answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2018 answer text <p>The Regulator of Social Housing operates independently within the framework set by legislation and sets its own criteria that applicants for registration must meet. Local authorities that own housing stock are automatically registered and private organisations such as housing associations can voluntarily apply to register. Any applicant that is eligible for registration and meets these criteria must be registered.</p><p>The current process of registration is designed to provide the Regulator of Social Housing with assurance that providers are well-managed and financially viable. Almost all new applicants for registration have plans to provide fewer than 100 homes. The Regulator intends to publish a document in the new year which sets out some of the common issues it sees in applications for registration which should be of help to potential applicants.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 12/12/2018 14:14:12 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.</p><p>While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. The distribution of branches is an operational matter of commercial judgement for Post Office management team. I have therefore asked Paula Vennells, the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to the hon Member on this matter. A copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of the House.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 10/12/2018 17:52:50 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
