answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>The Government expects the restriction to tax relief for finance costs for individual residential landlords to have a minimal impact on house building in the UK. Overall, the OBR believes the impact on the housing market will be small and, taking account of the other measures in the Summer Budget, have not adjusted their forecast for house prices. The Productivity Plan published alongside the Summer Budget includes a number of measures to make the planning system quicker, cheaper and more responsive to local housing needs.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>HM Treasury expects a minimal impact on the supply of property in the private rented sector in the UK. The measure is expected to impact fewer than 1 in 5 landlords and will be introduced gradually from April 2017 over 4 years to give landlords time to adjust. The Budget also announced increased Rent a Room relief, which can help to increase levels of private rented accommodation. The Government is taking significant steps to support housing supply with housing starts now at a 7 year high.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Consumer buy-to-let mortgages will become regulated in March 2016 as part of the implementation of the EU Mortgage Credit Directive. However, independently verified government analysis suggests that approximately 86% of the market will remain unregulated, and that the costs imposed by this change are not of a sufficient scale to affect the supply of rental properties in the UK.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South West Hertfordshire answering member printed Mr David Gauke question first answered 16/09/2015 15:37:20 answering member 1529 label Biography information for Mr David Gauke

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>Complexity in CAP rules and the interpretation that EU auditors place on regulations is the root cause of many disallowance corrections. Since 2010, steps taken by Defra have allowed the disallowance penalties incurred in England to be steadily managed at around £50m per year. Throughout this period the Government has challenged claims for disallowance through mediation in the EU and since 2010 reduced the amount of disallowance levied by €285m.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department’s Annual Report and Accounts provides provisions of £64.5m for future disallowance related to historical audits. While future disallowance penalties are difficult to predict, the Government is concerned that the new Horizontal Regulation amends the way that penalty rates are calculated, introducing a ratchet effect, which could greatly increase proposed disallowance penalty corrections, even if the same standards of implementation are maintained. The UK Government believes that a proportionate penalty scheme in the Horizontal Regulation is a priority for CAP simplification and the mid-term review of CAP regulations.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/09/2015 15:54:50 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

Since May 2014, prisoners with a history of escape, absconding or serious temporary release failure during the current sentence have been precluded from transfer to open conditions, other than in the most exceptional circumstances.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/09/2015 answer text <p>I attach a list of each of the prisons from which prisoners have been released on temporary licence (ROTL) in the last 5 years.</p><p>Eligibility for ROTL primarily depends upon the assessment of the prisoner in question rather than the classification of the establishment in which they are currently detained. So, whilst a Category A prisoner cannot have ROTL and Category B prisoners can take it only in exceptional circumstances, lower category prisoners who are eligible to be considered for ROTL are held in category B and in some category A prisons. The key test is whether the prisoner in question is eligible to be considered, has a legitimate purpose for temporary releases linked to the sentence plan, and passes the rigorous risk assessment required.</p><p>Since 2013 when the process was revised there has been a 39% drop in the number of temporary release failures. This is the lowest failure rate since 2002, and the absconding rate has reached record lows under this and the Coalition government.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 16/09/2015 15:17:09 question first ministerially corrected 03/03/2016 14:46:42 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous attachment 1 file name 9482 - table.xlsx title temporary licence releases Jan 2011 - March 2015 previous answer version 21827 answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
