answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2014 answer text <p>We have given our backing in principle to my hon. Friend, the Member for Brent Central's (Sarah Teather) Tenancies (Reform) Bill, which seeks to protect tenants from the small minority of rogue landlords who, rather than meet their legal duty to keep their properties at a reasonable standard and remove health and safety hazards, instead evict tenants simply for asking for essential repairs to be made.</p><p> </p><p>But we need to ensure that the Bill does not impose unfair burdens on the whole sector, as the overwhelming majority of landlords are responsible. The Bill should be balanced, such that tenants cannot make vexatious complaints, and that it does not bring in excessive red tape.</p><p> </p><p>The Bill will have its 2nd reading on 28 November, and this will give the House an opportunity to debate its merits.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 27/11/2014 16:57:03 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis previous answer version 30499 answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government is not obliged to keep a list of assets which have been accepted as being of community value; this is the responsibility of the relevant local authority. However, we know that over 1,500 assets have been listed and these range from pubs (over 500), museums, parks and green spaces, post offices and village shops and an iconic cold war era control tower at Greenham Common.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2014 answer text <p>I have studied Chemical Biological Radiation Nuclear and Damage Control (CBRNDC), including firefighting, as part of my training as a Royal Navy Reservist. This is a mix of academic study and practical exercises carried out at a number of locations including BRNC Dartmouth, Phoenix CBRNDC School and sea-time on a warship, in my case HMS Bulwark during the Cougar 13 deployment. I have carried out this training over the last 3 years. It is not possible to calculate the number of hours spent on firefighting training but the syllabus for this requirement of Royal Naval Reservist training follows that in the Royal Navy Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Defence Manual BR2170.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 28/11/2014 14:35:25 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt
