answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>Automatic enrolment has achieved a quiet revolution through getting employees into the habit of pension saving, and reversing the decline in workplace pension participation in the decade prior to these reforms.

However, we do know that overall around 9% of automatically enrolled workers have chosen to opt out which is significantly below original estimates; and our latest evaluation report shows that, in April 2017, approximately 5.9 million eligible employees were already meeting the April 2019 minimum contribution rates<sup>1</sup>.</p><p> </p><p>I am providing the following information about the impact of automatic enrolment in your constituency, as at end of September 2019<sup>2</sup>:</p><p> </p><p>In the Makerfield constituency since 2012, approximately 5,000 eligible jobholders have been automatically enrolled and 1200 employers have met their duties.</p><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup>Automatic Enrolment Evaluation Report 2018, available via the following weblink: <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/764964/Automatic_Enrolment_Evaluation_Report_2018.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/764964/Automatic_Enrolment_Evaluation_Report_2018.pdf</a>.</p><p> </p><p><sup>2</sup>The Pensions Regulator’s data on Automatic enrolment declaration of compliance by constituency, available via the following weblink:</p><p><a href="https://www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/en/document-library/research-and-analysis/data-requests" target="_blank">https://www.thepensionsregulator.gov.uk/en/document-library/research-and-analysis/data-requests</a></p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 21/10/2019 11:38:48 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman

tabling member constituency	Bassetlaw
tabling member printed	John Mann
uin	602
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The site at Sandy lane was abandoned in October 2016 and from this point onwards there has been no site management. There have however been regular Police and Fire service patrols and the site is monitored using CCTV.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency is working with Local Resilience Forum members, including Bassetlaw District Council, the Nottinghamshire Fire Service, Nottinghamshire County Council and Public Health England, to manage the risks at the site and is acting to clear the waste that also poses a risk to human health.</p><p> </p><p>There are three main waste streams which have been left at the site: mixed non-hazardous combustible waste in and around the transfer building; mixed construction and demolition (C&amp;D) non-combustible waste outside and the bags of polyurethane foam, mostly deposited in the centre of the site. The table below outlines the estimated costs associated with each waste stream. The cost of this clearance, excluding landfill tax have not been included as the landfill tax is not waived, which has been previously communicated by HMT to the HM for Bassetlaw.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Waste</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Estimated quantity (tonnes)</strong><strong><sup>1</sup></strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Estimated Costs in £k (including Landfill Tax)</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Mixed C&amp;D non-combustible</p></td><td><p>20,000</p></td><td><p>3,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Non-Hazardous combustible</p></td><td><p>2,500</p></td><td><p>375</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Polyurethane foam</p></td><td><p>100</p></td><td><p>20</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p><sup>1</sup>The tonnages have been estimated by officers’ observations on site. A more accurate assessment of the volumes of waste present at the site would cost around £5K.</p><p> </p><p>The main environmental and health risk from the site is from the polyurethane foam left on site. The Environment Agency, county and district councils have set funds aside and are making plans to remove this foam as soon as possible.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency has also been working in close partnership with Bassetlaw District Council, Notts Fire &amp; Rescue Service, Police, the County Council and Public Health England, to create a tactical plan which will be implemented in the event of a fire. The Notts Fire &amp; Rescue Service will shortly be entering the site and will attempt to move wastes around the site to allow for fire breaks and better access.</p><p> </p><p>The other environmental risks are in relation to the degradation of the waste. The Environment Agency, Fire and Rescue Service and Bassetlaw DC do have powers to intervene in exceptional circumstances where there is a serious risk to the environment and health.</p><p> </p><p>The Environment Agency is continuing its investigation into the former operators of the site. There is close contact about the site at official level across Government agencies. The Secretary of State has not discussed the site with Cabinet colleagues since his appointment on 11 June.</p> answering member constituency Suffolk Coastal answering member printed Dr Thérèse Coffey grouped question UIN 419 600 601 question first answered 30/06/2017 11:35:48 answering member 4098 label Biography information for Dr Thérèse Coffey
