	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/02/2015 answer text <p>Under provisions in the Building Act 1984 approved inspectors have a duty to inspect plans of proposed building work for compliance and, where required, consult fire and rescue authorities and sewerage undertakers on the plans. Where the plans show compliance and where the person carrying out the work wishes, the approved inspector will give a plans certificate to that effect. A plans certificate is a public document. Regulation 9 of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations 2010 requires approved inspectors to operate independently. The Government has no plans to change the relevant provisions in the Building Act 1984 or Regulation 9 of the Building (Approved Inspectors etc.) Regulations.</p> answering member constituency Bristol West answering member printed Stephen Williams question first answered 05/02/2015 13:00:53 answering member 1492 label Biography information for Stephen Williams

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2015 answer text <p>The Department does not specify the numbers of staff or how they should be deployed as this is something that the operators are much better placed to manage and understand. The Department is considering the option of specifying that, where appropriate, drivers take on the job of opening and closing the train doors on the Northern Rail and Transpenine Express franchises, as happens on many other parts of the railway. Our approach is to assess the bids we receive to ensure they adequately provide for passengers to be able to purchase tickets, have access to appropriate service information and feel safe and secure on trains.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 23/01/2015 10:47:35 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
