If a person with Autism Spectrum Disorder does not appear to be suffering from a mental disorder and is not in need of care and control, a place of safety as defined in the Mental Health Act 1983 would not be an appropriate environment. In these cases appropriate alternative measures of support should be sought in line with the needs of that individual.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 12/12/2016 16:40:22 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

tabling member constituency	Cardiff West
tabling member printed	Kevin Brennan
uin	21650
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/01/2016 answer text <p>The Hon. Member will be aware that the Prime Minister announced on 5 January 2016 that responsibility for fire policy was being transferred to the Home Secretary with immediate effect. I am, therefore, answering the Hon Member’s question as Fire Minister. As fire is a devolved matter in Wales, my response applies only to England.</p><p>Fire and Rescue Authorities are required to put in place integrated risk management plans, coordinated with the community risk registers produced by Local Resilience Forums. These documents should identify the full range of risks to which fire and rescue services should be able to respond. The effective response of fire and rescue services to the recent flooding demonstrates that the system is working.</p><p>I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those at the frontline involved in that response. The commitment and dedication they showed throughout the Christmas and New Year period in helping communities affected to deal with the largescale flooding and to rebuild their lives afterwards is a demonstration of public service at its very best.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 18/01/2016 17:16:27 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
