answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>Fire and rescue authorities have responsibility for enforcing compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies to non-domestic premises, including the parts of multi-occupied residential buildings used in common by the occupants of more than one dwelling. The Fire and Rescue National Framework for England requires each authority to have a risk-based inspection programme in place to ensure compliance with the Fire Safety Order in its area.</p><p>Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire &amp; Rescue Services (HMICFRS) will, as part of its inspection programme, include an assessment of how effective fire and rescue services in England are at protecting the public through the regulation of fire safety. One factor the Inspectorate will consider is the extent to which systematic, consistent and robust fire safety audits are undertaken. The first tranche of inspection reports, covering 14 fire and rescue services, is due to be published in December.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 29/11/2018 17:01:54 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2018 answer text <p>Drugs are controlled where there is scientific and medical evidence that they are harmful to health and society. The possession of any amount of a controlled drug is a criminal offence and the supply of a controlled drug is an even more serious offence. No illegal drug taking can be assumed to be safe and there is no safe way to take them.</p><p>The Government’s approach remains clear: we must prevent illicit drug use in our communities and help those dependent on drugs to recover while ensuring our drug laws are enforced. In relation to drug testing at events, chief constables are responsible for operational decisions in their local area and we are not standing in their way.</p><p>The National Policing Lead for Drugs provided updated advice in the summer to all Chief Constables to make them aware of matters that they should consider if working with event organisers who may wish to use drug testing services. He is currently considering this issue further in conjunction with forces.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 29/11/2018 17:18:25 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
