question text	Her Majesty's Government what is their estimate of the number of faulty new-build homes being sold in England; and whether they intend to discuss that issue further with the housebuilding industry.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL11
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government makes no estimate of faulty new build homes. In our Housing White paper we set out our ambition for a housing market that works for everyone. We expect all housing developers to deliver good quality housing, deliver it on time and to treat house buyers fairly, resolving any problems quickly. All new homes are also subject to supervision by Building Control – local authorities and approved inspectors. DCLG Minsters will continue to raise the issue of quality regularly when they meet with the industry.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 03/07/2017 16:42:42 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that women in safe houses and refuges who need to keep their address anonymous are not prevented from voting.
tabling member printed	Lord Chadlington
uin	HL11
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/05/2016 answer text <p>Electors who need to keep their name and address anonymous are able to submit an application for anonymous registration. As part of their application, electors must satisfy the Electoral Registration Officer that their safety, or that of people they live with, would be at risk if the register contained their name and address. For this purpose electors must provide either a court order or an attestation by a “qualifying officer”, which includes senior police officers and chief social workers. The evidential threshold for applications for anonymous electoral registration is to ensure that it is available only to those whose personal safety would genuinely be at risk if their details appeared on the electoral register, rather than for the purpose of gaining additional privacy.</p> answering member printed Lord Bridges of Headley question first answered 31/05/2016 13:37:54 answering member 4535 label Biography information for Lord Bridges of Headley

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL11
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/06/2015 answer text <p>We are concerned about the closure of the Rafah Pedestrian Crossing and the impact that has, particularly on urgent medical and other priority cases in Gaza. The crossing has been mostly closed since the start of the year while the Egyptian government construct a buffer zone, though we understand the crossing has been opened in recent days for entry into Gaza.</p><p>We have encouraged the Egyptian authorities to ease the movement of bona fide travellers through Rafah, and in the longer term to consider expanding Rafah to passenger transit and humanitarian goods transit, which will help to ease humanitarian pressures. The Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my right hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond), raised the importance of reopening the Rafah crossing when he spoke with the Egyptian Foreign Minister on 14 January. We continue to raise this issue in our contacts with the Egyptian government.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 02/06/2015 14:56:03 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
