answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2018 answer text <p>The effects of modern municipal waste incinerators on human health were reviewed by the Health Protection Agency, whose functions were transferred to Public Health England (PHE) on 1 April 2013. The report, published in September 2009, concluded “Modern, well managed incinerators make only a small contribution to local concentrations of air pollutants. It is possible that such small additions could have an impact on health but such effects, if they exist, are likely to be very small and not detectable.”</p><p> </p><p>PHE will review its advice in light of new substantial research on the health effects of incinerators published in peer reviewed journals. To date, PHE is not aware of any evidence that requires a change in their position statement.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 20/11/2018 11:29:25 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine

For Carers on Universal Credit who carry out caring duties under 35 hours a week they will be subject to mandatory interventions. These interventions will vary in frequency taking into account their household circumstances.</p><p> </p><p>Carers on Income Support have a mandatory intervention every three years which is a work focussed intervention with a work coach. Where a carer has agreed to undertake some work focussed activity, then DWP will offer appropriate interventions to help them get back to work.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The Government is committed to addressing the gender pay gap. Evidence shows that one of the main drivers of the gender pay gap is the time taken out of the labour market by women to care for others.</p><p>This Government has increased funded childcare provision and introduced flexible working and Shared Parental Leave policies to help men and women share caring responsibilities more equally. We have also invested £3.1m in research to help employers understand what works to close their gender pay gaps.</p><p>In 2017, we committed £5 million to support people to return to paid work in the public and private sector. These returner programmes will support carers who have taken an extended career break. The Government has also published best practice guidance to help employers of all sizes and across sectors to increase the quantity and quality of work opportunities they offer returners.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 16/10/2018 13:49:21 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
