question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to involve civil society in the development of successful integration (1) under the five integration areas outlined in the Integration Area Programme, and (2) more generally.
tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL901
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/02/2020 answer text <p>The work of civil society partners is integral to the positive work my department leads to build thriving, integrated communities in places across the country. Listening to, and acting on, what local voices can tell us about their place and their lives is at the heart of this government’s approach to tackling the complex reasons why some groups do less well at school, earn less at work, or are more likely to be victims of crime. MHCLG’s Integration Area programme is a good example of this. Each Integration Area has created a Local Integration Partnership, with membership drawn from local businesses, charities, faith organisations and many others who possess the experience, expertise and understanding of the whole community in their place. This enables the areas to build in representation from all communities and sectors – including across the civil society landscape - and ensure everyone who wants to, is able to input on the ambitious local integration strategies and other work being developed through this innovative programme.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 10/02/2020 16:57:35 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL841
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2020 answer text <p>Building owners are responsible for building safety. The Government has worked closely with local authorities and Fire and Rescue Services to ensure that interim safety measures are in place in all high-rise student accommodation buildings with unsafe ACM cladding, until the cladding is replaced. We have regular engagement with a named contact from each building to ensure progress with remediation is being made. Further delay from building owners is unacceptable and their buildings must be made safe as soon as possible . Where building owners are failing to make acceptable progress, those responsible should expect further action to be taken – including naming and shaming and enforcement.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 11/02/2020 17:07:57 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

question text	Her Majesty's Government what additional action is being taken to alert customers of hotels with Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding which do not comply with building regulation requirements of the ACM cladding on any such hotel.
tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL675
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 (the “Fire Safety Order”), responsible persons for hotels must ensure that they have completed a fire risk assessment and that it is regularly reviewed to ensure that the fire safety measures in place remain appropriate and are being adequately maintained. This includes assessing and where appropriate, taking the necessary steps to reduce the risk on the external walls which may include cladding.</p><p>All hotels that have confirmed ACM cladding have been visited by the local fire and rescue service to ensure that the appropriate risk mitigation measures are in place. Hotels will have a range of comprehensive fire safety measures which may include a 24-hour concierge, simultaneous fire evacuation strategy and a fully functioning alarm system. If hotels do not have sufficient mitigating measures, the fire and rescue service has the power to take appropriate enforcement action.</p><p>The Department continues to work with the Home Office and National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) to ensure correct fire safety arrangements are in place on all high-rise hotels to mitigate risks and to ensure remediation is taking place.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 03/02/2020 17:00:36 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

question text	Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 13 January (HL292), when the removal and replacement of Aluminium Composite Material cladding will be completed.
tabling member printed	Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
uin	HL676
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>It is important to recognise remediation work cannot be done overnight – and it must be done properly. The time to complete works varies considerably depending on factors such as structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems. For many buildings this is a complex job involving major construction work.</p><p>The £600 million which the Government has committed to remediate high-rise buildings with unsafe ACM cladding removes the biggest blocker to pace of remediation. Further delay from building owners is unacceptable and their buildings must be made safe as soon as possible. From next month, those responsible for buildings will be named where remediation has not started, and only be removed from the public list when it has. The Department will also be working with the relevant local authorities to support enforcement where necessary.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 03/02/2020 17:01:09 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

In Yorkshire we are pleased to see recent progress the Mayor and leaders of the Sheffield City Region are making towards getting their devolution deal over the line with the benefits that will bring for people across South Yorkshire, including £30 million annually of investment funds. We are also proceeding with negotiations for a devolution deal with a Mayor for Leeds and West Yorkshire, and other areas of Yorkshire are discussing devolution with us.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 28/01/2020 17:06:39 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

uin	HL385
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/01/2020 answer text <p>The Government takes all forms of hate crime, including that directed towards Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities, very seriously. We have one the strongest legislative frameworks in the world to protect all communities from hostility, violence and bigotry, and to deal with the perpetrators of hate crime. We have asked the Law Commission to undertake a full review of the coverage and approach of current hate crime legislative provisions. This will include a review of the existing range of protected characteristics, including race. The commission is due to open a public consultation in early 2020.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 20/01/2020 16:28:42 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
