answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>Public Health England (PHE) is not a statutory consultee under the planning regime. Local authority planners should consider consulting the Director of Public Health on any planning applications (including at the pre-application stage) that are likely to have a significant impact on the health and wellbeing of the local population or particular groups within it. This guidance can be viewed at the following links:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters#Statutory-consultees-on-applications" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/consultation-and-pre-decision-matters#Statutory-consultees-on-applications</a></p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/health-and-wellbeing#health-organisation-contact" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/guidance/health-and-wellbeing#health-organisation-contact</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Where consulted on planning applications, PHE takes the view that emissions from such plants are best considered as part of the associated environmental permit application. PHE is consulted by the Environment Agency and provides an independent opinion on all bespoke environmental permit applications, such as municipal waste incinerators, with regard to public health impacts. These assessments cover a range of emissions to air, water and land, including but not exclusively particulate matter.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2019 answer text <p>There are over one million visitors to Parliament each year. Visitors access the estate for many reasons. These include: to meet with a Member or a member of staff; to attend a Member-sponsored meeting or meetings at official level; to give evidence to a Committee; to lobby; to attend debates in both Houses (in the Chambers and Committees); to attend functions and banqueting events; to take a tour (both paid-for and democratic free tours); or as part of an Education Service visit. Many visits do not need to be pre-booked. In order to promote open access to Parliament controls are kept proportionate to the security risk. Photo identification by visitors is not currently deemed proportionate and if introduced would need to be verified, significantly delaying the admission of visitors to Parliament and resulting in lengthy queues at peak times.</p><p>All non-passholders are subject to search and screening measures before entering the estate. The Parliamentary Security Department do not comment publicly on the details of security measures.</p><p>The Director of Security for Parliament is content to meet with any members who wish to discuss specific concerns.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 07/02/2019 12:41:04 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith
