answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/06/2019 answer text <p>Unsafe Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding poses a particularly high risk on High Rise Residential Buildings. This is why the Government has set aside £600 million (£200 million for private buildings and up to £400 million for social buildings) for remediation of ACM cladding systems.</p><p>Non-ACM cladding systems or other structural works which are not directly related to the remediation of ACM cladding systems will not be part of the fund.</p><p>The Government has consistently made clear that building safety is the responsibility of the building owner and this includes acting if they have other cladding which they cannot confirm is safe – detailed advice is contained in Government Advice Note 14 published in December 2017 and revised in December 2018. <br> <br> <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/765761/Expert_Panel_advice_note_on_non-ACM.pdf</a></p><p>My Department has also established a research project to test and improve the evidence available on the behaviour of a range of non-ACM materials used in cladding systems when subjected to fire.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/05/2019 answer text <p>Our revised National Planning Policy Framework, published in July 2018, asks local authorities to support development whose primary objective is to conserve or enhance biodiversity. Opportunities to incorporate biodiversity improvements in and around developments should also be encouraged, especially where this can secure measurable net gains for biodiversity. These gains could include the safeguarding of established trees or bird populations, access to new green space, and provision of green infrastructure such as swift bricks or hedgehog highways. The government will use the forthcoming Environment Bill to mandate biodiversity net gain for development in England ensuring that the delivery of much-needed infrastructure and housing is not at the expense of vital biodiversity.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/05/2019 10:27:26 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse previous answer version 116396 answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/04/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to increasing the supply of social housing and has made £9 billion available through the Affordable Homes Programme to March 2022 to deliver 250,000 new affordable homes of a wide range of tenures, including homes for social rent.</p><p>In addition to this, we announced an additional £2 billion of long term funding certainty for housing associations.

Our ten year funding commitment through strategic partnerships marks the first time any government has invested such long-term funding in new homes through housing associations.</p><p>Since 2010, we have delivered over 407,000 new affordable homes, including over 293,000 affordable homes for rent.</p><p>On 25 March we published a joint study by MHCLG and DWP on the causes of homelessness and rough sleeping. We are currently considering options for how we will take forward the main study following completion of the feasibility study. We will report back to the Public Accounts Committee in June 2019.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 03/04/2019 14:36:51 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
