answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text <p>The Dormant Assets Scheme is led by industry and backed by the government with the aim of reuniting people with their financial assets. Where this is not possible, this money supports important social and environmental initiatives across the UK.</p><p>As a voluntary Scheme, industry stakeholders have been at the forefront of efforts to bring assets from the insurance and pensions, investment and wealth management, and securities sectors into scope. This includes leading work to estimate the value of dormancy currently in each sector and using their experience and understanding of reunification processes to inform their estimates of how much could be reunited with their owners successfully. The government is grateful for their work on this and has no plans to review their estimates or methodology at this time.</p><p>The following table sets out estimated value of assets that are dormant in each of the new asset classes to be included in the expanded Dormant Assets Scheme, broken down by sector:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Sector</p></td><td><p>Dormant assets</p></td><td><p>Could be reunited with owners through enhanced tracing efforts</p></td><td><p>Could be transferred to RFL</p></td><td><p>Could be released to social and environmental initiatives</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Insurance and pensions</p></td><td><p>£2.1bn</p></td><td><p>£1.17bn</p></td><td><p>£959m</p></td><td><p>£575m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Investment and wealth management</p></td><td><p>£1.4bn</p></td><td><p>£781m</p></td><td><p>£588m</p></td><td><p>£238m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Securities</p></td><td><p>£158m</p></td><td><p>£48m</p></td><td><p>£110m</p></td><td><p>£66m</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL</p></td><td><p>£3.7bn</p></td><td><p>£2bn</p></td><td><p>£1.7bn</p></td><td><p>£880m</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>The government is now set to expand the Scheme through primary legislation, which was introduced in the House of Lords on Wednesday 12 May 2021.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Boston and Skegness answering member printed Matt Warman question first answered 19/05/2021 12:08:21 answering member 4361 label Biography information for Matt Warman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/02/2020 answer text <p>Consistent data at this level of detail for the treatment of material collected for recycling is only available for the last four years when a new more detailed data reporting structure was introduced. Table 1 below shows the tonnages of all local authority waste collected in England for recycling as source segregated or comingled material that is sent to landfill, incineration and recycling.</p><p> </p><p>All local authority waste will primarily relate to household waste (approximately 90 per cent) but will include a proportion of non-household waste. The data does not distinguish between material that became refuse derived fuel and solid recovered fuel; a total for material sent for incineration has been provided. Repurposing has been interpreted to mean recycling (including preparation for reuse); detailed information on the specific end uses is not collected.</p><p> </p><p>Due to the complexity of the data and the multiple treatment stages that the material may go through, any consequent slight differences in data recording or cases of unknown treatments, it is possible that there are tonnages that are not fully captured in the landfill and incineration figures but these will be small (a combined maximum 20-40 thousand tonnes in total in any of these years).</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Table 1 Treatment of non-residual local authority collected municipal waste in England</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="2"><p>Figures are in thousand tonnes</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Treatment of Non residual waste</p></td><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>2018/19</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sent to Landfill</p></td><td><p>146</p></td><td><p>148</p></td><td><p>103</p></td><td><p>78</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sent to Incineration</p></td><td><p>268</p></td><td><p>284</p></td><td><p>357</p></td><td><p>429</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Recycled or Reused</p></td><td><p>10,473</p></td><td><p>10,627</p></td><td><p>10,249</p></td><td><p>10,215</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Notes:-</p><ol><li><p>Figures relate to all (“Household” and “non-household”) local authority waste from non-residual waste streams.</p></li><li><p>Incineration includes material reported as refuse derived fuel (RDF), incineration with energy recovery, incineration without energy recovery and other heat treatments.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department is undertaking an analysis of all school buildings to identify those over 18 metres or four storeys high to establish what, if any, external cladding has been used on these buildings. For these buildings, it will also check that where a fire risk assessment has identified the need to install a sprinkler system, installation has taken place. This exercise will cover school buildings of all ages.</p><p> </p><p>Fire risk assessments should be used during the design process to determine whether a sprinkler system is required in a new school building. They may also be required as an integral part of a fire safety design for a school building.</p><p> </p><p>The cost of installing sprinklers in an existing building undergoing refurbishment will vary depending on the building’s requirements and characteristics and can only be established on a case-by-case basis.</p><p> </p><p>The Department does not collect data on the costs of school fires.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 547 548 550 question first answered 04/07/2017 15:32:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
