answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>Government intervention to provide funding to speed up the removal of unsafe ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) cladding is wholly exceptional. This is based on the unparalleled fire risk ACM poses. The Government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner. We have published guidance to reiterate the importance of building owners assessing their buildings and ensuring that non-ACM cladding systems are safe. Advice Note 14, published in 2017 and updated in December 2018, reiterates that the clearest way to ensure safety is to remove unsafe materials. <br> <br> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:50:04 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

uin	265495
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/06/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not hold comprehensive data on planned completion dates for the remediation of ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) buildings. The Government has provided £600 million funding to remove unsafe ACM cladding from high rise residential buildings in the social and private sector. This will remove the biggest blocker to progress on remediation in these buildings. However, it is important to recognise remediation work cannot be done overnight, and it must be done properly. The time to complete work varies considerably depending on the factors such as structure, extent of cladding, and existing fire safety systems. For many buildings this is a complex job involving major construction work. We want buildings to be remediated as quickly as possible and we will be closely monitoring the work as it progresses.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/06/2019 14:46:38 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2019 answer text <p>MHCLG collects information on households in England who are classified as intentionally homeless i.e households who have lost accommodation as a result of actions that they took or failed to take. This may include households who have given up suitable accommodation without good reason or have been evicted due to rent arrears or other breach of tenancy conditions.</p><p>The number of households who have been classified as intentionally homeless in England for the last 5 years are below:</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>8530</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>8990</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2015/16</p></td><td><p>9560</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2016/17</p></td><td><p>9860</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2017/18</p></td><td><p>8700</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p><br>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p><p>In its first year, the Rough Sleeping Initiative funding provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff across the country. This year we have expanded the initiative with an investment of £46 million providing funding for an estimated 2,600 bed spaces and 750 staff. £12 million of this is for areas new to the programme, bringing the total authorities funded to 246.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 18/06/2019 15:52:16 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
