	answer	answer answer text <p>The Department for Communities and Local Government is working closely with the Department of Health on how we improve access to mental health services for rough sleepers, or those at risk of homelessness in England. The Government has committed over £1 billion until 2020 to local authorities to reduce homelessness and rough sleeping and has supported the Homelessness Reduction Act – due to commence in April 2018. The Act will ensure that people who are in need of assistance get the support they need before becoming homeless.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is also supporting 84 projects, some specifically funding mental health interventions, across 205 district and unitary local authorities in England through its £50 million Homelessness Prevention Programme offering tailored support services for people who need it and rapid support for people to make a sustainable recovery from homelessness.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also set an aim to halve rough sleeping by 2022 and eliminate it entirely by 2027. We are setting up a rough sleeping and homelessness taskforce and piloting a Housing First approach to tackle rough sleeping.</p><p> </p><p>We expect local authorities, NHS England and clinical commissioning groups to all play a crucial role in achieving these. NHS England has published guidance for general practices and patients to ensure that homeless patients are still able to access primary care services. Public Health England’s guidance ‘Improving health through the home’ provides a single point of access to wide-ranging authoritative information on data, evaluation, evidence and research related to homelessness to support providers and commissioners, such as good practice prompts for commissioning for homeless people with drug or alcohol problems.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>Taxi and private hire vehicle (PHV) services must be accessible to those who rely upon them, and disability awareness training can be effective in equipping drivers with the skills and knowledge to provide all passengers with the assistance they require. The Department is currently considering the responses to the consultation on the draft Accessibility Action Plan which will inform the updated Best Practice Guidance for taxi and PHV licensing authorities. It is the Department’s expectation that the guidance will include a recommendation that authorities should use their existing powers to require prospective drivers to complete disability awareness and equality training.</p><p> </p><p>I announced in a Westminster Hall debate that I would be setting up a working group to consider current issues concerning taxi and PHV licensing, reporting its findings to me in the new year.</p>

	answer	answer answer text <p>The UK’s trade remedies regime will provide robust protections for UK industry suffering from injury, caused by dumped or subsidised imports, or unforeseen import surges. To ensure these protections are proportionate, the regime will set measures at the level necessary to address the injury to UK industry (known as the lesser duty rule), and apply an economic interest test as part of the independent investigation process (similar to the existing Union interest test in the EU).</p><p>We have been engaging with stakeholders on how these elements of the regime will work in practice, and are committed to continuing that engagement. This process will also be informed by economic research commissioned by this Department through public tender to provide evidence on the design and implementation of a future trade remedies framework.</p>
