answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting families. To achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Ministers. The Ministry of Justice does not collect information on the number of Family Test assessments completed. There is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 07/11/2018 12:39:31 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

In order to achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Ministers.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of BEIS policy areas do not have a direct impact on the formation, make-up, or breakdown of families. However, where these impacts are relevant, the Family Test is applied to policy changes in a proportionate manner. Officials leading directly on the policy development are responsible for undertaking this analysis, and for advising Ministers on these impacts.</p><p> </p><p>When applicable, analysis on family impacts is included within impact assessments, which are publically available. This analysis is usually qualitative in nature, as it is difficult to make quantitative estimates on the impacts from policy changes. Following implementation of the policy, BEIS monitors and reviews its impacts in a proportionate manner.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 08/11/2018 16:07:39 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

The temporary fire doors needed to be installed to ensure mitigation to Fire Life Safety non-compliance. The floor springs and hinges of the original doors had deteriorated to the extent that it was not possible to ensure compliance. Work had to be undertaken requiring their removal and replacement with temporary fire doors.</p><p>Consideration was given to disabled users; the temporary doors are in excess of current part M Building Regulations, requiring minimum 800mm width doors, as 830mm wide doors have been installed which fully comply with both Part M (access) and Part B (fire) requirements. The original doors will be returned from mid-November to the end of November.</p> answering member printed Lord Laming question first answered 07/11/2018 16:54:53 answering member 2079 label Biography information for Lord Laming

uin	HL10983
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chairman of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. The existing doors’ apertures are not large enough to accommodate temporary frames and temporary double leaf fire doors. The cost of providing temporary double leaf doors is considerably more expensive than single doors and the lead time for double leaf doors would delay the programme; the cost and delay would increase further for doors with double swing frames. The installed temporary glass panels are compatible with certified British Standards and Building Regulations standards for disabled access/visibility in that they allow wheelchair to wheelchair visibility through the glass.</p><p>No consideration has been given to replace the temporary doors given the deadline to achieve life safety compliance, compliance with British Standards and Building Regulations, and the additional cost of replacement. The original doors will be returned between mid-November and the end of November.</p> answering member printed Lord Laming question first answered 07/11/2018 16:55:31 answering member 2079 label Biography information for Lord Laming

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2018 answer text <p>The Senior Deputy Speaker has asked me, as Chairman of the Services Committee, to respond on his behalf. To fabricate temporary doors more in keeping with the original doors would be extremely costly and would delay the programme well beyond the compliance deadline date.  Such a door would require the alteration of the original frame which would not be permitted under current listed building permissions.</p><p>No consideration has been given to replace the temporary doors given the deadline to achieve life safety compliance, compliance with British Standards and Building Regulations, and the additional cost of replacement.

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Henley on 23 October (HL10458), what is their definition of “stakeholders that represent users”; and whether there are safeguards to ensure that the interest represented is in the public interest and not the proprietary interests of the fund management industry or corporate management more generally.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/11/2018 answer text <p>The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) does not have a specific definition of stakeholders that represent users of accounts. However, as explained in the answer I gave to Question HL10458, our aim at every step of policy development is to take account of the views of a wide range of stakeholders, not just those of users of accounts. This ensures that we arrive at a balanced view of policy which takes into account the wider UK public interest.</p> answering member printed Lord Henley question first answered 01/11/2018 17:00:32 answering member 2616 label Biography information for Lord Henley

uin	HL10988
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2018 answer text <p>The Homelessness Reduction Act changes the response of local authorities to homelessness from crisis intervention to prevention, ensuring that both a wider group of people receive support and that everyone receives support at an earlier stage. Already, people are being referred by prisons for homelessness support before they leave custody through the Duty to Refer, which came into effect on 1 October. We are aiming to publish the first set of statistics collected since the commencement of the act in December.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 05/11/2018 13:28:00 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
