Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many in-flight files of EU legislation exist that effect the policy areas managed by her Department; and which in-flight files of EU legislation his Department intends to implement in UK law.
Answered by Alistair Burt
After the implementation period, all laws in the UK will be passed by our elected representatives in Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh and London. The Political Declaration recognises that the UK may choose to align with the EU’s rules in relevant areas to facilitate trade in goods or security cooperation. The Official Journal of the European Union publishes upcoming EU legislation for implementation and this is publicly available online: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/oj/direct-access.html.

Question
to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how many disposable coffee cups were purchased by her Department in each of the last five years.
Answered by Harriett Baldwin
- Shadow Minister (Business and Trade)
We are unable to provide purchasing data prior to 2017. In 2017 DFID London purchased approximately 4,300 ‘Vegware’ cups every month. Made from plant material – not plastic – these cups are organic, compostable and can be recycled with the food waste. In 2017 DFID Scotland took delivery of approximately 3,000 card and plastic cups. There are schemes in both DFID offices to encourage use of reusable coffee cups, with 10% off the price of a coffee when staff use their own cup. In DFID Scotland reusable cups are available for purchase, with the aim of bringing down the number of disposable coffee cups used.
