The Department for Exiting the European Union (DExEU) has responsibility for overseeing negotiations to leave the EU and establishing the future relationship between the UK and the EU. The Ministry of Justice, which has responsibility for civil judicial cooperation legal instruments such as the Brussels I recast Regulation, has been working closely with DExEU to consider options for the future relationship between the UK and the EU. We will work to ensure the best outcome for the UK, including its consumers and businesses.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department will assess the potential merits of moving enforcement responsibilities from carriers to Government agencies in order better to tackle the illegal importation of puppies by way of the pet travel scheme.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department will assess the potential merits of moving enforcement responsibilities from carriers to Government agencies in order better to tackle the illegal importation of puppies by way of the pet travel scheme.
Defra takes the issue of the illegal importation of puppies and abuse of the pet travel scheme seriously. All pet animals entering Great Britain on approved routes under European Union Pet Travel Scheme are subject to documentary and identity checks. These are performed by carrier’s staff or checkers acting on their behalf. The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) train and appoint carriers and pet animal checkers. APHA also undertake random audits. Audits carried out in 2015 identified only 1.3% of the animals checked to be non-compliant with pet travel rules. APHA work closely with carriers and pet animal checkers to address any issues identified and provide additional training as required.
We have no current plans to amend the arrangements for checking pet animals at the border. Defra is currently reviewing the operation of the Pet Travel Scheme in England and review includes the pet checking and carrier approval process. As part of the review the Department held a public consultation during the autumn of 2016. We are currently analysing the feedback from the consultation which will be published as part of the overall review in 2017. Since December 2015 APHA Port of Dover staff have been working in partnership with the Dogs Trust to identify, seize and quarantine underage puppies illegally transported into the country.

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department takes to monitor the enforcement of the Pet Animals Act 1951 by local authorities.
We are currently reviewing the laws on the selling of pet animals with the aim of replacing the Pet Animals Act 1951 with regulations made under the Animal Welfare Act 2006. The purpose of the new regulations will be to ensure that it is easier for local authorities to enforce and to improve animal welfare.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Lord Chancellor has any responsibility for enforcing that section of the Supreme Court Guide to Judicial Conduct which concerns political activity by a close member of a justice's family.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Lord Chancellor has any responsibility for enforcing that section of the Supreme Court Guide to Judicial Conduct which concerns political activity by a close member of a justice's family.
The Lord Chancellor has no immediate responsibility. In accordance with the published Supreme Court Judicial Complaints Procedure, the President of the Supreme Court, or his deputy, or the next senior Justice, is responsible for considering complaints about the conduct of Justices depending on who it is about. If formal action is required a tribunal is convened to report to the Lord Chancellor. It would then be for the Lord Chancellor to consider whether to take further action.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what measures are in place to ensure that the Abortion Regulations 1991 are properly enforced; and what disciplinary processes may be implemented for violations of those Regulations.
Section 2 of the Abortion Act 1967 and the Abortion Regulations in respect of England, require all Registered Medical Practitioners terminating a pregnancy to give notice in form HSA4 to the Chief Medical Officer within 14 days of the procedure. Information on how many forms were submitted late in each of the last five years is not routinely recorded. However, when a form is received 14 days after the date of termination, officials send a letter to the terminating doctor reminding them of their legal obligations. Wilful non-compliance with the notification requirements is a criminal offence and would be reported to the police to investigate.

Section 3.9 of the National Minimum Wage and National Living Wage enforcement policy document is accurate as a general statement on the interaction between UK domestic law and international conventions and customs. However, there are some circumstances under which seafarers on non-UK flagged vessels operating in UK territorial waters might be eligible for the national minimum wage.
In collaboration with the Department for Transport and maritime stakeholders, we have been developing more detailed guidance on minimum wage law with respect to seafarers working on both UK and non-UK flagged ships, which will be published in due course.

The Government is determined that everyone who is entitled to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) and National Living Wage (NLW) receives it. Anyone who feels they have been underpaid NMW or NLW should contact the Acas helpline on 0300 123 1100. HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) reviews all complaints that are referred to them.

The right hon. Gentleman will know I am a proud trade unionist. This is an area of great concern to me. I have met my friends in the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers, and Nautilus International—I have Nautilus’ charter with me. My officials have been working closely with officials in the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy and HMRC, as well as stakeholders, on the application of the national minimum wage to seafarers in UK waters more generally.

I am grateful to hear that the Minister is taking this matter seriously. It surely cannot be right for HMRC to deem that a ferry service that starts in Aberdeen and finishes in Lerwick is operating wholly outside UK territorial waters. It is nonsense for the body that is supposed to enforce the minimum wage to be undermining it in this way. Will the Government do something to stop this?

I worked with the right hon. Gentleman in government and he knows of me what I know of him, which is that he does his homework. I have the statutory instrument and the original legislation in my hand as I speak. Let me tell him this: I am committed to reviewing the legislation to ensure that it applies to the offshore sector.
