answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>The tax treaty with Malawi has been renegotiated, though signature has been delayed by a number of factors. Although the UK’s starting point in negotiations is based closely on the OECD model double taxation convention, the Government recognises that developing countries may have a preference for some of the provisions of the UN model. Treaties the UK has recently signed demonstrate that we are willing to accommodate some of those preferences as part of a balanced agreement.</p> answering member constituency Battersea answering member printed Jane Ellison question first answered 26/07/2016 07:56:32 answering member 3918 label Biography information for Jane Ellison

tabling member constituency	Blaydon
tabling member printed	Mr David Anderson
uin	42999
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/08/2016 answer text <p>The Government is committed to addressing the supply of new land for housing. The Public Land for Housing programme has set an ambition to dispose of surplus government-owned land in England with capacity for at least 160,000 homes by 2020. And at Budget 2016 the Chancellor announced a local government land ambition to release land with the capacity for a further 160,000 homes. <br> <br> Individual local planning authorities will decide the type and number of homes developed on the land released - including those for disabled people - in order to meet local need. <br> <br> We have put in place new, flexible Building Regulations which allow local authorities to apply appropriate access standards for new homes to meet the needs of their communities while ensuring that development can happen. Building regulations require minimum standards of accessibility for all new dwellings. Local authorities are able to set policies for a proportion of new development to be built to higher standards of accessibility in order to meet local needs in accordance with national planning policy and guidance. <br> <br> The Government is committed to helping older and disabled people to live independently and safely in their own homes for as a long as possible. The Disabled Facilities Grant funds the provision of home adaptations (including stair lifts, level access showers and in some instances home extensions) to help older and disabled people to live as comfortably, safely and independently as possible in their own homes for longer. Since 2010 we have invested over a billion pounds into the grant providing around 250,000 adaptations to older and disabled people's homes in England. <br> <br> Government is also boosting the supply of specialised housing through the Care and Support Specialised Housing Fund, with 79 schemes receiving more than £84.2 million to develop up to 2,000 affordable homes over the next few years.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 01/08/2016 10:42:55 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
