answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The last at-sea disposal of explosives on the UK continental shelf took place in 1976. The last disposals of chemical weapons off the continental shelf took place in 1957 while disposals of munitions off the continental shelf ended in 1992. Information relating to events prior to 1989 has been destroyed or transferred to the National Archives in accordance with the Public Records Act. No information relating to later events is known to be held in Ministry of Defence archives. No central record exists of such information and to search for any previously unidentified information would incur a disproportionate cost.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew grouped question UIN 264427 question first answered 20/06/2019 16:19:02 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold comprehensive data on planned completion dates for the remediation of ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) buildings. The Government has provided £600 million funding to remove unsafe ACM cladding from high rise residential buildings in the social and private sector. This will remove the biggest blocker to progress on remediation in these buildings. However, it is important to recognise remediation work cannot be done overnight, and it must be done properly. The time to complete work varies considerably depending on the factors such as structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems. For many buildings this is a complex job involving major construction work. We want buildings to be remediated as quickly as possible and we will be closely monitoring the work as it progresses.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:46:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
