	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/03/2024 answer text <p>We are committed to making prisons a safe place to work and recognise the risks associated with the current wet shave razor provision. In the 2021 Prison Safety White Paper, we committed to trial alternatives to wet-shave razors in prisons to test whether a change in approach might lead to a safer environment for both prisoners and staff. Throughout 2022 and 2023 six pilots have been carried out in the male estate and one carried out in the female estate.</p><p>Testing at all sites has now concluded and the results are being evaluated. The evaluation will consider outcomes, learning and positive practice from across all pilot sites and will be measured against the impact they have had on violence and/or self-harm.</p><p>The evaluation will be completed by the end of March 2024. This evaluation will enable us to make informed recommendations on future shaving provision in prison establishments.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 21/03/2024 13:38:05 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2024 answer text <p>The Adventure Activities Licensing Regulations 2004 require persons providing facilities for adventure activities in return for payment to hold a licence granted by the licensing authority in accordance with the regulations. Persons are not required to hold a licence where facilities are provided by a voluntary association to its members or members of other voluntary associations by agreement between the associations. Since 2007 the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has been the licensing authority for the regulations.</p><p> </p><p>In 2018 HSE consulted stakeholders as part of a review of the delivery and scope of adventure activity licensing. In preparation for that consultation HSE considered and decided against extending licensing to include exempt persons such as voluntary organisations. This was on the basis that:</p><ol><li>The financial burden on schools, local authorities and voluntary organisations would have created a risk that services would be cut thereby reducing provision of adventure activities for young people which would have been contrary to the purpose of the review.</li><li>The inspectorate at the time would not have been able to cope with the demand for licenses such a change would have created.</li></ol> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 18/03/2024 17:09:56 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
