answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department’s workforce statistics are published on a quarterly basis by the Office for National Statistics as part of its Quarterly Public Sector Employment estimates. Data for the two quarters in question, June 2016 and September 2018 (latest available quarterly release) can be viewed and obtained via the following link: <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel/datasets/publicsectoremploymentreferencetable" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel/datasets/publicsectoremploymentreferencetable</a> (table 9) in the attached xlsx files for the dates in question.</p><p>At the end of June 2016 the Department employed a reported 1,420 full-time equivalent staff in comparison with 1,890 full-time equivalent staff at the end of September 2018. Please note that these figures are rounded to the nearest ten at the point of release and do not include the Department’s Executive Agencies or non-departmental public bodies (NDPB). The difference between the two reported numbers represents a 33 per cent increase in staffing levels during the period in question. It is important to note that in March 2010 there were 2109 full-time equivalent staff working in the Department.</p><p>Please note that the numbers reported to ONS are based on directly employed officials where the Department bears at least 50 per cent of salary costs through its payroll. Staff employed directly by the Department who are on an unpaid leave of absence, or paid on a reimbursed basis, are not included in management information published on GOV.UK and supplied to ONS.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 08/01/2019 15:45:29 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to delivering the right homes in the right places. We are making progress, and latest figures show over 222,000 new homes were delivered in 2017/18 in England - the highest level of new homes delivered in all but one of the last 31 years. But we are determined to do more in order to deliver the homes communities need. That is why we have set out an ambitious package of measures to deliver 300,000 homes a year by the mid-2020s. These measures include over £44 billion of financial support, planning reforms and scrapping housing revenue account borrowing caps so councils can deliver a new generation of council housing.</p><p>Household growth projections are used in Government’s standard method for assessing local housing need—the starting point for establishing local housing requirements. These projections are derived from the population projections which in turn take into account immigration, projecting these trends forward. It is for local authorities to decide how many homes their communities need through their plan-making process.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/01/2019 15:08:44 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/01/2019 answer text <p>Redbridge has been allocated £5,280,506 for 2018-19 as part of the Flexible Homelessness Support Grant. The Rough Sleeping Initiative have also allocated Redbridge £485,250 for 2018-19 with a further £500,000 provisionally allocated for 2019-20 to tackle rough sleeping specifically. In addition, both the Move On Fund and Cold Weather Fund are open to local authorities for proposals to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough and that is why, this 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> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 08/01/2019 15:39:20 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
