Genetically Modified Organisms: Food
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn) Friday 17th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to ensure (a) clear and (b) transparent labelling of genetically modified foods. Answered by Andrea Leadsom Genetically modified organism (GMO) labelling rules stipulate that foods sold in Great Britain that contain genetically modified ingredients must be labelled. This labelling gives consumers the choice on whether to consume such foods containing, or consisting of, GMO ingredients, and the choice to avoid such foods, should they wish to do so. In the case of food sold loose, or where food has been cooked in genetically modified products such as cooking oil, this must appear on a notice, menu, ticket, or label which can be easily read by customers. Information about any characteristic or property which renders a food consisting of or containing genetic modifications different from its conventional counterpart, such as its composition, nutritional value, the intended use of the food or feed, or any health implications for certain sections of the population, must also be included. The Government maintains a list of GMOs authorised for use in food and feed. It is compulsory that the product adheres to mandatory traceability and labelling requirements, and that the product developer provides monitoring reports to the Food Standards Agency and Food Standards Scotland on an annual basis. |
Genetically Modified Organisms: Food
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn) Friday 17th May 2024 Question to the Department of Health and Social Care: To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she is taking to ensure traceability in the food chain for foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. Answered by Andrea Leadsom Genetically modified organism (GMO) labelling rules stipulate that foods sold in Great Britain that contain genetically modified ingredients must be labelled. This labelling gives consumers the choice on whether to consume such foods containing, or consisting of, GMO ingredients, and the choice to avoid such foods, should they wish to do so.

Food: Genetically Modified Organisms
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn) Wednesday 22nd May 2024 Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of genetically modified foods on public health; whether he has had discussions with corporations involved in the manufacture of genetically modified foods about indemnities for potential future harms; what the annual budget is for the Genetic Modification Inspectorate (GMI); and what plans he has for future funding for the GMI in the context of the potential impact of the Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2022 on the planting of genetically modified crops. Answered by Mark Spencer i) All GM food and feed products must undergo an extensive and robust risk assessment process under the Food Standards Agency’s GM regulatory framework to ensure they are safe. The risk assessment involves a thorough assessment of whether the food could be toxic, its nutritional value and whether it could cause allergic reactions. GMOs will only be approved to enter the food chain if they are judged to not present a risk to health, not mislead consumers, and not have less nutritional value than existing equivalent products.
After an authorisation has been issued in accordance with the GM food and feed regulations, authorisation holders are required to inform government of any new scientific or technical information which might influence the evaluation carried out of the safety in use of the food or feed.
ii) The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has not had discussions or been approached by corporations interested in exploring indemnities for future harms, should they occur and are revealed to have proven links to GMO foods.
iii) The current annual budget for the Genetic Modification Inspectorate (GMI) is covered within the gross funding model under the Animal and Plant Health Agency commission from Defra, and as such it is not possible to draw out any specific amount relating to this. As of May 2024, there have been 16 field trials using the Genetically Modified Organisms (Deliberate Release) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2022. The GMI has not reported any additional demands as a result. |
Factory Farming: Animal Welfare
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn) Thursday 23rd May 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 reduce the number of factory farms; and what assessment he has made of the impact of the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway. Answered by Mark Spencer There are a number of different farming systems within the UK and farms of all sizes have a role to play in promoting sustainable UK agriculture. The Government promotes efficient, competitive farming, but does not seek to favour large- or small-scale farms.
All farms must comply with comprehensive UK law on animal health and welfare, planning, veterinary medicines and environmental legislation. Stockmanship and high husbandry standards are key to ensuring appropriate welfare standards for all farmed animals.
We are committed to supporting farmers to exceed our existing world-leading animal welfare standards, including through the Animal Health and Welfare Pathway.
A full monitoring, evaluation and learning plan for the Pathway is in place to help assess the impact of financial support being offered to farmers. This is being implemented gradually as more Pathway offers are launched. |
Wind Power: Seas and Oceans
Asked by: Virginia Crosbie (Conservative - Ynys Môn) Thursday 23rd May 2024 Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero: To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, whether she has taken steps with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to increase the offshore wind capacity delivered in the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 compared to Allocation Round 5. Answered by Andrew Bowie - Shadow Minister (Energy Security and Net Zero) On 6 March 2024, the Government confirmed over £1 billion of budget will be available in the Contracts for Difference Allocation Round 6 auction, including £800 million allocated to offshore wind. This followed the announcement in November that the administrative strike prices for fixed and floating offshore wind had been increased by 66% and over 50% respectively, since the previous allocation round.
This budget announcement makes this the largest round yet, with four times more budget available to offshore wind than in the previous round. |

No Department None 8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Nuclear <p>Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. 'Atomic Kitten', 'Pocket Rocket', Virginia Crosbie—one and the same, the woman who, over the past four and a half years, as the MP, who should be returned again, has worked so hard, with residents, business owners and the UK Conservative Ministers, to bring nuclear energy and thousands of jobs to Ynys Môn. The energy that she has put into this initiative could itself split the atom, and she has succeeded in her aims. Now, contrast that with the silly shambles of Plaid Cymru, who have claimed they don't oppose nuclear energy, but yet Liz Saville-Roberts, Plaid's group leader in Westminster, stated at the ITV <em>Leaders' Debate</em>: 'You know as well as I that Plaid Cymru's policy is no new sites for nuclear. That would include Wylfa and it would include Trawsfynydd.'</p> |

No Department None 8. Welsh Conservatives Debate: Nuclear <p>No, absolutely no misleading on my part.</p> |
Wed 22 May 2024
No Department None 4. Topical Questions <p>Do you know it's not that long ago that the leader of Plaid Cymru was actually saying how much against nuclear power they were? The doom and gloom coming from those benches is just—. On a more cheery note, what a fantastic announcement there has been today that Wylfa on Ynys Môn has been chosen as the UK's next nuclear power station, an announcement that we on these benches certainly welcome. The UK Conservative Government, and, indeed, the pocket rocket Member of Parliament, Virginia Crosbie, they're delivering for Ynys Môn, they're delivering for north-west Wales in terms of the massive economic benefit coming to Anglesey. </p> |
