My hon. Friend is right to raise these matters. They must be of deep concern to his constituents, who had their hopes built up but nothing has happened. I hope the Co-op has heard what he has said today, because the answer lies largely in its hands. He is right...

When the Central England Co-operative announced that it was purchasing the Marquis pub in Great Sutton and the Saffron restaurant in Ellesmere Port, we were delighted that those old buildings were going to be brought back into use as convenience stores. However, five years on since those announcements, I am...

The Health and Safety Executive have not had any discussions with the Secretary of State for Business and Trade or received any representations from trade unions concerning Project Lunar. Project Lunar is an internal policy that the Co-op is introducing, so it is not a matter for HSE or the government to be involved in.
Under health and safety law it is the employer (Co-op) who is responsible for protecting its employees and others from harm. The employer must identify the risks and take action to eliminate them, or if this is not possible, to control the risk. An employer must manage any health and safety risks before people can work alone.
HSE and Local Authorities (LAs) work together as co-regulatory partners to enforce health and safety law, with LAs being responsible for regulation of health and safety in most retail businesses. Both HSE and LAs provide advice and guidance on the management of risk and what the law requires, conduct inspections and investigations, and take enforcement action where appropriate.
Any correspondence received by HSE raising workplace health and safety concerns is fully assessed, and subsequent actions can include, providing advice or guidance, further investigation or referral to another regulator where appropriate.

Project Lunar is an internal policy that the Co-op is introducing and is not a matter that DBT can comment on.
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has the policy lead for regulation of workplace health and safety in Great Britain. The primary responsibility for managing risk to health and safety lies with employers. An employer is the person or organisation that is legally responsible, under health and safety law, for managing and controlling risks created by their work activities. It is for the employer to determine the best way to manage those risks taking account of the circumstances of their business and work activity. There may be greater risks for lone workers without direct supervision or someone to help them if things go wrong, and an employer must identify the risks to lone workers and put control measures in place to protect them.
HSE provide guidance on lone working: Lone working: Protect those working alone - HSE.

Treasury Ministers have meetings with a wide variety of organisations in the public and private sectors, as part of the process of policy development and delivery. HM Treasury publishes a list of ministerial meetings with external organisations.
This is available online at: www.gov.uk/government/collections/hmt-ministers-meetings-hospitality-gifts-and-overseas-travel
Information about all Ministerial phone calls is not routinely collected and is not held centrally.

The Government has no role in approving Directors to sit on the boards of private companies. The Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority are responsible under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 for approving applications to perform controlled functions such as being a director, in banks and other authorised financial services firms. They will remain responsible for approving directors of banks as senior managers when the provisions in the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill, which implement the recommendations of the Parliamentary Commission on Banking Standards, come into force.
My hon. Friend makes an important point. He will know that there are 7.6 million Co-op members across the country who will not get a dividend, whereas last year they received a dividend of £64 million. That is 7.6 million people who have a legitimate question to ask about why...

I am a proud Co-op member and I use my local Co-op in Honley and Holmfirth every week. May we have an urgent debate on why the Co-operative Group feels unable to give the annual members’ dividend this year, which would help hard-pressed families in the lead-up to Christmas, when...

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they were consulted by Co-operative Wholesale Services and Co-operative Financial Services on the payment of dividends by those firms in 2012 and 2013 at a time when their subsidiary Co-operative Bank was under instructions to increase core tier one capital.

This is a matter for the firm and its regulators; the Government has no role in this area and was not consulted in this particular case.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government on what basis Lord Newby stated “the Co-op Bank ….was originally owned by the Co-operative Group but is no longer” on 15 October (HL Deb, col 521); and when the Co-operative Group’s ownership of the Co-op Bank ceased.[HL2795]

My Noble Friend, Lord Newby, has written to the Noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, to provide further information on a number of points that were raised during the second day of debate on the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill in Lords Committee, including a clarification on the point raised by the Noble Lady. A copy of the letter will be laid in the library of both Houses.
The Co-operative Bank is a company limited by shares, and is not itself a mutual. However, the Noble Lord’s letter clarifies that, at present, the Co-op Bank is wholly owned by the Co-operative Group, whose holding company is an Industrial and Provident Society - it is for this reason that it is sometimes referred to as a mutually-owned bank.
