The Department for Transport has not made an assessment of the economic impact of the decline in the UK\u2019s ranking in the World Bank\u2019s Logistics Performance Index (LPI).<\/p>

According to the latest available data published by the Office of National Statistics (ONS), the Transport and Storage Sector contributed £83.5 billion Gross Value Added to the UK economy in 2021. It should be noted that this figure includes some sub-sectors not specific to logistics.

Northern Ireland is an integral part of the United Kingdom, and its consumers should be able to enjoy products they have bought from Great Britain. Our biosecurity standards remain as high as they always have done, and these goods remain entirely safe for NI consumers to enjoy. The Government has seen no evidence of chilled meats moved from Great Britain finding their way onto the EU market.<\/p>

We welcome the fact that we have been able to agree an extension of the grace period on chilled meats moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland. This means that Northern Ireland consumers will be able to continue to buy chilled meat products from Great Britain, and allows for further discussions to continue on a permanent solution without requiring the UK to dynamically align with EU rules.<\/p>

The Prime Minister demonstrated his focus on climate action on Tuesday 4 February 2020 by launching the COP26 Climate Summit. The text of the speech is available at https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/pm-speech-at-cop-26-launch-4-february-2020<\/a><\/p>

Regarding meetings of the Cabinet, it is a long established precedent that information about the discussions that have taken place in Cabinet and its Committees, and how often they have met, is not shared publicly.<\/p>

The negotiations timetable for COP26 will be set by the UK, as President of COP26, including the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Secretariat. The timetable will be informed by the outcome of negotiations, including at the intersessional meeting in Bonn in June. Details of the timetable for high level and public events will be announced by the Government in due course.<\/p>

The UK Government is working closely with the Scottish Government and with operational delivery partners, including Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council, to ensure the successful delivery of COP26 in Glasgow. The security plan for the COP26 venue will be jointly developed and agreed on by the United Nations security team and UK counterparts. Discussions with delivery partners regarding costs for COP26 are ongoing, and final budgets and details are yet to be confirmed.<\/p>

The UK Government is committed to working with the Scottish Government, Welsh Government and Northern Ireland Executive to deliver an ambitious and successful summit for the whole of the UK.

The Government believes that consumers should be treated fairly. Consumers must be able to access clear and transparent information about the charges that may apply to the financial services they use.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The UK already has put in place a robust regulatory regime to protect consumers. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is empowered to act to ensure that financial markets work well so that consumers get a fair deal.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government introduced a cap on the cost of payday loans in January. All fees and charges that may be incurred in relation to a payday loan are covered by the cap. The Government has also given the FCA the power to cap the cost of all forms of consumer credit if it deems necessary to protect consumers.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

New regulations will come into force in September 2016 to ensure all current account customers will have access to a standardised annual statement of fees and to ensure customers receive a Fee Information Document prior to choosing their bank account.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In April of this year, the Government helped to deliver Midata to enable customers for the first time to compare which bank is best for them based on how they use their personal current account.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

On mortgages, the Chancellor announced in Autumn Statement 2014 that the Council of Mortgage Lenders and Which? would work together to improve the transparency of mortgage fees and make it easier for borrowers to choose the best mortgage deals. This project is due to report this summer and the Government expects most of the industry to have made the necessary changes by the end of the year.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is also introducing measures to support retailers. The Interchange Fee Regulation will come into effect later this year and will cap fees which are charged to retailers by their banks for accepting debit and credit cards.<\/p>
