answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2015 answer text <p>The figures in the table show that almost 750 fires attended by fire crews were recorded as having fireworks as the cause of ignition in either dwellings, other residential or forest/woodland fires over the past five years. However, the Department collects information on the source of ignition for primary fires only. Primary fires include all fires in buildings, vehicles and outdoor structures or any fire involving casualties, rescues or fires attended by five or more appliances. The definition also includes “woodland/forest/crops” but other similar land types (eg “grassland, pasture, grazing etc”) are considered secondary fires for which this information is not gathered.</p><br /> answering member constituency Tunbridge Wells answering member printed Greg Clark question first answered 16/11/2015 17:13:04 answering member 1578 label Biography information for Greg Clark attachment 1 file name PQ 13319.xlsx title Table - Fires Attended

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2014 answer text <p>The Government's approach to integration is set out in &quot;Creating the conditions for integration&quot;, published in February 2012. Instead of large scale, centrally led and funded programmes our approach is to enable civil society and local areas to take action on integration issues that are important to them. We have moved away from a focus on single issues and specific groups, but we nonethless recognise that Gypsies and Travellers experience inequalites in a number of important areas. The Ministerial Working Group on Reducing Inequalities Experienced by Gypsies and Travellers published a progress report in April 2012, which made 28 commitments from across Government on reducing inequalities in these communities. We are currently reviewing progress on those commitments and will publish a further report in due course.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 15/12/2014 15:46:52 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis
