uin	HL12162
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2018 answer text <p>The latest rough sleeping figures for the number of rough sleepers in England is the 2017 annual count, available (attached) online at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/rough-sleeping-in-england-autumn-2017</a> . Results of the 2018 annual count will be released in January 2019. Following the publication of the Rough Sleeping Strategy in August, significant work has been underway across departments to deliver the commitments made. I was pleased to recently publish (attached) a delivery plan (<a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rough-sleeping-strategy-delivery-plan" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rough-sleeping-strategy-delivery-plan</a> ) setting out progress to date and key milestones in the coming months. In 2019 we will publish the first annual update to the strategy, building on our existing work and delivering new interventions where our evidence shows they are needed.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why this 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. The Government has now committed over £1.2 billion to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping over the spending review period.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth attachment 1 file name 181219 Rough Sleeping Autumn 2017 Statistical Release - HL12162.pdf title Rough Sleeping figures 2 file name 181219 RSS delivery plan HL12162.pdf title Rough Sleeping delivery plan question first answered 19/12/2018 13:04:31 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of a decline in shopper footfall on UK high street stores.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL12167
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/12/2018 answer text <p>Over the last five years high street footfall across the UK has fallen by an average of 1.6 per cent each year. This represents a consistent but relatively slow decline in high street footfall nationally. We know that footfall trends vary greatly from place to place, with some towns faring much better than others.</p><p>High streets are a crucial part of our communities. The Government is determined to see our high streets thriving, both now and in the future. We want to see vibrant hubs where people live, shop, use services, and spend their leisure time.</p><p>This is why we have announced Our Plan for the High Street at budget. This includes cutting business rates by a third for up to 90 per cent of retail properties for two years, a High Streets Task Force to support local leadership, consultation on planning reform and a register of empty properties.</p><p>To support the long-term adaptation of high streets, we are creating a £675 million Future High Streets Fund. We will be publishing a prospectus for the Fund shortly.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 19/12/2018 13:05:55 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
