answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/01/2020 answer text <p>Street cleaning is delivered through the Local Governance Finance Settlement, however responsibility for the policy is owned by DEFRA. Funding is delivered on a non-ringfenced basis through the Settlement, which gives local authorities maximum flexibility to deliver services as they see fit according to local needs. We recognise the vital role Local Government plays and this is why they will receive an additional £2.9 billion next year, the largest increase in spending power in almost a decade.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 14/01/2020 17:42:29 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall previous answer version 976 answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>The 90-night cap on short-term lettings only applies within Greater London under the Deregulation Act 2015. However, using residential property for short lets over extended periods without planning permission outside London may constitute an offence. Whether inside or outside London, councils already have powers to issue planning enforcement notices against properties breaching planning regulations, and may impose fines against homeowners of up to £20,000.</p> answering member constituency Tatton answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 21/01/2020 17:53:02 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey
