I note that so far all bills associated with Brexit have been scheduled in accordance with the minimum intervals recommended in The Companion. As the Noble Lord will recall, from time to time the recommended minimum intervals have, with Usual Channels agreement, been dispensed with when it has been necessary for the House to do so. I undertake to work with my counterparts in the usual channels to ensure that business continues to be scheduled in a way which allows proper scrutiny.</p> answering member printed Baroness Evans of Bowes Park question first answered 21/01/2019 15:46:36 answering member 4329 label Biography information for Baroness Evans of Bowes Park

My Department will be notifying the local authority of the outcome very shortly. Nottinghamshire is also one of the 45 areas across England with whom we are working to co-develop Forward Funding projects with up to £4.6 billion of funding available to unlock a potential 450,000 homes in areas where housing need is greatest. For Forward Funding schemes in co-development, there is no guarantee of funding. It is still a competitive process, and following co-development, these areas will be required to submit business cases prior to final funding decisions being made.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 16/01/2019 16:33:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

This is done at the local or mayoral authority level. For this reason we do not hold data on the total number of hostel spaces available in London, nor specific data on those rough sleepers with dogs.</p><p>However, the government does commission Homeless Link to conduct annual reviews on single homelessness support, which includes the number of hostel bed spaces (and void bed spaces) in the capital, and across the country.

For example, the new St Mungo’s RSI hostel in Bristol takes clients with dogs, as does emergency accommodation in St Edmundsbury and Nottingham. The RSI funded floating London hub – that moves between boroughs and is currently in Westminster – also accepts dogs into their service. Moreover, as a result of RSI funding, Birmingham has linked closely with Dogs On the Streets (DOTS). This organisation has significantly helped in working with entrenched rough sleepers who have dogs and other pets. As with the complex needs of any rough sleeper, we try and ensure someone having a dog, or any pet, is not a barrier to them getting the help they require.</p><p>This Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>The department collects annual data on looked after children in independent living, with or without live-in support. These figures are given in the attached table. This information is not broken down to bed and breakfast accommodation, adult hostels, campsites or independent living placements without live-in support. Securing suitable accommodation that meets the needs of looked after children is a vital step in delivering improved outcomes for this vulnerable group.</p><p>The number of children in independent living increased by 29% between 2010 and 2018. This category includes accommodation such as a flat, lodgings, bedsit, bed and breakfast or living with friends. Live-in visiting support may be included as part of this package. Care should be taken when interpreting this rise because changes to the collection resulted in improvements in the accuracy of reporting placements. The figures for 2015 and earlier years are therefore not comparable with later years and any assessment of trends should take this into account.</p><p>The department collects and publishes data on 17 year old care leavers who are accommodated in bed and breakfasts and emergency accommodation.
