	tabling member constituency	Coventry South
	tabling member printed	Mr Jim Cunningham
	uin	236291
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/03/2019 answer text <p>The National Planning Policy Framework expects local authorities to give substantial weight to the value of using suitable brownfield land within settlements for new homes and other uses. We ask them to prioritise brownfield wherever practicable, and have provided support in the form of loan funding for site preparation, infrastructure and land assembly; new permitted development rights to put existing buildings to good use as dwellings; and the redevelopment of brownfield sites in Green Belt to allow more affordable homes. Every local authority has published a register of brownfield land suitable for new homes, bringing thousands of hectares of developable land to the attention of house-builders and self-builders.</p><p>Local authorities are also beginning to receive proposals regarding Permission in Principle for housing-led developments on land in brownfield registers. Brownfield sufficient for many hundreds of thousands of new homes is likely to be identified by local authorities, and it is they who must plan how and when to use available, viable and sustainable sites for the housing we so badly need.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 28/03/2019 13:03:40 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

The majority of this funding is not ringfenced and it is for local authorities, who are independent of central government, to manage their budgets in line with locally determined priorities. Extra funding announced in Budget 2018 means Government will have given councils access to £10 billion dedicated funding that can be used for adult social care in the three year period to 2019-20.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 28/03/2019 12:55:04 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting all victims of domestic abuse.</p><p>My Department does not hold information on the availability of refuges for victims of domestic abuse in (a) Coventry and (b) the West Midlands. However, I am pleased to confirm that Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council led the West Midlands in successful pan-regional bids for both the 2016-18 £20 million and the 2018-20 £22 million funds, building upon their regional partnership, increase refuge provision and remove barriers to accessing refuge. Through the 2016-18 fund the West Midlands was awarded £639,253 over the two years, including receiving a share of the £1.1 million top up funding. In the current 2018-20 fund the West Midlands has been awarded £638,849, with the first instalment being released December 2019 and the remaining to be released in the new financial year.</p><p>My department has also carried out a review of how domestic abuse services are locally commissioned and funded across England. We have worked closely with sector partners, drawing on their data, expertise and knowledge and taken account of the findings of an independent audit of provision of domestic abuse services across England, led by Ipsos MORI. Following the review, we intend to consult on potential measures for sustainable delivery of support for victims and their children in accommodation-based services for domestic abuse across England shortly.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 27/03/2019 10:53:58 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
