question text	Her Majesty's Government how they define, monitor and assess (1) poverty, and (2) the root causes of poverty, in the UK.
tabling member printed	Lord Bird
uin	HL1114
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/08/2017 answer text <p>This Government is committed to an approach that tackles the root causes of poverty and disadvantage. Through <em>Improving Lives: Helping Workless Families</em>, published on 4 April, it published its evidence and analysis on the root causes of disadvantage and the impact they can have on children’s lives. It also set out nine national indicators and underlying measures to track progress in tackling these disadvantages and to drive continued action on improving outcomes for disadvantaged children and families, now and in the future.</p><p>The most commonly used measure of poverty is ‘relative low-income’. Estimates on the number and proportion of people in low income are published annually in the ‘Households Below Average Income’ series. It measures how the incomes of one group compare to median incomes in the UK, with those incomes below 60 per cent of the median classified as being in relative low-income.</p><p>For more details on the definitions of low income please see the latest Households Below Average Income report attached.</p> answering member printed Baroness Buscombe question first answered 03/08/2017 15:42:37 answering member 3349 label Biography information for Baroness Buscombe attachment 1 file name HBAI Report.PDF title HBAI Report

question text	Her Majesty's Government whether they will begin discussions with local authorities on how those authorities should replace any insulation material deemed unsafe with new material that meets both safety and energy conservation standards.
tabling member printed	Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb
uin	HL1153
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/08/2017 answer text <p>Immediately after the Grenfell Tower fire, the Government convened a meeting of independent experts, who advised that the immediate priority was a testing programme on Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding on high-rise residential buildings, which is one element of a wall cladding system. Following further advice from the Independent Expert Advisory Panel, the Government has now commissioned the Building Research Establishment to test different wall cladding systems using three common types of ACM panelling with two commonly used types of insulation. The results will provide further evidence of how some commonly used wall systems using ACM perform in a fire. This evidence will be used to produce further advice to inform building owners’ decisions on whether they need to take any additional action to make their building safe.</p><p>If owners decide, on the basis of professional advice and in light of further tests results, to remove their cladding and / or insulation, then this needs to be properly planned. In these instances it is even more important that building owners implement the interim measures on fire safety that have been set out by the Department on 22 June 2017 to help ensure the safety of residents during that period.</p><p>The Government’s expectation is that landlords will fund measures designed to make a building fire safe, and will draw on their existing resources to do so. Where a local authority has concerns about funding essential fire safety measures, they should approach us as soon as possible to discuss the position. Where works have been advised by local fire services to be essential to ensure the fire safety of a building, we will ensure that current restrictions on the use of financial resources will not prevent them going ahead. This does not include general improvements or enhancements to buildings which go beyond this.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 03/08/2017 14:30:10 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
