answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government is providing £5.1 billion, including £4.5 billion through the Building Safety Fund, to address the fire safety risks caused by unsafe cladding on high-rise residential buildings. This will be used where the original developer and/or the building owner are not funding the works. On 13 April, the Department announced that leading residential developers had pledged to remediate life critical fire safety works in buildings over 11 metres that they have played a role in developing or refurbishing over the last 30 years in England. As of 13 June, over 45 have signed the pledge. <br> <br> Developers making this commitment have also agreed to reimburse any funding received from government remediation programmes in relation to buildings they had a role in developing or refurbishing. This action will make sure that funding grants will only be used where there is no industry solution available and there should be no need for additional funding from the tax payer.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 17/06/2022 13:30:27 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

uin	15289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2022 answer text <p>Increasing the provision of affordable housing is a central pillar of the Government's levelling-up agenda - enabling us to end the housing crisis, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder.</p><p>Our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme runs from 2021 to 2026, and will deliver up to 180,000 affordable homes, should economic conditions allow. Around half the homes will be for affordable and social rent. The 2021-2026 programme will deliver more than double the amount of social rent homes (around 32,000) compared to the 2016-2023 programme that came before it.</p><p>The Government wants to see local authorities playing a key role in the delivery of social housing, alongside housing associations. Government has given councils more freedom in how they can spend the money they receive from Right to Buy sales on replacement homes, as well as abolishing the Housing Revenue Account (HRA) borrowing cap to help them achieve this.</p><p>Ultimately, the country needs a mixture of different types and tenures of housing. The National Planning Policy Framework sets out that local planning authorities should assess the type and tenure of homes needed and reflect this in their local planning policies.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 17/06/2022 13:28:51 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, with reference to the Government's proposed reform of the section 106/CIL system, under what circumstances will section106 payments be required instead of the Infrastructure Levy.
tabling member constituency	York Central
tabling member printed	Rachael Maskell
uin	14531
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/06/2022 answer text <p>The Infrastructure Levy will be a mandatory, non-negotiable charge, set and collected locally, to largely replace the complex and discretionary Section 106 regime and CIL charge. We have listened to feedback from stakeholders and will be retaining the use of Section 106 agreements in limited circumstances to support delivery of the largest sites. In these instances, infrastructure will be able to be provided in-kind and negotiated, but with the guarantee that the value of what is agreed will be no less than will be paid through the Levy. We intend to consult on the Levy and the residual role for Section 106 agreements.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 16/06/2022 14:56:59 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
