“What guidance he has issued to local authorities on reclaiming the costs of replacing dangerous cladding on residential blocks from building owners.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government
Answer from Hansard
The Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (Pat McFadden)
I believe my hon. Friend will welcome the changes the Government have made to statutory sick pay, which came into force earlier this month. For the first time ever, we have removed the lower earnings limit for statutory sick pay, as well as the waiting period so that people can access sick pay as soon as they need it. These changes will mean that up to 1.3 million more people will be covered, helping the low paid and those who work for more than one employer in particular.
