question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, if he will bring forward legislative proposals to require fire authorities to provide a full pension to fire fighters between the ages of 55 and 60 if they fail a fitness test due to no fault of their own and cannot be employed in another role within the fire service.

uin	227101
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2015 answer text <p>It is not possible to introduce fitness regulations as part of the pension regulations in the absence of an agreed and universally applied national firefighter fitness standard in England. The statutory principles that we put in the Fire and Rescue National Framework for England came into force on 12 January. To underpin these, the National Employers have sought further discussion with the Fire Brigades Union in respect of additional guidance relating to the position already agreed in principle within the National Joint Council for Local Authority Fire and Rescue Services. This discussion will be about the role fire authorities will take in supporting operational employees in maintaining their fitness. In addition, the National Employers are looking to discuss with the unions, guidance on the application of the factors set out in pension regulations for fire authority consideration in relation to Authority Initiated Early Retirement. Both approaches are expected to provide reassurance to operational employees that fire authorities will continue to treat their employees in a fair and consistent manner.</p><p> </p><p>We will review the implementation of the National Framework principles in three years time and consider then whether further action is needed. In the meantime no firefighter will have to work beyond their current expected retirement date until 2022 at the earliest. Our expectation is that a firefighter of 55 or over who finds themselves in the situation of losing their fitness through no fault of their own, is subsequently unable to regain their fitness, and for whom there are no redeployment opportunities, should be offered an unreduced pension.</p> answering member constituency Portsmouth North answering member printed Penny Mordaunt question first answered 16/03/2015 15:35:07 answering member 4017 label Biography information for Penny Mordaunt

uin	221492
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/01/2015 answer text <p>The Electoral Commission has published guidance for Returning Officers and people considering standing for election to local authorities in Great Britain which sets out the four possible qualifications to stand and be elected. These qualifications relate to candidate activity in the local authority area, rather than the specific ward in which they are standing. Candidates must meet at least one of the qualifications to be validly nominated.</p><p>One qualification is that the candidate’s principal or only place of work in the previous 12 months was in the local authority area. This enables those who work in the local authority area but do not necessarily live there, to qualify.</p><p>The Commission has advised that simply attending a school, college or university in the local authority area for the sole purpose of studying would not be sufficient grounds to qualify to stand for election under the principal or only place of work qualification, although an individual may meet one of the other qualification criteria. It is the candidate’s responsibility to ensure that they are eligible and not that of the Returning Officer. In giving their consent to nomination, the candidate is confirming that they meet the qualifications to stand for election as stated in their nomination paper and are not disqualified.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Devon answering member printed Mr Gary Streeter question first answered 26/01/2015 17:32:47 answering member 234 label Biography information for Sir Gary Streeter
