answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>On 9 May the Government announced a fund for the remediation of unsafe Aluminium Composite Material cladding on all high-rise (over 18 metres) residential private sector buildings in England, excluding those which have had a warranty claim accepted. Where leaseholders have had to pay for remediation, the building owner or the managing agent on their behalf would be eligible to apply to the fund for a refund for those costs that would qualify under the terms of the fund. In this scenario, any funding agreement will contain a condition that ensures that funding is provided only on the basis that leaseholders are fully reimbursed. We will write to all potential fund applicants by the middle of May to start engaging them, and publish the full fund application guidance and criteria by mid-July.</p><p>In the meantime, my officials have been in contact with the managing agents for Paddington Walk. They are also in regular contact with the London Borough of Westminster.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 09/05/2019 13:08:20 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last summer we published the cross-government Rough Sleeping Strategy. This sets out an ambitious £100 million package to help people who sleep rough now, but also puts in place the structures that will end rough sleeping once and for all.</p><p>We have now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period. In its first year, our Rough Sleeping Initiative provided over 1,750 new bed spaces and 500 staff. This year we have expanded the RSI with investment of £46 million for 246 areas – providing funding for an estimated 2,600 bed spaces and 750 staff.</p><p>I commend the work that St Mungo’s and Homelessness Link are taking forward in this area. Deepening our understanding of homelessness, and its causes and consequences, are key to us tackling this issue. It is for this reason, we are undertaking a review of housing-related support services in order to build a comprehensive picture of current arrangements and how support and housing fit together.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 09/05/2019 13:25:41 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2019 answer text <p>The Government recognises that the provision of high quality,impartial, information and advice in England is an important service which older people, and their relatives and carers should have access to in order to make informed choices. The Department of Health and Social Care has set out that one of the key principles that will guide thinking ahead of the Social Care Green Paper is control. This involves ensuring that individuals and families have the ability to direct the support they receive, the autonomy to lead the lives they want, and access to reliable information.</p><p>On 28 March, we announced our plans to implement the majority of the Law Commission’s recommendations to reform event fees in leasehold retirement properties. One of the key requirements of these recommendations is a statutorily backed requirement to ensure consumers have the necessary information to make an informed choice when purchasing their retirement property.( <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-28/HCWS1466" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2019-03-28/HCWS1466</a>)</p><p>My Department published the revised National Planning Policy Framework in July 2018 and this specifies that local planning authorities are expected to have planning policies which identify the size, type and tenure of homes needed for different groups in the community including older people. We will shortly be publishing further guidance to help councils put these policies in place. My Department, together with Department of Health and Social Care, also grant funds new supply of supported housing (with 34,000 new units delivered since 2011) including for older vulnerable people. With our announcement last year that funding for housing costs for supported accommodation would continue to be paid through Housing Benefit, we are putting in place the right funding and oversight environment which will give confidence to investors and to the sector, to continue to develop new supply of supported housing.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 09/05/2019 13:24:22 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
