answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>Government is providing funding for the remediation of social residential buildings over 18 metres, owned by local authorities and housing associations. We are providing this funding because we want to make sure that local authorities and housing associations can focus their efforts on making their buildings safe without impacting negatively on other services, improvements to housing quality or new supply. This might include meeting the decent homes standard. 159 applications were received by 31 August deadline and assessed as part of the first tranche of applications, with funding allocated to 135 buildings. We expect to confirm the outcome of the remaining applications shortly.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/02/2019 16:54:44 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	218842
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2019 answer text <p>The scope of MHCLG’s Building Safety Programme is high-rise residential buildings. This includes private and social residential buildings, along with hotels, student accommodation, and public buildings (comprising health buildings and schools). Some of these buildings will be mixed use, comprising elements of commercial and other use, but buildings solely used for these purposes are out of scope of the Building Safety Programme.</p><p>The focus of our work is on ensuring that all high-rise residential buildings with unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding are remediated as quickly as possible. These buildings are where the risk to life from fire is greatest. High-rise buildings used for other purposes have different evacuation strategies and the risks are lower.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 13/02/2019 17:24:22 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	218180
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/02/2019 answer text <p>We do not hold data on property ownership by national citizenship. However the Government recognises that purchases of homes by residents not in the UK can contribute to inflating house prices. Foreign nationals making overseas purchases of UK property have made it more difficult for UK residents to purchase a home of their own. That is why HM Treasury are consulting on the details of a Stamp Duty land tax surcharge for foreign non-resident buyers. <br> <br> We continue to welcome overseas investment in the UK housing market which continues to make an important contribution towards the Government's target of building 300,000 homes per year by the mid 2020’s.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 15/02/2019 14:22:34 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will consider implementing an obligatory tenancy deposit scheme for commercial premises with a rateable value of £51,000 or less to ensure that small and medium enterprises which put down deposits in order to secure business premises have their deposits protected.

uin	216404
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/02/2019 answer text <p>The terms on whether and how a deposit will be paid by the tenants of a commercial property, and how they will be retained, should be included within the commercial lease agreement agreed by both the landlord and the tenant. It is considered to be best practice to include a rent deposit deed, which is a document that sets how a landlord secures a commercial tenant's deposit.</p><p>Under the tenancy deposit protection legislation introduced in the Housing Act 2004, all landlords letting on residential assured shorthold tenancies are required to protect their tenants' deposits in a government-approved scheme within 30 days of taking the deposit. The landlord must also serve the tenant with certain prescribed information within the same thirty-day period. We do not currently have any plans to require the use of a tenancy deposit scheme for commercial tenancies.</p><p>Since 1 October 2014, it has been a legal requirement for lettings agents and property managers in England to join one of two government-approved redress schemes: the Property Ombudsman or the Property Redress Scheme. The letting agent or property manager should arbitrate any disputes between the landlord or tenant in the first instance. Should the letting agents or property managers be unable to arbitrate the dispute, then a complaint can be made to the redress scheme.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 12/02/2019 13:57:48 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
