Passengers between major urban areas across the North will benefit from a comprehensive range of improvements with the introduction of higher-quality services on longer-distance routes which includes the route between Doncaster and Hull. The package of improvements which are still being rolled out, will include better trains, more comfort and reduced journey times on some routes.<\/p>

<\/p>

Train services between Hull and Doncaster are also provided by Hull Trains which is an open-access operator and is in the process of introducing a new fleet of brand new trains.<\/p>

Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 it is an offence to cause any unnecessary suffering to an animal or to fail to provide for its welfare and this includes rabbits kept in all respects. The maximum penalty for these offences is six months\u2019 imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. However, the Government recently announced its support for a Private Members\u2019 Bill which seeks to increase the maximum custodial penalty from six months to five years for the offence of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.<\/p>

<\/p>

The keeping of commercially farmed rabbits is additionally provided for by the Welfare of Farmed Animals Regulations 2007, which contains general provisions under which all farmed animals must be kept and has a specific schedule for rabbits. Defra also has a statutory welfare code for rabbits which provides good husbandry advice and which keepers of rabbits are required by law to be familiar with and have access to.

The welfare of ducks is provided for in welfare the general provisions of the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and the Welfare of Farmed Animals (England) Regulations 2007. Defra has a duck code which encourages high standards of husbandry for the keeping and breeding of farmed ducks, including requirements for handling; suitable housing; stocking rates; and the provision of feed and water. The industry also has its own farm assurance schemes which represent the commercial duck farming industry and has specific requirements to ensure the welfare of farmed ducks, as well as protecting their health, hygiene and food safety.<\/p>

The Spittlegate Scheme is being promoted by Lincolnshire County Council and delivered by a private developer under a Section 6 agreement. Highways England is supervising the works, but it is wholly funded and promoted by the County Council. The scheme involves the construction of a new grade separated junction on the A1, referred to as Spittlegate. The works on the A1 will form part of the Grantham Southern Relief Road.<\/p>

<\/p>

The 50mph temporary speed limit is required for safety reasons, both for road users and the workforce during the construction of the works. Highways England worked closely with the Council to ensure that the works were planned in a way to minimise the impact on road users.<\/p>

<\/p>

Further information on the status of the scheme, including its timeframe for delivery, can be found on the County Council\u2019s website: https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/major-projects/grantham-southern-relief-road<\/a><\/p>

Designation of protected landscapes is a devolved matter. The three most recent Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) designated in England are: Tamar Valley AONB in August 1995 (Cornwall and Devon), Nidderdale AONB in February 1994 (North Yorkshire) and Blackdown Hills AONB in June 1991 (Devon and Somerset). In addition, there have been variations to the boundaries of Dedham Vale AONB (Nayland-with-Wissington) in September 1991, Cotswolds AONB in December 1990; and Chilterns AONB in March 1990.<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of the 25 Year Environment Plan, the Government commissioned a Review of Designated Landscapes, led by Julian Glover \u2013 the final report was published in September 2019. The Government welcomes the review and is carefully considering its proposals, including those concerning new designations.<\/p>

The Environment Agency (EA) takes the lead role in managing flood risk in England under the Flood & Water Management Act (2010). They work with partners to reduce flood risk for people, property and the environment. Local authorities and internal drainage boards manage the smaller watercourses, and the EA manages the larger rivers.<\/p>

<\/p>

The EA\u2019s 2011 National flood and coastal erosion risk management strategy for England set the direction for all risk management authorities. The EA will be finalising their new national strategy for managing flood and coastal erosion risk during 2020. This new strategy will outline how partner organisations can work better together to create climate resilient places; growth and infrastructure resilient to tomorrow\u2019s climate; and a nation of climate champions.<\/p>

<\/p>

All risk management authorities and landowners have a role to play in planning for and responding to emergencies. The Civil Contingency Act (2004) sets out the roles and responsibilities of responders.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local Resilience Forums (LRFs) come together to plan and prepare for localised incidents and catastrophic emergencies. They work to identify potential risks and produce emergency plans to either prevent or mitigate the impact of any incident on their local communities (including homeowners).<\/p>

<\/p>

It is recommended that each LRF has a Multi-Agency Flood Plan (MAFP) outlining the roles and expectations of all organisations involved at a local level in preparation for, and during a flood. In 2018, a review was carried out of the effectiveness and consistency of MAFPs across the country and government\u2019s response was published in 2019. To support that response, Defra has provided updated guidance for LRFs on what should be included within their MAFP.<\/p>

In July 2019 work commenced to determine a vision for a core rapid charger network on England\u2019s strategic road network. This will report in Spring 2020. Government and industry have supported the installation of over 17,000 devices providing over 24,000 publicly available chargepoints. This includes over 2,400 rapid chargepoints \u2013 one of the largest networks in Europe. We want all new public rapid chargepoints to offer \u2018pay as you go\u2019 card payments from spring 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

Highways England has committed £15m to ensure there are chargepoints rapid where possible every 20 miles on 95% of the Strategic Road Network by 2020.<\/p>

<\/p>

Alongside the private sector, the Government plans to invest £1 billion in charging infrastructure \u2013 making sure that everyone is within 30 miles of a rapid charging station for electric vehicles.<\/p>

Stringent rules apply to ensure food and feed safety in the United Kingdom. UK feed law implements European Union legislation to ensure feed is safe for animals, the environment and the public who consume animals and their by-products. Fish are regarded as food producing animals.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are specific rules prohibiting certain materials from being used in animal feed and maximum levels for certain undesirable substances. Additionally, additives used in feed need to be authorised and used within maximum levels where specified. There are also rules on the hygiene, production and storage of animal feed. These are based on the best available scientific evidence and analysis.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government remains committed to ensuring that the high standards of food and feed safety and consumer protection we enjoy in this country are maintained.<\/p>
