We acknowledge that ensuring that there are sufficient numbers of properly skilled workers across the sector will require continued investment and support from Industry.</p><p>Defence is working closely with other Government Departments and industry to develop and reinvigorate the pipeline of skills for shipbuilding in the UK and to improve the industry's productivity and competitiveness. In September, the Prime Minister appointed the Defence Secretary the Shipbuilding Tsar for this Government to better realise the potential that this sector can offer across the four Home Nations and to strengthen UK shipbuilding.</p> answering member constituency Berwick-upon-Tweed answering member printed Anne-Marie Trevelyan question first answered 17/10/2019 14:34:44 answering member 4531 label Biography information for Anne-Marie Trevelyan

The reasonableness of the service charge a social housing landlord is seeking will depend on the nature of the works required and other contributing factors.</p><p>Social housing tenants have the ability to apply to the Property Chamber of the First-tier Tribunal for a determination where they do not believe the charges are reasonable, and must be consulted when major works are being proposed.</p><p>For those in Affordable Rent properties the calculation of their gross rent includes service charges. Gross rent for these properties is capped at 80 per cent of market rent.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey grouped question UIN 96 question first answered 13/01/2020 15:46:32 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
