answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2017 answer text <p>As set out in our Housing White Paper, the Government recognises that this country does not build enough new homes and the National Planning Policy Framework is clear that local authorities, such as the London Borough of Haringey, are expected to identify and plan for the market and affordable housing needs of their area.</p><p>The Mayor has overall responsibility for housing policy and delivery in London and given that homes in London are the most unaffordable in the country, we believe London must take urgent action to plan for more homes and address the lack of delivery.</p><p>At a national level the Government is determined to boost housing supply and to build more affordable homes. To support this, at Autumn Statement 2016 we announced an £1.4 billion expansion of the Shared Ownership and Affordable Homes Programme (SOAHP) 2016-21 which increased the overall budget to £7.1 billion. The Government has agreed a £3.15 billion package of funding for affordable housing in London to deliver at least 90,000 new affordable homes by March 2021. So far we have delivered nearly 333,000 new affordable homes since 2010 with one quarter of overall delivery in London (79,300).</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 19/09/2017 14:53:14 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2017 answer text <p>It is the responsibility and statutory duty of an employer to check that an individual has been cleared to work in direct contact with children or vulnerable adults. The Westway Assistance Centre has now closed, with many of the services transferred to the Community Assistance Centre at Bard Road. Disclosure and Barring checks are unlikely to apply to the majority of those working at the Community Assistance Centre. However, the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea Council, as part of its volunteer strategy and future plans for the Community Assistance Centre, is encouraging all staff and volunteers to sign up to a voluntary code of conduct including Disclosure and Barring, and suitability, checks.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 12/09/2017 14:45:49 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
