question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government which local authorities in England have yet to take up the opportunity to apply a council tax premium of 50 per cent on unoccupied homes.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL8372
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>35 billing authorities in England did not apply a council tax premium in 2017-18 on homes that have been empty for two years or more – which is the latest year for which data is available centrally (see table below). Some of these authorities may have introduced the premium in 2018-19. Of the 291 billing authorities that applied a premium in 2017-18, three applied premiums at less than the 50% rate. These are Harrogate (25%), Richmondshire (10%) and Rutland (10%)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Billing authorities that did not apply a council tax empty homes premium in 2017-18</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Amber Valley</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Blaby</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bolsover</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bromley</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Bromsgrove</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Broxbourne</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Castle Point</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Cheltenham</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Chiltern</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>City of London</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Corby</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Derbyshire Dales</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Dover</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Forest of Dean</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gloucester</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Gosport</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hambleton</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Harborough</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hinckley &amp; Bosworth</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Isles of Scilly</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>New Forest</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East Derbyshire</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Lincolnshire UA</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Somerset UA</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Tyneside</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West Leicestershire</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Redditch</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ribble Valley</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rushcliffe</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tendring</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Tewkesbury</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Westminster</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Winchester</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wyre</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wyre Forest</p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 14/06/2018 16:49:18 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what priority they place on the redevelopment of empty homes over new builds.
tabling member printed	Lord Bird
uin	HL8251
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>Tackling empty homes is essential to making the best use of the homes we already have. The Government has ensured that local authorities have powers and strong incentives to bring empty homes back in to use, and the number of empty homes has fallen to just over 200,000, down from 300,000 in 2010. These incentives and powers include the New Homes Bonus and the 50% council tax premium for homes empty for two years or longer. We have brought forward legislation that will double the maximum premium rate to 100%. We are also fully committed to delivering more of the right homes in the right places to fix the broken housing market. Our ambitious package of long term reforms puts us on track to create a housing market that delivers 300,000 homes a year on average by the middle of the next decade.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 14/06/2018 16:48:35 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
