	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2021 answer text <p>We want to ensure empty properties do not fall into disrepair and can return into productive use. We have made changes to the Use Classes Order and permitted development rights in order to make the best use of existing buildings. Additionally local authorities have broad powers to take direct action including powers of compulsory purchase, powers to make empty dwelling management orders and powers to issue improvement notices, urgent works notices, and notices under s215 of the Town and Country Planning Act where the condition of land affects the amenity of neighbouring land. There are also powers under s 76-79 of the Building Act to require an owner to address a danger, or demolish a building. If the owner refuses the local authority may take the necessary action.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 29/06/2021 18:21:20 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher previous answer version 10252 answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

We are providing £14 million this year, and provided over £65 million to date, for the Protective Security Grant to protect Jewish schools and community buildings. <br> <br> In October 2019 the Communities Secretary wrote to universities and local authorities to urge them to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) working definition of Antisemitism and there has been significant uptake of the definition since. We have also appointed Lord Mann as the Independent Adviser on Antisemitism, who has been providing advice on the most effective methods of tackling antisemitism in communities.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 22/03/2021 16:03:18 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
