answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/09/2018 answer text <p>The ban on letting agent fees to tenants was first announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement. An eight week public consultation ran from April to June 2017, which informed the provisions of the Tenant Fees Bill to ban letting fees paid by tenants. We published the Bill in draft on 1 November and it was scrutinised by the Housing, Communities and Local Government Committee. The Committee made a number of recommendations to refine the Bill on 29 March.</p><p>The Tenant Fees Bill was introduced to Parliament in the House of Commons on 2 May 2018, received its Second Reading on 21 May with unanimous support, and passed through Committee stage on 12 June. Report and Third Reading are scheduled for 5 September 2018 and the Bill will then move to the House of Lords. However, Parliamentary timetables are subject to change.</p><p>We are committed to bringing the ban on letting fees as soon as possible but implementation is subject to Parliamentary timetables. We do not expect the ban to be in force before spring 2019.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 04/09/2018 15:01:23 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>These reforms will see the same amount of funding as would have been available through Housing Benefit in 2020/21 made available as a grant to directly fund bed spaces instead. Everyone who would be eligible under the current system to have their housing costs met by housing benefit will continue to have their housing costs met through the short-term funding model.</p><p>We are listening to the views of the domestic abuse sector and are considering feedback through the current consultation which closed on 23 January.</p><p>In the meantime, we are carrying out a comprehensive review of how domestic abuse services, including refuge, are delivered locally. It will give us for the first time a robust picture of domestic abuse service provision for all victims across England. It will enable us to assess the impact of the Priorities for Domestic Abuse Services and identify any gaps in provision, so we have the best possible evidence on which to make decisions about future, sustainable funding for these vital services. The review will conclude in the summer.</p><p>The review will be informed by an audit of all local authority commissioned domestic abuse services. We have commissioned Ipsos MORI to lead this work. We are working with a wide range of stakeholders and other Government departments to ensure the audit is robust and supported by their data.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 16/04/2018 16:15:34 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
