The Government believes effective commodities markets regulation is key to ensure economic stability. This is the lesson we have learned from the 2000s food and financial crises and the Government remains committed to the G20 recommendations that sought to uphold that.<\/p>

<\/p>

Through the Financial Services and Markets Bill, the Government is making changes to the regime which we have inherited from the EU, which is overly complicated and poorly designed. For example, to ensure that the regime is calibrated effectively, the Bill delegates the setting of position limits from the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to trading venues, who are well placed to ensure that it only applies to contracts that are subject to high volatility. The FCA will also retain its ability to directly intervene if need be. This will ensure that speculation in agricultural and physically settled contracts such as oil and gas does not lead to economic harm.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government is also using the Financial Services and Markets Bill to improve the transparency regime for commodity derivatives. The regime that we have inherited from the EU was designed for equity markets and as such does not take into account the inherent differences between these two markets. The FCA will be given responsibility for creating a more tailored regime that improves transparency and recognises the diverse nature of our markets.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4874", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Griffith"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Arundel and South Downs"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Griffith"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-12-15T08:50:53.833Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-12", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Commodity Markets: Regulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to strengthen the regulation of commodity markets to promote (a) stability and (b) transparency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4432", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Patrick Grady"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Patrick Grady"} ], "uin" : "108256"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550741", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Prime Minister"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550741/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has no immediate plans to update the 2015 Conceptual Framework on Agriculture. However, the current Independent Commission for Aid Impact review "UK aid to agriculture in a time of climate change" is likely to provide useful insights that would inform any future update. Resilience to climate change and environmental sustainability was identified as an important cross-cutting priority in the Conceptual Framework and this priority was reflected in the UK Government's initiatives to address the climate and environment impacts of agriculture at COP26. This focus was continued at COP27, with a dedicated Agriculture and Adaptation Day, a new set of Priority Actions to deliver the Agriculture Breakthrough goal and an extended mandate for the Koronivia Joint Working Group on Agriculture.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4531", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Berwick-upon-Tweed"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anne-Marie Trevelyan"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-12-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-12-19T16:33:56.4Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Agriculture: Climate Change"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what plans his Department has to update the 2015 Conceptual Framework on Agriculture to incorporate the commitments the Government made on (a) the Koronivia Joint Work on Agriculture and (b) the new Sharm el-Sheikh Work Programme at COP27.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4432", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Patrick Grady"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Patrick Grady"} ], "uin" : "107099"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550277", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550277/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The UK is committed to promoting and defending the human rights of all individuals and regularly engages with government and civil society in Brazil on that basis. In October the Foreign Secretary spoke to Brazilian Foreign Minister Franҫa and shared with him our hope for peaceful elections in Brazil. At COP27, Lord Goldsmith met newly elected Lower House Representatives Sônia Guajajara and Joênia Wapichana, prominent indigenous rights leaders, with whom he discussed the effect of environmental crime on these communities. In Advanced Questions submitted to the Universal Periodic Review in November, the UK referenced the murders of Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira and asked how Brazil intends to strengthen protections of human rights including for environmental and human rights defenders, as well as women at risk of trafficking and the LGBT+ community. We will continue to engage with relevant partners to raise these issues following President-elect Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's inauguration on 1 January 2023.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4033", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for David Rutley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Macclesfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "David Rutley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-12-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-12-15T13:42:20.683Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Brazil: Human Rights"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what recent discussions he has had with his Brazilian counterpart on the protection of human rights defenders in that country.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4432", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Patrick Grady"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Patrick Grady"} ], "uin" : "107139"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550290", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550290/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Civil society is critical for development, humanitarian and foreign policy outcomes. Encouraging international civic links is key to supporting civil society and more open, freer societies around the globe. The FCDO promotes these links in a range of ways, including through Ministerial visits, diplomatic activity and programme funding. For example, the Westminster Foundation for Democracy promotes new ways of engaging internationally, working with parliaments, political parties and civil society. Many of our UK civil society grant holders under UK Aid Direct and UK Aid Match also work in close partnership with civil society organisations overseas.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1211", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Andrew Mitchell"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sutton Coldfield"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Andrew Mitchell"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-01-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-01-05T17:37:05.677Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-12-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Development Aid"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to promote civic links between organisations in the UK and those in countries where UKaid funds programmes.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4432", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Patrick Grady"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Patrick Grady"} ], "uin" : "107147"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550350", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1550350/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Pension Credit provides vital financial support to pensioners on a low income and we want all those who are eligible to claim it.
