uin	117876
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>Local authorities already have very broad compulsory purchase powers, which can be used to support the delivery of a range of development and infrastructure projects. Through both the Housing and Planning Act 2016 and Neighbourhood Planning Act 2017, the Government is taking forward a substantial package of reforms to make the compulsory purchase process clearer, fairer and faster for all.</p><p>We are keen for local authorities to make use of these new provisions, which include replacing often conflicting case law on compulsory purchase compensation with a clearer basis for identifying market value. This will allow negotiations on compensation to proceed with more speed and certainty. We will keep the operation of these reforms under review and consider whether further reforms are necessary.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 14/12/2017 17:08:15 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2017 answer text <p>Government supports Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and incineration of waste to produce Combined Heat and Power (CHP) as they are both efficient renewable technologies that offer significant carbon savings.</p><p> </p><p>Both AD and incineration to produce CHP act as a form of waste management, reducing the amount of waste going to landfill and so reducing greenhouse gas emissions.</p><p> </p><p>We have not undertaken a comparative assessment as food waste is more suited to anaerobic digestion than incineration processes. It has a high moisture content which needs to be removed by heat before it will burn. Incineration technologies will tend to use other fuels such as municipal solid waste.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 14/12/2017 11:34:55 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
