	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/07/2019 answer text <p>On 18 July 2019 the Independent Expert Advisory Panel (IAEP) issued an advice note to building owners. In this advice note the IAEP states the following:</p><p> </p><p><em>“The view of the Expert Panel is that the level of risk from unsafe HPL systems is not as high a risk as unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels. Therefore, the Expert Panel remains clear that the immediate removal of unsafe systems using ACM Category 3 panels should be an absolute priority of focus for building owners and the sector, followed by immediate action to remediate unsafe HPL systems. For the avoidance of doubt both the removal of unsafe ACM Category 3 panels and action to remediate unsafe HPL systems should be carried out as soon as possible.”</em></p><p> </p><p>The full advice note is available 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%2F818184%2FAdvice_note_on_use_of_HPL_panels_in_external_wall_systems.pdf&amp;data=02%7C01%7CCharles-Elie.Romeyer%40communities.gov.uk%7C3985d5850bdf4c4a8cc708d70e7ede45%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C636993810367162667&amp;sdata=FT2Xkf%2BNFfUXmD%2F0%2FWdxtvozJg4d3KitxBTL5UxkccY%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/818184/Advice_note_on_use_of_HPL_panels_in_external_wall_systems.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 23/07/2019 15:23:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

This will be used to provide 2,600 beds for rough sleepers and 750 outreach and specialist staff.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 23/07/2019 11:34:34 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
