answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>DFID already releases funding to local and national actors in humanitarian crises in line with the objectives in the Grand Bargain. In specific terms DFID continues to fund the START Fund, the Humanitarian Leadership Academy and the Disasters and Emergencies Preparedness Programme (DEPP) as part of its Grand Bargain commitments.</p><p>DFID is closely following the Grand Bargain workstream on localisation, led by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Swiss government. Currently discussions are ongoing on how best to track this commitment. Once an approach has been agreed, it is likely that an international mechanism will be used for assessing the commitment e.g. OCHA’s Financial Tracking System, which applies to all donors, not just the UK.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 30/11/2017 14:26:51 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/11/2017 answer text <p>The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) has committed to provide survivors from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk with a permanent new home in social housing within one year of the fire. We are working closely with RBKC to support them to deliver this commitment, and receive regular updates on rehousing progress, which we continue to monitor carefully.</p><p>Following the fire, the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government set up the independent Grenfell Recovery Taskforce to provide assurance that RBKC has the capacity and capability to deliver an effective long term recovery plan for its residents, taking into account their views. In his statement to the House on 6 November, the Secretary of State echoed the conclusion of the Taskforce’s first report that the pace of delivery by RBKC was too slow and needed significant improvement. I expect the Council to do whatever is necessary to ensure households can move into settled homes as swiftly as possible. It is important that the rehousing proceeds at a pace which respects the needs, wants and situations of survivors but we have been equally clear that bureaucratic inertia must not add delay.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 30/11/2017 16:23:07 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
