answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2018 answer text <p>European Union (EU) laws governing state aid do not apply to activity conducted outside the boundaries of the EU, however, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) makes no such distinction and treats all bidders who participate in its competitions equally.</p><p>State aid is generally prohibited under the Treaty of the Functioning of the EU, apart from under a few specific exemptions stipulated by legislation. Under EU and UK law, the mechanism available to the MOD for addressing state aid concerns is through the concept of an abnormally low tender, related to a specific competitive procurement. The MOD has the right to reject a tender if a grant of aid was not in accordance with EU and UK law.</p><p>The MOD takes open competition very seriously and is confident in the measures in place to ensure that the Fleet Solid Support ships' competitive process is conducted strictly in accordance with the EU regulations on state aid.</p> answering member constituency Aberconwy answering member printed Guto Bebb question first answered 19/06/2018 15:01:33 answering member 3910 label Biography information for Guto Bebb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has already provided £15m funding for Network Rail to undertake development work on schemes to improve the resilience of the line through Dawlish and Teignmouth, in addition to the £40m spent by Network Rail to repair the damage caused by the 2014 storm. This is a highly unique and complex terrain and in order to deliver the best solution it is critical that the resilience study is comprehensive. The development work encompassing ground investigations, option selection and outline design is expected to be complete in 2019. A decision about the next phase of work and the funding for that can then be made.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 11/06/2018 16:40:50 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2018 answer text <p>On 16 May the government announced that it will fully fund the removal and replacement of potentially dangerous ACM cladding on residential social housing buildings, which are over 18 metres tall and owned by social landlords. This commitment is estimated to cost £400 million.</p><p> </p><p>In the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy, the government also established a comprehensive building safety programme and made it clear that aluminium composite material (ACM) cladding on buildings over 18 meters which was not compliant with building regulations guidance should be remediated by the building owners. The government has provided £1m in financial support to help local authorities identify high-rise private residential buildings with unsafe cladding. This work will ensure that hazards in high rise residential buildings are addressed and the government continues to work closely with local authorities, building owners and leaseholder groups to establish what more can be done.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride grouped question UIN 149093 question first answered 11/06/2018 16:22:30 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
