question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many people in Wallasey have been furloughed through the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme in each month since the introduction of that scheme.
tabling member constituency	Wallasey

uin	100298
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2020 answer text <p>It is not possible to answer directly the question as data on the number of people furloughed whose jobs have been supported by the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme (CJRS) is not available. However, data is available for the number of employments furloughed with the support of the CJRS (a person may have multiple employments). Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) published statistics about the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme on 21 August 2020, which can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-august-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-august-2020</a>.</p><p> </p><p>These statistics are the latest available to include figures for the number of jobs furloughed in local areas, and include the total number of jobs furloughed at any time in the Wallasey constituency. They also include figures for the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral. The number of jobs furloughed by Parliamentary constituency is not available for each month. The production of the figures depends on the matching of employment level CJRS data to other data held by HMRC. For records where this has been possible, the release reports that a cumulative total of 11,200 jobs had been furloughed under CJRS for employees living in Wallasey. This figure is based on claims received to 31 July and covers all jobs supported by the CJRS up to the end of June (when the scheme closed to claims for employments not already furloughed).</p><p> </p><p>The next release of these statistics will provide data on the number of jobs furloughed by Parliamentary constituency at 31 August. This is due to be published on 22 October. More information on this release can be found here:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-october-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/announcements/coronavirus-job-retention-scheme-statistics-october-2020</a>.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 12/10/2020 16:23:01 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2019 answer text <p>The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) checks the security of loads on heavy goods vehicles (HGV) during roadside encounters as part of its enforcement duties, although the responsibility for making sure the load a HGV is carrying is secure before driving rests with the driver and operator.</p><p> </p><p>If the DVSA finds a HGV’s load is unsafe during a roadside encounter, the DVSA (or the police) can take enforcement action. This can result in either penalty points, legal proceedings being issued or a report being sent to the Traffic Commissioner (TC). After consideration of a report from the DVSA, the TC may take regulatory action for failure to comply with the undertaking of an operator’s licence. Disciplinary action can include suspension, curtailment or revocation of an operator licence.</p><p> </p><p>Drivers must conduct a daily walk round of their vehicle before starting a journey. They must also check any load is secure. These requirements are covered within the DVSA’s ‘Guide to maintaining roadworthiness’ which provides useful diagrams to fully explain drivers’ responsibilities and what should be checked during an effective walk round check.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/05/2019 09:50:30 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
