Written Question
Horses
Friday 27th February 2015

Asked by: Iain Wright (Labour - Hartlepool)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment she has made of the powers available to local authorities to intervene on privately-owned land to (a) monitor and (b) protect the welfare of horses; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by George Eustice

The Animal Welfare Act 2006 provides appropriate powers to allow Local Authority inspectors to investigate allegations of poor welfare of horses. The 2006 Act was reviewed in 2010 and the Parliamentary Select Committee on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs made no recommendation to change the powers available to Local Authorities.

Fishing Industry

"It is a great pleasure to follow the hon. Member for Southend West (Mr Amess). He has been a Member of this House since 1983, which is a remarkable achievement of longevity, and longevity has been a theme of today’s debate—both the importance of longevity in the fishing industry and …..."

Fishing Industry

"The hon. Lady has great wisdom and experience in this matter and makes a very good point, and she is absolutely right. The fishermen in the under-10 metre fleet in my patch will not be able to go further afield. They are tied—quite rightly—to the Hartlepool area and will not …..."

Written Question
Exhaust Emissions: Hartlepool
Monday 8th September 2014

Asked by: Iain Wright (Labour - Hartlepool)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what information her Department holds on (a) air quality and (b) pollution levels caused by vehicles in Hartlepool constituency; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Dan Rogerson

Defra provides information about recent and historic levels of pollution, pollution forecasts, health advice and background modelled data on the UK-AIR website at: http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/. Forecasts are issued daily and cover the next five days.

Although Defra does not have a permanent monitoring station in Hartlepool, the nearest monitoring stations can be found on UK-AIR’s interactive monitoring networks map at: http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/interactive-map.

Modelled data is provided for levels at roadside locations for major roads in the UK. This data can also be found at: http://uk-air.defra.gov.uk/data/gis-mapping. Local authorities (in this case Hartlepool Council) have a responsibility to assess air quality at a local level. Defra provides guidance and air quality assessment tools to support local authorities in carrying out their duties under the Environment Act 1995. This information can be found at: http://laqm.defra.gov.uk/. Local authorities report on the outcomes of assessments in air quality reports and submit the reports to Defra. Air quality reports include air quality monitoring data, pollutant emissions, sources of pollution and historical trends.

Hartlepool Council’s air quality reports do not apportion information on pollution levels between those caused by traffic vehicles and other sources.

Flood Risk (North-East England)

"I congratulate my hon. Friend on securing an important debate for our region. He mentions the once-in-100-years frequency, but does he accept that such incidents are occurring much more frequently as a result of climate change and other factors, and that the infrastructure is struggling to cope with flash flooding? …..."
