answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government's assessment of Daesh has not changed significantly since my right hon. Friend the Defence Secretary's statement to the House on 11 July 2018 (Official Report, column 973). The Coalition continues to target Daesh in the final pocket of territory they hold in north east Syria, which is approximately 1% of the territory they once held across both Iraq and Syria. Loss of territory has reduced their access to resources but Daesh remain a significant threat, including to Iraq from over the border with Syria. Through Coalition efforts, Daesh has lost thousands of personnel, but significant numbers of Daesh fighters remain in Syria and Iraq as well as in the surrounding region.</p><p>Daesh's intent remains to strike the West and Western interests. There remains a significant threat to our interests from Daesh's affiliates. The Government therefore continues its counter-Daesh efforts. We will continue to keep the House updated on the progress of the counter-Daesh campaign.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 25/10/2018 15:03:45 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, at what level within the duty holder concept does authority rest for the (a) cancellation and (b) rescheduling of a selection (i) recruitment and (ii) training event in the event of (A) adverse and (B) extreme weather conditions.
tabling member constituency	Bridgend
tabling member printed	Mrs Madeleine Moon
uin	181204
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2018 answer text <p>The authority to cancel or reschedule a recruitment or training event sits at all levels of the Duty Holder Concept. This empowers the Delivery Duty Holder, at the lowest level of the construct, to cancel or reschedule if they are not able to keep risk as low as reasonably practicable. In cases where there is an imperative to run an event, which is unlikely to be the case for recruitment/selection activities, decision making may be escalated to the next levels of the Duty Holder Concept to consider the risk and provide additional senior guidance and/or resources to mitigate any safety shortfalls, or confirm cancellation.</p><p> </p><p>The Delivery Duty Holder may not always be the person directly responsible for an event. As a result there is also a Duty of Care process which ensures that those responsible for the running of an event are still empowered with the authority to stop that activity until it is safe to proceed.</p><p> </p><p>The information on cancellation of events is not held centrally in the format requested. In line with the Duty Holder Concept, events will be adapted (e.g. location or dates changed to mitigate risks) or cancelled.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster grouped question UIN 181206 question first answered 26/10/2018 13:47:17 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
