uin	HL12345
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2018 answer text <p>Supported housing is an invaluable service for vulnerable people across the country. In August, we announced that we will undertake a review of housing related-support, to help us better understand how housing and support fit together. The review will give us a fuller picture into how housing-related support is provided for supported housing across England.</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 question first answered 21/12/2018 13:41:29 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

uin	202827
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2018 answer text <p>The ban on the use of combustible materials will apply to the external walls of all new buildings above 18 metres that contain flats. This is because the majority of fire related fatalities occur in ‘dwellings’ (76 per cent of fire related fatalities from 2010/11 to 2017/18). The ban will also apply to the external walls of new hospitals, residential care premises and student accommodation and dormitories in boarding schools over 18 metres following strong support for the ban to apply to these types of buildings.</p><p>The ban on the use of combustible materials is being focused on buildings where the risks are greatest. The external walls of high rise hotels, offices and other buildings outside the scope of the ban will still be required to adequately resist the spread of fire to meet the requirements of the Building Regulations.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 20/12/2018 12:09:10 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
