uin	9864
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/09/2017 answer text <p>The number of empty homes is at its lowest since records began in 2004. In May 2010 over 300,000 homes in England had been standing empty for longer than 6 months. As of October 2016 the number of long-term empty properties had fallen to 200,145. Local authorities have powers and strong incentives to tackle empty homes. Through the New Homes Bonus they earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one. Councils may also charge up to 150 per cent council tax for homes empty for over two years.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 25/09/2017 11:21:25 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma previous answer version 11891 answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
