answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>The UK delegation to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) was led by Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon. Officials from FCDO and the Cabinet Office were also part of the delegation. The UK does not include civil society and youth representatives on the delegation, instead we hold regular briefing sessions with them to keep them updated. The relationship that the Government delegation has with civil society representatives at CSW is often held up as a model of good practice.</p><p>Some other visitors to CSW from the UK are allowed to attend and are thus provided with delegate passes for the purpose of access to the UN building. This year this included a number of parliamentarians, a civil society speaker at one of our side events and a UN Women Youth delegate. We do not, though, consider them members of the official HMG delegation.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 30/03/2023 10:22:20 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/03/2023 answer text <p>We will not be submitting a report to the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women this year.

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government why they made provision for an 18-month relaxation period in relation to non-combustible cavity barriers in external walls of buildings when making the Building etc. (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2022 (SI 2022/603) and publishing the Approved Document B 2019 edition incorporating 2020 and 2022 amendments, given that at the date of laying the regulations there were suitable non-combustible products readily available.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2023 answer text <p>On 1 June 2022, the Government published a response to a consultation following the review of the ban of combustible materials in and on the external walls of buildings. The consultation proposed a temporary 18-month relaxation of the ban as it relates to cavity trays. This followed from issues highlighted to officials on the excessive cost, supply (including of trained professional able to install these products) and installation of products on the market at the time. At the time we brought in the changes we considered it appropriate, on balance, to allow for a short-term exemption for combustible cavity trays as the risk they pose remains relatively low while providing temporary flexibility.</p><p>The consultation response is available <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-the-ban-on-the-use-of-combustible-materials-in-and-on-the-external-walls-of-buildings/outcome/government-response-review-of-the-ban-on-the-use-of-combustible-materials-in-and-on-the-external-walls-of-buildings" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>We will continue to review the impact of the ban including this short-term exemption and to work with industry to understand new products available on the market.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 03/04/2023 14:48:41 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook attachment 1 file name Consultation response.docx title Consultation response

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what is the impact of defining 'defect' in the Developer Remediation Contract, published on 17 February, differently from 'relevant defect', in the Building Safety Act 2022; and what effect this will have on ensuring buildings are adequately remediated.

uin	HL6638
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2023 answer text <p>The definition of 'Defect' in the developer remediation contract and the definition of 'Relevant Defect' in the Building Safety Act were drafted for different purposes.</p><p>The definition of 'Relevant Defect' in the Building Safety Act 2022 is used in relation to a wider range of actors, defect types and circumstances.</p><p>The definition of 'Defect' in the developer remediation contract was drafted to match the wording of a public pledge signed by 49 developers. Under the developer pledge and the contract which codifies the pledge commitments, developers commit to addressing life-critical fire safety defects arising from the original design, construction or refurbishment of the building, and to do so in line with relevant standards.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 31/03/2023 12:58:00 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook
