Wines: Excise Duties
Asked by: Damian Green (Conservative - Ashford) Thursday 7th March 2024 Question to the HM Treasury: To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if his Department will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the eligibility criteria for the Small Producer Relief to include English and Welsh wine producers. Answered by Gareth Davies - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury) Small Producer Relief (SPR) was introduced as part of the new alcohol duty system on 1 August 2023. SPR provides a duty discount for all producers who produce less than 4,500 hectolitres of pure alcohol on their products below 8.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). Retaining a strength limit for SPR is important to ensure the relief is aligned with the new alcohol duty system's public health objectives. Wine producers are able to claim the relief on any goods they make below this level. |
Litter
Asked by: Damian Green (Conservative - Ashford) Friday 8th March 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps he is taking to tackle litter. Answered by Robbie Moore - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs) Our Litter Strategy for England sets out our aim to deliver a substantial reduction in litter and littering within a generation. The strategy contains a number of commitments, many of which have been completed or are nearing completion. Progress reports on delivering the Litter Strategy can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/litter-strategy-for-england-progress-reports.
The Prime Minister’s Anti-Social Behaviour Action Plan set out how we will support council’s to take tougher action against those that litter. For example, last July we significantly raised the upper limit on fixed penalty notices from £150 to £500.
The Chewing Gum Task Force, established by Defra and funded by producers, has provided almost £2.5 million in grants since 2022 to help nearly 100 councils remove gum stains from high streets and invest in long-term behaviour change to prevent gum being dropped in the first place. The Task Force has just launched another grant scheme for councils this year. Further information can be be found at: https://www.keepbritaintidy.org/local-authorities/reduce-litter/gum-litter/chewing-gum-task-force.
National Highways has developed a new campaign that aims to educate and change road users’ behaviour towards littering. The campaign will run from 12 February to 10 March and road users will be implored to stop littering as its deadly impact on wildlife is revealed.
In January this year, we announced our plans to ban disposable vapes in the UK. This will help to tackle a huge and growing stream of hard-to-recycle waste and litter, with nearly 5 million thrown away every week. |

Asked by: Damian Green (Conservative - Ashford) Tuesday 12th March 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps her Department is taking to help (a) recruit and (b) retain social care workers. Answered by Helen Whately - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care) The Government is committed to supporting the recruitment and retention of the adult social care workforce, by ensuring that there are opportunities to develop and progress, and that people feel recognised. In January 2024 we launched the care workforce pathway, which will provide for the first time ever, a national career structure for the workforce. This is alongside our new nationally accredited care qualification, subsidised training places for care staff, and social work and social care nursing apprenticeships. The Government also continues to deliver the Made with Care national recruitment campaign, which promotes social care as a career. |
LGBT Veterans Independent Review

Answered by Andrew Murrison - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) The Government accepted the recommendations of Lord Etherton’s report, including the financial award scheme in its formal response, published in December 2023. Development of the scheme is at an early stage so the Government cannot yet confirm the details, the expected number of claimants, or the likely size of awards.
