	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>Whether mixed-aged couples can claim council tax support depends on a range of factors including the age of a claimant, the benefits they and/or their partner receive, and the design of local schemes. The changes to pension credit due to take effect from 15 May 2019 may mean some households are no longer eligible for the pensioner element of council tax support schemes, but may be eligible for local working-age schemes.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 26/03/2019 15:02:34 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

	uin	235281
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>In reaching his decision on the One Yorkshire proposal the Secretary of State had regard to the evidence and analysis supplied by the Yorkshire leaders, which are available at <a href="https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/economy/devolution/" target="_blank">https://www.westyorks-ca.gov.uk/economy/devolution/</a> . It was on this basis that the Secretary of State concluded that the One Yorkshire proposal met neither the criterion on functional economic area nor on there being strong and accountable governance. The proposal focuses on an area that is far greater than any of today’s functional economic city regions, and does not show how a single accountable mayor would be empowered to take tough decisions across a single area.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 26/03/2019 14:57:43 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

	uin	234832
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>MHCLG has not carried out such an assessment. Housing-with-care is able to react flexibly to fluctuating, or increasing, care and support needs. There is evidence to suggest that living in a housing-with-care setting can reduce the overall amount of care older people might need, whilst also having the potential to reduce loneliness levels.</p><p>In the UK only 0.7 per cent of over-65s live in a housing-with-care setting. This figure stands at more than 5 per cent in countries such as the United States, New Zealand or Australia.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 26/03/2019 15:03:10 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to supporting the delivery of homes in areas affected by severe affordability pressures, such as Oxfordshire. To this end, we have secured a Housing &amp; Growth Deal with Oxfordshire, supporting the delivery of 100,000 homes by 2031. At Spring Statement, the Chancellor announced £218 million of funding from the Housing Infrastructure Fund for the Access to Didcot Garden Town scheme. This funding is for transport infrastructure, which includes improved cycling provision, to unlock much needed new homes in the area.</p><p>Investment for active transport projects relating to housing can be provided if they demonstrate they would provide considerable benefits, including in relation to the goal of promoting sustainable modes of transport. The Government has provided dedicated funding to Oxfordshire County Council to support the development of a Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plan, which enables local authorities to take a strategic approach to planning local cycling and walking improvements, and to integrate these into wider development plans.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 25/03/2019 17:53:46 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 109911 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
