Land: Conservation
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Monday 18th March 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to protect landscapes with distinct literary heritage and value. Answered by Rebecca Pow - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Much of England's culturally rich landscapes and the literary heritage they represent are found in our National Parks, The Broads and National Landscapes. These Protected Landscapes are already specifically designated and managed to conserve and enhance their natural beauty and important cultural associations, including relevant literature and the sites which inspired it, as key components of the natural beauty of the area.
Protected Landscapes are extensively protected as set out in the National Planning Policy Framework which gives ‘great weight’ to the landscape and scenic beauty of Protected Landscapes. In addition local authorities are able to formally identify areas of local landscape value in local plans and the historic literary importance of a place can already be taken into account in development decisions. |
UK Shared Prosperity Fund
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Tuesday 19th March 2024 Question to the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities: To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, whether he plans to replace the Shared Prosperity Fund when that fund comes to an end in March 2025. Answered by Jacob Young - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities) I have received no formal representations from recipients of UK Shared Prosperity Fund monies in Northern Ireland to date. However, I recognise that UKSPF plays a significant role in supporting important provision across Northern Ireland, and in the normal course of business, my officials are regularly engaging with project deliverers and partners on this issue. As with all Government funding, decisions regarding the future of UKSPF after the end of the current programme in March 2025 are a matter of the next spending review, so we are currently unable to outline specific plans at this stage. We recognise the need for those delivering UKSPF to have certainty as to its future and are committed to setting out further detail in due course. My officials are regularly engaging with project leads and partners on this issue. |
State Retirement Pensions: Women
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Tuesday 26th March 2024 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will take steps to introduce a compensation scheme for women affected by the Pensions Act 1995. Answered by Paul Maynard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Work and Pensions) We are considering the Ombudsman’s report and will respond in due course. |
Blood: Contamination
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Wednesday 27th March 2024 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what discussions he has had on the appointment of a chair for the compensation arms length body for infected blood victims. Answered by John Glen - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office The Government will respond in full to Sir Brian’s recommendations on compensation following the publication of the Inquiry’s final report, however, we are making progress. In particular, the Government will bring forward amendments at Report Stage of the Victims and Prisoners Bill in the Other Place with the intention of speeding up the implementation of the Government’s response to the Infected Blood Inquiry. |
Blood: Contamination
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Wednesday 27th March 2024 Question to the Cabinet Office: To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what steps he is taking to ensure interim payments to infected blood bereaved families are made without delay. Answered by John Glen - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office In October 2022, we made interim payments of £100,000 to chronic infected beneficiaries and bereaved partners registered with existing support schemes. I recognise the importance the infected blood community places on interim payments relating to those deaths not yet recognised, and the Government is working through the technical implications of recommendation 12. |
Migrants: Health Services
Asked by: Claire Hanna (Social Democratic & Labour Party - Belfast South) Thursday 28th March 2024 Question to the Home Office: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of removing the immigration health surcharge for people who already (a) work and (b) pay taxes in the UK. Answered by Tom Pursglove - Minister of State (Minister for Legal Migration and Delivery) The Government has no plans to remove the Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) for temporary migrants who work and pay taxes in the UK. It is right those granted temporary immigration permission for more than six months should contribute to the sustainability of our NHS. Having paid the IHS, temporary migrants can access the NHS as soon as they arrive in the UK and will only be charged for services that a permanent resident would also pay for, such as prescription charges in England. Although some temporary migrants will pay tax and National Insurance contributions after they start work in the UK, they will not on average have made the same financial contribution to the NHS which most UK nationals and permanent residents have made, or will make, over the course of their working lives. It is an individual’s immigration status, not their tax and National Insurance contributions, which governs their access to the NHS. |
