answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>The Government is strongly supportive of helping people to own their own homes, those who rent their homes and those who wish to buy them, and remains committed to the Right to Buy, which has helped over 2 million social housing tenants to become homeowners.</p><p>The maximum Right to Buy discounts were raised in 2012 and increase each year in line with CPI. This annual increase in the discount assists tenants, including those in areas with high property costs, to purchase their homes, which has resulted in over 155,000 since this reinvigoration.</p><p>The Right to Buy discount also specifically recognises the higher property prices in London where the maximum available discount is £127,900 compared with £96,000 in the rest of England.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley question first answered 29/11/2023 13:43:59 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2023 answer text <p>Alongside our 2018 Resources and Waste Strategy, the Government’s ambitions to minimise waste were outlined earlier this year in <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/waste-prevention-programme-for-england-maximising-resources-minimising-waste/the-waste-prevention-programme-for-england-maximising-resources-minimising-waste" target="_blank">Maximising Resources, Minimising Waste</a> , our new Waste Prevention Programme for England. This sets out our priorities for action to manage resources and waste in accordance with the waste hierarchy across key sectors. It also embeds our circular economy approach by retaining materials and goods in circulation for as long as possible and at their highest value, including through increasing reuse, repair and remanufacture. The final chapter of the Programme sets out our plans to monitor and evaluate progress. We have indicators in place to capture changes and we will monitor trends over an extended period of time. In addition, through the National Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Research programme, experts will support Defra in exploring the metrics and data requirements needed to support a circular economy.</p><p> </p><p>We are also introducing our Simpler Recycling reforms which will ensure that across England, people will be able to recycle the same materials, no longer needing to check what their council will accept for recycling. This policy will make recycling easier and ensure there is a comprehensive, consistent service across England. This will reduce confusion with recycling to improve recycling rates, ensuring there is more recycled material in the products we buy, and the UK recycling industry grows.</p> answering member constituency Keighley answering member printed Robbie Moore question first answered 29/11/2023 16:03:12 answering member 4861 label Biography information for Robbie Moore
