uin	88289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2020 answer text <p>Data about suicide rates amongst the general polulation across England and Wales are reported by the Office for National Statistics using information provided to registrars by coroners in their records of inquest. Historically, governments have relied on specific studies relating to the cause of death, including suicide, amongst veterans’ cohorts from specific campaigns, for example the Falklands campaign and the 1990/91 Gulf conflict.</p><p>In order to ensure that the Government has the most up-to-date understanding of the prevalence of suicide in the Armed Forces community, two further studies are being conducted. The first is documenting all causes of death, including suicide, amongst those who have served in the Armed Forces since 2001. This study will continue on an ongoing basis to provide real-time data about causes of death, including suicide, in the Armed Forces community. A second study is looking at the factors in the year leading up to any confirmed suicide in the Armed Forces community in the last five years.</p><p>Whilst these studies will provide updated and improved data about the prevalence of suicide in the veteran community, the importance of this issue means that the Government is committed to exploring other routes, including a potential role for coroners, by which suicide amongst the veteran community could be recorded accurately and consistently so as to help inform improved support and interventions aimed at preventing suicide.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 21/09/2020 16:35:44 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

This House Committee does not constitute a statutory safety committee as set out in Regulation 9 Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regs /Section 2(7) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. This is in line with the fact that health &amp; safety matters within each department’s area of occupancy are a delegated responsibility for the respective department. The Home Office already has a well-established health and safety committee in place for the purposes of ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of all staff and those who interact with our premises</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 16/09/2020 10:58:51 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2020 answer text <p>Consideration has been given to the request made to Defra by the PCS union to form a building-wide health and safety committee for 2 Marsham Street. For the purposes of the Safety Representatives and Safety Committees Regulations 1977 health and safety remains a delegated matter for which each individual departmental employer is responsible.</p><p> </p><p>However, in recognition of Defra’s responsibilities for cooperation and coordination with other employers in shared workplaces, Defra is supportive of trade union health and safety representatives joining the existing 2 Marsham Street joint “House Committee”. We consider this to be a positive step forward in the interest of constructive trade union dialogue in relation to the spaces that are shared between the separate employers based in the building.</p><p> </p><p>I understand that other departments who occupy 2 Marsham Street are also supportive of this approach and the Home Office, who are the lead occupier at 2 Marsham Street, will be working with PCS to take this forward on behalf of all occupants.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 14/09/2020 12:05:54 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
