answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2022 answer text <p>Under the existing regulatory framework for construction products, there is no obligation on 'economic operators' (manufacturers, importers and distributors) to certify that a product is safe to be used in the construction of buildings.</p><p>It is our intention to address this safety gap and make sure that all construction products available on the UK market fall under a regulatory regime. The Building Safety Act creates powers to make regulations to require products to be safe before they are placed on the UK market. It will also bring the regulation of products identified as being safety critical in line with arrangements for products that are covered by the existing regulatory regime. These new regulations will be underpinned by a strengthened market surveillance and enforcement regime.</p><p>All building works must comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations 2010 not limited to, but including, safety related performance requirements.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 27/06/2022 16:52:06 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2022 answer text <p>The Government's £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme 2021-2026 aims to deliver up to 180,000 new homes, should economic conditions allow. Approximately half of these homes will be for affordable home ownership, including Shared Ownership. <br> <br> Shared Ownership enables a buyer to purchase an initial equity stake in a home of between 10%-75% of its market value. Following purchase, the buyer can then gradually increase their equity stake in the home, as and when they can afford to do so, all the way up to full ownership, with some limited exceptions. <br> <br> In April 2021, the Government launched its new model of Shared Ownership. This new model will make Shared Ownership more consumer friendly, easier to access and fairer, leading to a better experience for a future generation of home owners.</p> answering member constituency Pudsey answering member printed Stuart Andrew question first answered 23/06/2022 16:28:02 answering member 4032 label Biography information for Stuart Andrew
