question text	To ask the Senior Deputy Speaker, following the professional and technical advice received by both Houses that a partial decant is both more risky and expensive than a full decant, why a partial decant is still being considered as an option for Restoration and Renewal of the Palace of Westminster.
tabling member printed	Earl Attlee
uin	HL458
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>In July 2023 the Restoration and Renewal (R&amp;R) Client Board endorsed the R&amp;R Programme Board’s recommended shortlist of R&amp;R delivery options. This included a “full decant” option where both Houses move out of the Palace at the same time (with the Commons prioritised for earlier return) and an option whereby the House of Commons would maintain a “continued presence” in varying locations in the Palace during the works and the House of Lords would move out of the Palace. The Client Board has also requested that a fallback option of enhanced maintenance and improvement forms part of further detailed design work on these options to inform a decision on the preferred way forward in due course, currently expected in 2025.</p><p>The Client Board considered it important that more than one option should be subject to further detailed design work and analysis in order to meet the spirit of the new mandate for R&amp;R agreed by both Houses last year and to reflect that members of both Houses have differing views about how the programme can best be delivered.</p> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 29/11/2023 17:55:12 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble

uin	HL458
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2021 answer text <p>Kickstart jobs are categorised into broad sectors when vacancies details are made available for work coaches to encourage young people to apply for them. The sector category relates to the job type, rather than the nature of the main activities undertaken by the employer. This means for example, that an administrative job within an oil company would be categorised as ‘administrative’, rather than ‘oil &amp; gas’.</p><p> </p><p>A breakdown of jobs started and made available by sector, this could include any jobs with Oil and Gas employers, is available here: <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-05-20/hl457" target="_blank">https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2021-05-20/hl457</a></p><p>As of 20<sup>th</sup> May, almost 8,000 Kickstart Scheme applications from employers and Gateways (each representing a number of employers) had been approved. To establish which employers associated with the Oil and Gas industry have approved Kickstart jobs would require reviewing all these approved applications to consider the principal activities of each employer, this information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>Although care is taken when processing and analysing Kickstart applications, referrals and starts, the data collected might be subject to the inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale recording system which has been developed quickly. The management information presented here has not been subjected to the usual standard of quality assurance associated with official statistics, but is provided in the interests of transparency. Work is ongoing to improve the quality of information available for the programme.</p> answering member printed Baroness Stedman-Scott question first answered 04/06/2021 13:56:47 answering member 4174 label Biography information for Baroness Stedman-Scott
