answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2021 answer text <p>The Government carefully considers how its policies will affect communities across the country. For example, each year, we conduct an assessment of the equality impacts of the annual Local Government Finance Settlement and publish a statement on the Gov UK website. As the equality statement makes clear, this year the Government made available an increase in overall Core Spending Power of 4.6% in cash terms and ensured that no local authority saw a reduction in Core Spending Power compared to 2020-21, which benefitted all those with protected characteristics. These increases build on the largest year-on-year increase in spending power in a decade in 2020-21.</p><p>Reducing health inequalities will also be a core aim of the new Office of Health Promotion (OHP). The OHP will systematically tackle the top preventable risk factors, improving the public's health and narrowing health inequalities. It will set health improvement priorities for government, and will work with the whole of government, the NHS, local government, industry and wider partners to deliver on these priorities.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 26/07/2021 14:34:36 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2021 answer text <p>We expect responsible entities (such as a management agency appointed by the building owner) to inform all leaseholders and residents if they apply for Government funding. Responsible entities also should provide regular updates to leaseholders and residents on the progress of their funding application and works. This is set out clearly in the prospectus and applications guidance for the Private Sector ACM Remediation Fund, the Building Safety Fund and the Waking Watch Relief Fund, available at: <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fguidance%2Fbuilding-safety-programme&amp;data=04%7C01%7CBSP_PQ%40communities.gov.uk%7Ce4d025c8e9e44eae168108d8e4b51500%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C637510813675549587%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=UTpGXZUZERjtQu3WwE577qsonJEj9sO4m7%2FjFxxXOEo%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">www.gov.uk/guidance/building-safety-programme.</a></p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 15/03/2021 16:25:54 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2021 answer text <p>Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) hold significant value in allowing different data-sets associated with buildings to be linked together. My Department will seek to utilise this where possible, enabling all data users to have a well-rounded view on information that relates to each building</p><p><br> However, local authorities already have a range of tools available to them to take the most appropriate enforcement action including placing landlords on to the Database of Rogue Landlords and Property Agents where the landlord meets the criteria. Where a landlord has received a Banning order the local authority must place them on the database, where the landlord has received a conviction for a banning order offence or 2 or more civil penalties for housing related offences then the local authority has discretion to make an entry</p><p><br> For properties that require an annual gas safety check (under regulation 36 of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations), there is already a requirement to include details of the property address on the associated records. There are no plans to extend the requirements to include the UPRN on the safety check record and there has been no assessment of the potential merits of introducing targeted enforcement measures for the compulsory inclusion of a UPRN for gas safety certificates. At this time, we are not making an assessment of a connection between UPRNs and mortgages.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 25/02/2021 17:09:26 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
