	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2017 answer text <p>Only three applications had been received by October 2016 which proved insufficient for a meaningful assessment to be made. The Department did not therefore carry out a formal review of the changes to selective licensing introduced from April 2015. Since then we have received a further number of applications and will soon be in a position to undertake a review. I will ensure the findings of the review are placed in the Library when it is complete.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/07/2017 13:57:26 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 4339 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

Many local authorities also provide their own local housing schemes for local workers. They can also benefit from our London Help to Buy, with up to 40% equity loan.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 18/01/2017 17:28:20 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell previous answer version 30555 answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
