answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is supportive of the work of Be Real, and provided initial funding to launch its website. Caroline Dinenage, the previous Minister for Women and Equalities, met with Be Real following the launch of their toolkit, to thank them for their important work and discuss how we can best support young people’s body image.</p><p> </p><p>In 2015 the Government funded the PSHE Association to develop and publish key standards on teaching about body image in schools, which I referred to in my previous answer. That includes a list of resources on body image that have been accredited by the PSHE Association, and the Be Real body confidence toolkit has received that accreditation and so is included within the key standards resource. The PSHE Association is a trusted source for teachers and schools, and I am confident that this is an important way to support the promotion of the Be Real resource to schools.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 19/07/2017 16:07:42 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government Equalities Office (GEO) continues to address the important issue of body image as part of its work to support young people’s media literacy, resilience, healthy relationships and healthy self-image. In 2015, the GEO funded the PSHE Association to develop key standards on teaching about body image in schools, and this resource has been used and valued by many teachers. It has been updated and is still available on the PSHE Association website.</p><p>The GEO also funded Media Smart, the advertising industry’s educational charity, to develop film-based resources for pupils in Key Stage 2 on the issue of body image in advertising. This resource was launched in 2016 and continues to be used and valued within schools.</p><p>The GEO has also addressed concerns about the very low weight of some fashion models. The previous Minister for Women and Equalities, Caroline Dinenage, hosted a roundtable for fashion models to hear their experience and concerns, and met with the British Fashion Council (BFC) to discuss what could be done to support models’ health and wellbeing. As a consequence, the BFC developed improved advice for models and agencies which is available on its website. The BFC also runs The Model Zone as a part of London Fashion Week, to support models’ wellbeing.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 18/07/2017 14:26:17 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	Her Majesty's Government what are the (1) minimum and (2) maximum level of fines that will be applicable for the reporting of misleading, false or deceptive payment practices and performance as established by the Reporting on Payment Practices and Performance Regulations 2017 No. 395, and what other disciplinary action will be taken or recommended against relevant firms and individual persons.
tabling member printed	Lord Mendelsohn
uin	HL395
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>In England and Wales, there is no minimum, and no maximum level of fine which would be due on conviction of reporting misleading, false or deceptive payment practices or performance under the Regulations. This reflects the changes to maximum fines which may be imposed on summary conviction in England and Wales under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012. In Scotland and Northern Ireland, fines cannot exceed Level 5 of the Standard Scale. The Government has no plans to take or recommend other disciplinary action against firms or individual persons.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 13/07/2017 10:57:46 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton

uin	HL50
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2017 answer text <p>The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 applies to houses or flats where the premises are not occupied as a private dwelling – this would include properties which offer holiday or short term accommodation to paying guests. In the case of Airbnb and other similar web-based accommodation providers, we consider the Order would apply during the period where paying guests were staying. That is because, during this period, the property would no longer be occupied as a single private dwelling.</p><p>Under the Order, the responsible person (usually the owner or building manager) is required to undertake a fire risk assessment and put in place fire precautions that are adequate and appropriate to manage the risk that lives could be lost in a fire.</p><p>Fire and rescue authorities are the enforcing authorities for the Fire Safety Order in such accommodation. They are required to have a risk based inspection programme and management strategy in place to ensure compliance with the Fire Safety Order within their area.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL51 question first answered 05/07/2017 12:28:54 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
