and medical evidence that they are harmful to health and society. The possession of any amount of a controlled drug is a criminal offence and the supply of a controlled drug is an even more serious offence. No illegal drug taking can be assumed to be safe and there is no safe way to take them.<\/p>

The Government\u2019s approach remains clear: we must prevent illicit drug use in our communities and help those dependent on drugs to recover while ensuring our drug laws are enforced. In relation to drug testing at events, chief constables are responsible for operational decisions in their local area and we are not standing in their way.<\/p>

The National Policing Lead for Drugs provided updated advice in the summer to all Chief Constables to make them aware of matters that they should consider if working with event organisers who may wish to use drug testing services.

In the UK, the Gangmasters Labour and Abuse Authority (GLAA) licenses businesses which provide workers to the farming, food processing and shellfish gathering sectors to make sure they meet the employment standards required by law; and carries out inspections and enforcement activity.<\/p>

The GLAA has been given police powers to investigate serious cases of labour market exploitation across the entire economy in England and Wales, and in 2016/17 the GLAA directly intervened on behalf of 4,691 workers to prevent them from exploitation. The GLAA also partner with businesses, such as Sainsbury\u2019s, to deliver training sessions to their suppliers, so they can better identify and manage risks in their supply chains.<\/p>

It has been the longstanding policy of successive Governments not to reveal specific details of the budgets or spending of the intelligence agencies.<\/p>

However, a recent NCA and NPCC joint bid to the Police Transformation Fund (PTF) secured £2.2 million for an immediate uplift to work to tackle online child sexual exploitation. This will fund a significant expansion of the Joint Operations Team (JOT). Furthermore, in his speech at the NSPCC in September, the Home Secretary announced an extra £21m investment in law enforcement and intelligence agencies over the next 18 months to enable a focus on reducing the volume of offending and pursuing the most hardened and dangerous abusers, which also includes further funding for the JOT.<\/p>

The JOT is a jointly managed National Crime Agency (NCA) and GCHQ capability, drawing on the experience and knowledge of the NCA and the high end capabilities and tradecraft of GCHQ to investigate and disrupt online Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse.
Working collaboratively provides a very powerful operating model. The JOT has supported the NCA in bringing offenders such as Dr Matthew Falder the university lecturer who committed 137 offences to justice.
