question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what (1) equality impact assessment, and (2) business and regulatory impact assessment, they have conducted in relation to the build-to-rent sector.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL5045
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/02/2023 answer text <p>Our main intervention in the Build to Rent sector has been the Build to Rent Fund, which was introduced in 2013-14. As part of this process, a full assessment of the economic and commercial case for intervention was undertaken. Changes to the National Planning Policy Framework, including referring explicitly to Build to Rent, were consulted on in 2017 and this consultation included a summary equalities statement which considered the impact of the completion of more Build to Rent and Affordable Market Rent homes. The assessment made was that an increase in Affordable Private Rent homes are not likely to have any negative impact on overall affordable housing provision, and that the greater availability of rented homes as a result of these policies, both at market rent and Affordable Private Rent, will improve housing outcomes for people living in rented housing, including people with protected characteristics, notwithstanding some level of reduction in the number of affordable homes to be delivered by Build to Rent schemes under other tenures.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 07/02/2023 15:54:30 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

uin	HL5045
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/01/2018 answer text <p>The UK is fully committed to transferring the specified number of 480 unaccompanied children under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016 as soon as possible</p><p>As part of the Sandhurst Treaty, signed between the UK and France on 18 January 2018, we committed to deploying a UK Liaison Officer to France by 1 April 2018 to facilitate cooperation on unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. We already have secondees based in Italy and Greece working on transfers of unaccompanied children to the UK under both the Dublin Regulation and section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016.</p><p>However, as set out in our published policy statement, it is for France, Greece and Italy to refer potentially eligible children under section 67 of the Immigration Act as the children are on their territory. The UK must operate within the national laws of our partner countries.</p><p>In addition, after extensive discussion with France, Greece and Italy, we have agreed to amend the eligibility date on an exceptional basis to ensure we can transfer the circa. 260 remaining unaccompanied children and meet our obligation under section 67 of the Immigration Act 2016. The Government had previously insisted on the previous eligibility date of 20 March 2016 to avoid establishing an open-ended relocation scheme from Europe, as this would increase the pull factor that puts children’s lives at risk.</p><p>The UK and France share a special relationship and have a strong track record of cooperating with France to manage migration and to protect our shared border. The primary responsibility for refugees and migrants lies with the authorities of the country in which they are present. France has many of the same international obligations towards those on its territory as the UK, and President Macron has made clear that French authorities should behave in an exemplary manner.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford grouped question UIN HL5046 HL5047 question first answered 29/01/2018 16:50:21 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

Human Rights Watch also reported ongoing concerns about threats to freedom of expression. We will follow developments in these areas closely</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 09/03/2015 16:25:42 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
