answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2019 answer text <p>The Social Housing Green Paper asked if new safety measures in the private rented sector, such as requirements to install carbon monoxide alarms, should be extended to social housing. Alongside this, the Government is carrying out a review to establish whether requirements to install carbon monoxide (CO) alarms in private rented properties should be extended to any fuel burning appliance and social housing. The findings of this review are being considered alongside responses to the Social Housing Green Paper. We plan to set out the Government response to the Green Paper in Spring 2019.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 07/01/2019 15:53:30 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government has not made a specific assessment of the potential merits of the Scottish Carbon Monoxide regulations in relation to private landlords.</p><p>In England, a consultation was held to assess the effectiveness of the Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm (England) Regulations 2015. The responses to this consultation showed that the regulations were working as intended. The results of this consultation will feed into the wider review of requirements for Carbon Monoxide alarms that was announced in April 2018. This review will consider if the regulations should be extended to include all fuel types as well as all tenures</p><p>In England the regulations require that private landlords install a carbon monoxide alarm in any room having a solid fuel heating appliance. Private landlords are also required to ensure that the alarms are in working order on the first day of the tenancy. Failure to comply with the regulations can result in a penalty of up to £5,000</p><p>The Scottish Carbon Monoxide alarm regulations are a devolved power and it would be for the devolved administration in Scotland to provide details of any assessments they have made of their regulations.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 09/01/2019 16:11:28 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

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
