uin	HL2756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>While the Government wants to support those who aspire to be homeowners, we appreciate that this is not everyone’s aspiration and that there are many people for whom renting a home is either more practical or affordable. There therefore needs to be a thriving private rental sector to accommodate these people’s housing needs.</p><p> </p><p>In Q2 this year, 13.6% of new advances were buy-to-let mortgages. The government does not hold data on the number of buy-to-let mortgages on variable or fixed rates.</p><p> </p><p>The pricing of mortgages and rents remain commercial decisions for lenders and landlords respectively, and the Government does not seek to intervene in these decisions. The Government is, however, providing millions of the most vulnerable households with financial support with the cost of living this year.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie grouped question UIN HL2755 question first answered 27/10/2022 12:54:45 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

tabling member printed	Baroness Liddell of Coatdyke
uin	HL2756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2020 answer text <p>Carbon Capture, Usage and Storage (CCUS) and hydrogen are likely to play an essential role in helping the UK achieve net zero by 2050. For example, our analysis suggests that around 270TWh of hydrogen could be needed across the economy by 2050, which could increase considerably depending on application across heat and transport sectors. Low carbon hydrogen could be produced through gas reformation with CCUS, electrolysis, or biomass gasification. The precise split of this across end uses will depend on a variety of factors including cost, availability and technical application.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 27/03/2020 13:54:24 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are their reasons for proposing an extended three-year transition period from April 2015 for the implementation of section 74 of the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013, in the light of the current extent of counterfeiting.
tabling member printed	Lord Clement-Jones
uin	HL2756
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2014 answer text The Government’s reasons for proposing a three-year transition period for implementing s74 Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013 are set out in its recent consultation which concluded on 27 October 2014 (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/transitional-provisions-for-the-repeal-of-section-52-of-the-cdpa). This does not represent an extended transition period but the Government’s provisional judgement as to the shortest reasonable period, taking into account the needs of both right owners and those using the current law to trade lawfully. The Government is considering the evidence it received and will make its decision on transitional provisions in the light of this. Current items made under the aegis of s52 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 would not be considered counterfeits. Counterfeit products (i.e. goods which falsely carry the trade mark of a genuine brand without permission) are already subject to legal sanction under separate trade mark legislation. answering member printed Baroness Neville-Rolfe question first answered 21/11/2014 13:06:54 answering member 4284 label Biography information for Baroness Neville-Rolfe
