The Events Research Programme Science Board has planned for testing to take place both before and after each of the event pilots to ensure event safety and to gather evidence on the pilots. This will be for all attendees, regardless of COVID vaccination status, and there will be no requirement for participants to show proof of the vaccine.<\/p>

The Events Research Programme (including DCMS, DHSC and BEIS) will report at the end of May to the Prime Minister, to feed into wider discussions around Step 4 of the roadmap.<\/p>

Longstanding safety advice from the independent expert advisory panel established by Government following the Grenfell tragedy is that height is a central factor in assessing risk, and it is right we prioritise action on higher rise buildings where risk to multiple households is greater when fire spreads. For lower and medium-rise blocks of flats, the risks are significantly lower and the remediation of cladding is less likely to be needed - in many cases, it will not be needed at all. Government funding does not absolve building owners of their responsibility to ensure their buildings are safe. They should consider all routes to meet costs, protecting leaseholders where they can \u2013 for example through warranties and recovering costs from contractors for incorrect or poor work.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4075", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Christopher Pincher"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Tamworth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Christopher Pincher"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-02-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-02-25T18:00:44.187Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-02-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing: Insulation"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his oral contribution on Building Safety on 10 February 2021, Official report, column 329, whether cladding on residential buildings of less than 11 metres in height by default does not require remedial work; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1537", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Philip Hollobone"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kettering"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Philip Hollobone"} ], "uin" : "153167"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1275530", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1275530/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The decision to direct the release of a prisoner serving a mandatory life sentence for murder, once the prisoner has completed the minimum term of imprisonment (the tariff) set by the Court, is by law solely a matter for the independent Parole Board. The Board will direct the prisoner\u2019s release on life licence where it assesses that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public that the prisoner remain detained in custody. In making its assessment, the Parole Board has regard to a dossier of evidence about the prisoner\u2019s current risk, including reports from a probation offender manager and a prison offender supervisor.<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of prisoners serving a mandatory life sentence for murder whom the Parole Board has released in each year since 2007 is set out in the table below. The Ministry of Justice publishes these tables as part of the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication. This is available online at:<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice is also able to provide information about the number of offenders who were convicted of a murder while on life licence for a previous murder, by matching data held about Serious Further Offences (SFOs)*<\/strong> with the data on releases. However, the Department is not able to provide data about offences for violence against the person or other offences without incurring disproportionate costs, because it is not possible to match release data with data held on the Police National Computer (PNC) without a large manual checking exercise. For the same reason, we cannot provide information about the number of offenders who did not commit further offences following release on life licence.<\/p>

The decision to direct the release of a prisoner serving a mandatory life sentence for murder, once the prisoner has completed the minimum term of imprisonment (the tariff) set by the Court, is by law solely a matter for the independent Parole Board. The Board will direct the prisoner\u2019s release on life licence where it assesses that it is no longer necessary for the protection of the public that the prisoner remain detained in custody. In making its assessment, the Parole Board has regard to a dossier of evidence about the prisoner\u2019s current risk, including reports from a probation offender manager and a prison offender supervisor.<\/p>

<\/p>

The number of prisoners serving a mandatory life sentence for murder whom the Parole Board has released in each year since 2007 is set out in the table below. The Ministry of Justice publishes these tables as part of the Offender Management Statistics Quarterly publication. This is available online at:<\/p>

The Ministry of Justice is also able to provide information about the number of offenders who were convicted of a murder while on life licence for a previous murder, by matching data held about Serious Further Offences (SFOs)*<\/strong> with the data on releases. However, the Department is not able to provide data about offences for violence against the person or other offences without incurring disproportionate costs, because it is not possible to match release data with data held on the Police National Computer (PNC) without a large manual checking exercise. For the same reason, we cannot provide information about the number of offenders who did not commit further offences following release on life licence.<\/p>
