answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/06/2020 answer text <p>An employee on a fixed term contract can be re-employed, furloughed and claimed for, if either: their contract expired after 28 February 2020 and an RTI payment submission for the employee was notified to HMRC on or before 28 February 2020, or their contract expired after 19 March 2020 and an RTI payment submission for the employee was notified to HMRC on or before 19 March 2020.

hansard heading	Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme: Public Sector
house id	1
legislature	25259 pref label House of Commons
question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether public sector employees under PAYE on zero-hours contracts are eligible for the Government’s Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in the event that those employees are unable to be redeployed.
tabling member constituency	Worthing West
tabling member printed	Sir Peter Bottomley
uin	41371
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/05/2020 answer text <p>The Government expects that the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme will not be used by many public sector organisations, as most public sector employees are continuing to provide essential public services or contributing to the response to the coronavirus outbreak. Where employers receive public funding for staff costs, and that funding is continuing, the Government expect employers to use that money to continue to pay staff in the usual fashion, and correspondingly not furlough them. This also applies to non-public sector employers who receive public funding for staff costs. Organisations who are receiving public funding specifically to provide services necessary to respond to COVID-19 are not expected to furlough staff. In a small number of cases, for example where organisations are not primarily funded by the Government and whose staff cannot be redeployed to assist with the coronavirus response, the scheme may be appropriate for some staff. Employees on any type of employment contract are eligible for the scheme, including those on zero-hours contracts.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/05/2020 16:39:36 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2018 answer text <p>UK casualty data regarding pedestrians and cyclists were used in the European project, “Assessment methodologies for forward looking Integrated Pedestrian and further extension to Cyclists Safety Systems”(AsPeCSS - 2014). It estimated that first generation AEBS could reduce pedestrian fatalities by 6% and serious injuries by 4% when assessed against a baseline of no AEBS. Estimates for second generation systems, with greater pedestrian recognition capability, indicated a reduction of fatal and serious injuries of 14% and 9% respectively.</p><p> </p><p>The capability of AEBS to reduce cycle casualties was assessed but, due to the less mature state of the technology, the benefits could not be quantified in such clear terms.</p><p> </p><p>This study does not provide a breakdown by casualty and by vehicle type.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 09/02/2018 11:04:29 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
