On 22 January, I announced that our new Veterans Railcard would be available from 11 November this year. Most railcards can be used across Great Britain and, given the interconnected nature of rail services, I have written to my counterparts in Wales and Scotland inviting them to work with me to ensure the Veteran\u2019s Railcard is accepted on services for which they are responsible. Passengers will be fully appraised of the railcard\u2019s validity before it goes live, and this will include how to apply and the detailed terms and conditions.<\/p>

Sentencing is a matter for the courts, which are independent from the Government. When deciding what sentence to impose the courts take into account the circumstances of the offence and any mitigating and aggravating factors, in line with the sentencing guidelines which are published by the independent Sentencing Council for England and Wales. The guidelines are intended to promote greater transparency and consistency in sentencing. Sentencing is a devolved matter in Scotland and Northern Ireland.<\/p>

<\/p>

In line with the manifesto commitment to introduce tougher sentences for animal cruelty, the Government remains fully committed to increasing the maximum custodial sentences for animal cruelty offences from six months to five years. The necessary legislation will be introduced as soon as Parliamentary time allows. The Welsh Government has agreed this increase should apply in Wales. The Scottish Government has proposed a similar increase for its equivalent offence in Scotland. Northern Ireland already has a maximum penalty of five years\u2019 imprisonment for animal cruelty offences.<\/p>

The efficacy and safety of statins has been studied in a number of large trials which showed that they can reduce cardiovascular events low-density lipoprotein strokes and save lives. The studies have also provided evidence that more significant lowering of LDL cholesterol with statins is associated with increased benefits in reducing cardiac events, particularly in patients who are at high risk such as those with a history of coronary artery disease and diabetes. Trials have also shown that medically significant side effects with statins are rare. Overall, the benefits of using statins to reduce cholesterol levels are considered to outweigh the risk of side-effects in the majority of patients.<\/p>

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the national body responsible for issuing best practice guidance for the National Health Service in England, has also published a clinical guideline on cardiovascular disease. This guideline, \u2018Cardiovascular disease: risk assessment and reduction, including lipid modification\u2019 was last updated in September 2016 and makes recommendations on the effective use of statins. NICE\u2019s guideline is available at the following link:<\/p>

NHS funding has been set out in the published Long Term Plan which commits to grow NHS revenue funding by an average of 3.4% in real terms over the next 5 years \u2013 a real terms increase of 20.5 billion by 2023/24. The Barnett formula will be applied in the usual way to determine funding for the devolved administrations. It is for devolved administrations to allocate this funding across their devolved responsibilities, including to their health services if they so choose.<\/p>

The Government is committed to supporting frontline staff in the NHS who make a valuable contribution to patient care. More than one million NHS staff in England are currently benefitting from the three-year Agenda for Change pay deal, which came into force in 2018/19 and will see the starting salary for a newly qualified NHS nurse rise to £24,907 by 2020/21, an increase of 12.6% since 2017/18.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government takes a flexible approach to public sector pay, taking into account each workforce\u2019s circumstances so that public sector employers can address skill shortages, incentivise improvements to public sector productivity, and recruit to meet demand for services. This approach means that public servants, including NHS frontline staff, are rewarded fairly while making sure that public services remain affordable and sustainable in the long-term.<\/p>

Privately managed parking is currently self-regulating through the two parking trade associations, the British Parking Association (BPA) and the International Parking Community (IPC). Both bodies have Codes of Practice that cap parking fines at £100.

All gambling companies providing gambling facilities to consumers in Great Britain must be licensed by the Gambling Commission and comply with the conditions and codes of practice of their operating licences. The Gambling Commission expects operators to obey the laws of other jurisdictions in which they operate, and requires operators to report any regulatory investigation or finding into their activities in any other jurisdiction.<\/p>

<\/strong><\/p>

Operators must inform the Gambling Commission if they have a substantial customer base outside of Britain. Where this is the case, the Gambling Commision asks operators why they do not consider themselves to be acting illegally by providing gambling facilities in these jurisdictions. This may be because they are licenced to operate in that jurisdiction, or because they have satisfied themselves in some other way that they are not breaking the law by providing gambling facilities. If operators are found to not to be acting in a lawful manner in other jurisdictions, the Gambling Commission will re-assess their suitability to hold a licence to offer gambling services in Britain.<\/p>
