Sexual Offences: Victims
Asked by: Sarah Owen (Labour - Luton North) Tuesday 11th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to support victims of rape and sexual violence through the court system. Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice) I recognise that the experience of attending court can be distressing, particularly for vulnerable victims, such as those of rape and sexual violence. Special measures can help vulnerable witnesses who may otherwise feel unable to give evidence. The Ministry of Justice-funded Witness Service also provides on-the-day support to victims at court. |

Housing: Fire Prevention
Asked by: Sarah Owen (Labour - Luton North) Monday 17th November 2025 Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government: To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps his Department is taking to ensure fire safety for new (a) high rise buildings, (b) complex or mixed use developments and (c) sites with known access or water-supply constraints and (d) other new build major residential developments. Answered by Samantha Dixon - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government) The Department has taken steps to strengthen fire safety in all new buildings, including those that are high-rise, complex, or located on constrained sites. The Building Safety Act 2022 established the Building Safety Regulator, which since October 2023 has acted as the Building Control Authority for Higher Risk Buildings. Fire safety is considered from the earliest design stages through Planning Gateway One and Gateway Two. Approved Document B (Fire Safety) is subject to continuous review. Updates since 2017 include the ban on combustible materials in external walls over 18 metres, sprinkler requirements for buildings over 11 metres, evacuation alert systems, and provision for second staircases in buildings over 18 metres, which will apply to new buildings where applications are submitted after 30 September 2026. For complex or mixed-use developments, applications are assessed by multi-disciplinary teams. Where standard guidance is insufficient, expert advice should be sought. For sites with access or water-supply constraints, developers must demonstrate compliance with fire service access provisions or justify alternative approaches. All new residential developments, regardless of size, must comply with the Building Regulations, including Part B (Fire Safety). Approved Document B provides statutory guidance on how these requirements may be met in common building situations, but developers may choose alternative approaches provided they can demonstrate compliance with the functional requirements of the Regulations. |
