Anyone intending to carry out any of the works mentioned in section 2 of the Party Wall Act 1996, must inform all adjoining owners. The Act contains no enforcement procedures for failure to serve a notice. If work starts without a notice being given, an adjoining owner can seek to stop the work through a court injunction or seek other legal redress.
The Department has not carried out an assessment of the average legal costs of pursuing a civil court injunction to enforce compliance with the Act or the potential merits of amending the Act. The Act provides for surveyors to be paid the reasonable costs of drawing up an award. However, if the building owner or the adjoining owner feels that a surveyor’s costs are unreasonable, they may ask for a breakdown of costs, e.g. the hourly rate and number of hours of time being charged for.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will take steps to ascertain whether P&O Ferries had sought a legal injunction to remove dismissed staff from their vessels.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will take steps to ascertain whether P&O Ferries had sought a legal injunction to remove dismissed staff from their vessels.
Applications for injunctions of this type are made to the Queenâs Bench Division of the High Court. As at 22 March 2022 no injunction applications have been made by P&O Ferries seeking to remove dismissed staff from their vessels.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many businesses have failed to comply with civil injunctions issued by the High Court for noncompliance with Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in each year since 2015; and what fines were issued in each instance.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many businesses have failed to comply with civil injunctions issued by the High Court for noncompliance with Part 6 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 in each year since 2015; and what fines were issued in each instance.
No civil injunctions have been sought or issued against businesses for non-compliance with section 54 of Modern Slavery Act 2015.
The Act requires businesses to report annually on steps taken to prevent modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. To comply with the requirement, statements must be:
- Published annually via a prominent link on the organisation's homepage;
- Approved by the Board of Directors or equivalent;
- Signed by a Director or equivalent.
To assess levels of compliance with the legal requirements, the Home Office contracted the Business & Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC) to undertake an audit on the Home Officeâs behalf. The audit findings on levels of compliance were published on 17 September 2020 in the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissionerâs annual report (available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/independent-anti-slavery-commissioners-annual-report-2019-to-2020).
The Government has committed to strengthen section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act. As set out in the Government response to the transparency in supply chains consultation, published on 22 September 2020, these changes include introducing mandatory reporting topics; a single reporting deadline; and a central Government-run modern slavery statement registry to enable Government and others to monitor compliance.
In addition, to enforce compliance with the Act, the Foreign Secretary announced in January 2021 that financial penalties will be introduced for organisations who fail to meet their statutory obligations to publish annual modern slavery statements. These measures require primary legislation and will be introduced when parliamentary time allows.
The Government modern slavery statement registry launched in March 2021. Since establishment, over 7,000 statements have been submitted covering over 23,350 organisations. The modern slavery statement registry has radically enhanced transparency by bringing together modern slavery statements on a single platform, empowering investors, consumers and civil society to scrutinise the action organisations are taking to prevent modern slavery in supply chains. We maintain that this collective approach to encourage ever greater transparency is the right one.

Section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 established the UK as the first country in the world to require businesses to report annually on steps taken to prevent modern slavery in their operations and supply chains. To comply with the requirement, statements must be:
- Published annually via a prominent link on the organisation's homepage;
- Approved by the Board of Directors or equivalent;
- Signed by a Director or equivalent.

The Secretary of State has the power to bring civil proceedings in the High Court for an injunction requiring an organisation to comply with the duty to produce a modern slavery statement. This power has not been used to date.
In July 2018, the Home Secretary commissioned the Independent Review of the Modern Slavery Act. The aim of the Review was to identify where the Act is working well, what can be improved in the implementation of the Act and whether specific areas of the legislation need to be strengthened. The independent review recommended that Government should strengthen its approach to organisations failing to comply with section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and recommended use of a civil penalty scheme to penalise non-compliance.
The Government has committed to strengthen section 54 of the Modern Slavery Act, to ensure businesses and large public bodies report transparently on action they have taken to address modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chains. These measures were set out in the Governmentâs response to the transparency in supply chains consultation, published on 22 September 2020.
In addition, in January 2021 the Foreign Secretary announced that financial penalties will be introduced for organisations who fail to meet their statutory obligations to publish annual modern slavery statements. These measures require primary legislation and will be introduced when parliamentary time allows. The Government will publish guidance to help organisations prepare for the new reporting requirements when timings of legislation are clear.

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Insulate Britain protesters have been arrested; and of those, how many (1) have been charged, and (2) have broken court injunctions.
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many Insulate Britain protesters have been arrested; and of those, how many (1) have been charged, and (2) have broken court injunctions.
Insulate Britain began targeting the M25 and other major roads on 13 September. As of 25 October, there have been over 650 arrests made by several police forces in connection to the protests.
The charging of those arrested is an operational matter for the relevant forces and the Crown Prosecution Service. The number of court injunctions broken by protesters is a matter for National Highways and Transport for London who were granted the injunctions.
With permission, Mr Speaker, I would like to make a statement about protests.
There is widespread anger throughout the country about the disruption, danger and misery that so-called climate protesters have caused with their selfish actions. On 13, 15, and 17 September, a group called Insulate Britain staged co-ordinated sit-down protests...

I thank the hon. Lady for her unequivocal support for the police, which we do not always hear in this House. I am grateful to her for that. It is undoubtedly the case that the police forces affected have had to move extremely quickly to deal with these guerrilla tactics,...

The real tragedy of these morons on the motorway is that they set back the cause of advancing decarbonisation in the transport system and they put lives at risk. I welcome the Minister’s robust statement. In the event that these injunctions are not successful, will he consider legislation that perhaps...

I congratulate the Government and National Highways on taking this action. It is vital that we nip this in the bud. These people are dangerous, and the consequences are not necessarily for those who can see them. Drivers who are miles back when the traffic comes to an instant halt...

My hon. Friend speaks with his usual wisdom on this issue. The knock-on consequences of such traffic obstruction are economic but also emotional.

First, let me express my support for every police officer who helps to keep us safe and keep public order—their safety is essential. However, I also understand the side of the protesters, who really feel that climate change is a threat to their future. We must make sure that the...

I had hoped that we would reach a consensus across the House.

I concur with the view that this behaviour is grossly dangerous and irresponsible, and I hope that these people will come to their senses. I understand the claim is that the purpose is to demonstrate their support for home insulation programmes. May I suggest to the Minister that he considers...
