answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>Shortly after the Grenfell Tower tragedy, we issued guidance on the interim safety measures that should be put in place in high-rise buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding systems. This includes instructions to building owners to communicate with residents and the local fire and rescue service about the safety of their homes and what they should do in the event of a fire.</p><p>All residents of buildings where unsafe ACM cladding systems have been found should have been informed by their landlords about the steps their landlords or building owners are taking to make their buildings safe. We would encourage residents of affected buildings to speak to their building owner about these measures to ensure residents’ safety. Residents should also be aware of what to do in the event of a fire and if they are unsure they should speak to the landlord or freeholder.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 16/07/2018 16:02:22 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/07/2018 answer text <p>The Government does hold the data requested. Domestic abuse is a life-shattering and abhorrent crime that nobody should have to suffer. The Government is committed to protecting victims of domestic abuse, and since 2015 we have provided almost £889,000 to Women’s Aid for two key projects, Routes to Support and No Woman Turned Away. Routes to Support (formerly UK Refuges online) is part-funded by the Government and is a UK-wide online database containing information about domestic abuse and other violence against women services. No Woman Turned Away provides caseworker support to women facing difficulties in accessing refuge. We are continuing to fund these vital projects in 2018/19.</p><p>We are also currently reviewing the provision of domestic abuse services, including refuge, in England. To inform our review, we have commissioned Ipsos MORI to run an audit of domestic abuse service delivery. This will give us a picture of provision across England, enabling us to understand what impact services are having and to identify gaps in provision.</p> answering member constituency Selby and Ainsty answering member printed Nigel Adams question first answered 16/07/2018 15:58:55 answering member 4057 label Biography information for Nigel Adams
