answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/07/2019 answer text <p>Following the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017, the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) published comprehensive guidance for buildings, such as those with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding, on what arrangements and interim measures should be established where “stay put” has been suspended. The NFCC carefully reviewed its guidance and reaffirmed the principle of “stay put” where it is appropriate. Its statement on this can be viewed at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationalfirechiefs.org.uk%2FStay-Put-position&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCarl.Sherwood%40communities.gov.uk%7C1f2ceea646b040295fdb08d7090e1ea9%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C636987828552863061&amp;sdata=rE9DxSnu0oWkeOVvPzNbJSa%2FnTZOsBW5rs0I7yLVYGc%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">http://www.nationalfirechiefs.org.uk/Stay-Put-position</a>.</p><p>Building Regulation guidance, Approved Document B (Fire safety) has been clarified to make clear the principles which underpin guidance on the stay-put strategy adopted within blocks of flats. This is available on-line at <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fuploads%2Fsystem%2Fuploads%2Fattachment_data%2Ffile%2F814934%2FApproved_Document_B__fire_safety__volume_1_dwellinghouses_2019.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCarl.Sherwood%40communities.gov.uk%7C1f2ceea646b040295fdb08d7090e1ea9%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C636987828552863061&amp;sdata=k4l4uRCDbVcZAhJQqAcR8f0uoQW%2BEpiL%2BvRZjueW6jo%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/814934/Approved_Document_B__fire_safety__volume_1_dwellinghouses_2019.pdf</a>.</p><p>However, the Government recognises that questions have been raised about means of escape from blocks of flats and we have commenced a technical review of Building Regulation guidance through a call for evidence on 18 December 2018. This call for evidence identified topics which were candidates for inclusion in the review of Approved Document B (Fire Safety). One of the topics was means of escape in blocks of flats, including the stay-put approach. The call for evidence closed on 15 March 2019 and the Department is in the process of reviewing the evidence provided.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/07/2019 15:55:01 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

tabling member constituency	Hemsworth
tabling member printed	Jon Trickett
uin	272762
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2019 answer text <p>The Department has not made an assessment of unpaid overtime. The Department has a number of policies in place to recognise the occasional circumstances in which staff might work more than their conditioned hours. These include the flexi-credit system in which staff can accrue flexi hours to allow time off at a later point should they choose to enrol in the flexi policy. They also have the chance to take TOIL (time off in lieu) for any additional time worked. Approved overtime is agreed with managers in advance and remunerated in line with our overtime policy.</p><p>The Department ensures that the requirements of the Working Time Regulations of 1998 as regards civil service working hours are adhered to and has a commitment to the well-being of our staff which aims to ensure that everyone has a good work/life balance. We want to create a working environment that allows people to flourish and thrive through positive, supportive relationships which recognise the importance of individual wellbeing, and how this may be affected by working patterns and practices. The commitment of our SCS cadre to the wellbeing of their staff is demonstrated by the fact that 85 per cent have completed the Wellbeing Confident Leadership Training.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 12/07/2019 12:20:28 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry
