answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>Building owners should do all they can to protect leaseholders from costs arising from fire safety works in buildings clad with potentially unsafe aluminium composite material cladding – either funding it themselves or looking at alternative routes such as insurance claims, warranties or legal action. This could include working with the developer to reach a solution which avoids costs being passed to leaseholders. In the case of Citiscape, the decision to cover costs was made by the original developer, not the current owner. I have also arranged to speak with the agent of Heysmoor Heights’ freeholder regarding the costs of remediation.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 15/05/2018 15:58:52 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab previous answer version 54344 answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

uin	132329
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>Our new criteria for free school meals eligibility will increase the number of children eligible for this vital benefit. We have not made city-level analyses of the effect of the changes. Due to the generous protections we will provide, all children receiving free school meals at the point the threshold is introduced, and all those who gain eligibility as Universal Credit rolls out, will continue to receive free school meals until the end of Universal Credit rollout. After this point, those children who were protected – if they are still in school – will continue to be protected until the end of their phase of education. While we estimate that around 50,000 more children nationally will benefit from our proposals once Universal Credit rollout is complete, many more children again will benefit as a result of our transitional arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 16/03/2018 14:49:03 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

uin	132353
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>UN Security Council Resolution 2401 has still not been implemented due largely to the regime and Russia’s failure to abide by its conditions. Pro-regime forces have continued to bomb Eastern Ghouta. The UN has reported that since 18 February 2018, over 1,100 civilians have been killed and over 4,000 have been injured. Only two humanitarian convoys have been permitted to deliver aid for approximately 54,000 people, a fraction of those in need, and medical supplies were removed from both convoys by the regime. 129 people, including 25 medical cases were evacuated on 13 March but around 1,000 serious medical cases remain. The regime's advance displaced around 12,000 people on 14-15 March. The UK is continuing to exert diplomatic pressure, including through the UN Security Council. On 7 March, the Security Council discussed the situation at the UK and France’s request. On 12 March, the UK organised an informal briefing on the situation of the Security Council by Syrian opposition and humanitarian actors. The Prime Minister spoke to President Trump on 4 March to discuss the appalling situation in Eastern Ghouta and agreed that Russia must use its influence on the regime to cease the campaign of violence.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt question first answered 16/03/2018 14:36:59 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
