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

You are able to find these statistics at the following link: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-homelessness" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-homelessness</a>.</p><p>The Government is committed to reducing homelessness and rough sleeping. No one should ever have to sleep rough. That is why last 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 constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 11/01/2019 14:22:13 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to amend the Housing Act 2004 so that clauses in long leases which would cause the ground rent to exceed the statutory levels set out in that Act will be void for derogation of grant.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>Where ground rents exceed £250 per year or £1,000 per year in London, a leaseholder is classed as an assured tenant. This has the effect of bringing some leaseholders within the ambit of Ground 8 of Part 1 to Schedule 2 of the Housing Act 1988. This means, for even small sums of arrears, leaseholders could be subject to a mandatory possession order if they were to default on payment of ground rent. This is a disproportionate remedy that was never intended for leaseholders. As part of our leasehold reform work we are committed to legislating for provisions which ensure that leaseholders will not be subject to Ground 8 mandatory possession orders for arrears of ground rent. We will bring forward the necessary legislation as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 11/01/2019 12:57:41 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2019 answer text <p>The Secretary of State held a roundtable meeting in November in which he made clear to developers that greater support must be made available to existing leaseholders with onerous lease terms. Some developers have introduced schemes to assist individuals with onerous leases which is welcome, but these must be extended to include second hand buyers. We are keeping a close eye on progress and will consider taking further action if necessary.</p><p>We are also working with the Law Commission to support existing leaseholders. The Law Commission’s consultation on making buying a freehold or extending a lease easier, faster, fairer and cheaper, which closed on 7 January, included proposals for a prescribed formula for costs.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 11/01/2019 13:05:40 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler
