answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2016 answer text <p>Matters of recruitment are for individual fire and rescue authorities as employers. However, Ministers have been clear that payments for senior fire officers who return to employment immediately after retirement are an unacceptable use of taxpayers’ money, especially when fire authorities need to be making sensible savings.</p><p>That is why this Government has issued explicit guidance on the re-employment of senior staff who have previously been in receipt of a redundancy or severance payment, or who are in receipt of a local government or fire service pension. Fire and rescue authorities have the ability to deal with this problem and should do so. The public have a right to know when, and on what basis, these decisions have been made, and we have made provision for this.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 15/04/2016 13:16:30 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2016 answer text <p>The Government has spent £2.6 million on flood risk management capital and maintenance works in Corby and East Northamptonshire between 2011/12 to 2015/16. This figure is combined, as the funding is allocated to, and work undertaken in, ‘Flood Risk Management Systems’. These systems relate to the watercourses in these areas and the consequences of flooding, rather than to political boundaries. For example, the river Harpers Brook flows in and out of both Corby and East Northamptonshire several times and so the funding for these areas is combined.</p><p> </p><p>Maintenance works include routine maintenance, such as blockage removal, and incident management response during a flood. Capital works include capital project work, including studies, refurbishment and improvement works.</p><p> </p><p>In accordance with data retention rules, the Environment Agency does not hold financial records for more than five years.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Penrith and The Border answering member printed Rory Stewart question first answered 15/04/2016 12:40:02 answering member 4137 label Biography information for Rory Stewart

This will promote concerted, coordinated and effective actions to reduce litter and littering on land, which in turn should lead to a reduction in the amount of litter reaching the marine environment, including our beaches.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 15/04/2016 09:29:09 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
