These problems relate to the eligibility criteria for entering the programme. The eligibility criteria are listed in the document “Financial Framework for the Expanded Troubled Families Programme” on page 8 (published April 2015:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409682/Financial_Framework_for_the_Expanded_Troubled_Families_Programme_april_2015.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/409682/Financial_Framework_for_the_Expanded_Troubled_Families_Programme_april_2015.pdf</a>).</p><p>A cost savings calculator which local authorities use to upload local costs will enable a national cost benefit analysis to be undertaken later in the programme using unit costs attached to outcomes from national administrative datasets and locally submitted costs data. Cost benefit analysis at local authority level will show any costs avoided and savings through the troubled families programme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 30/10/2017 16:26:47 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2017 answer text <p>As set out in my answer to the Hon Member for Denton and Reddish to Question UIN 49444 on 27 October 2016, ‘turning around’ a family was a phrase used in the first Troubled Families Programme (2012 – 2015). In the current programme (2015-2020), local authorities can claim results payments for families when they can demonstrate that significant and sustained progress has been made against every problem a family is facing, or that continuous employment has been achieved.</p><p>The programme aims to achieve significant and sustained improvement for up to 400,000 complex families with multiple high-cost problems families over its lifetime (2015-2020). The programme’s first annual report to Parliament (published in April 2017 - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-evaluation-of-the-troubled-families-programme-2015-to-2020</a>) reported that almost 53,000 families had already made significant and sustained progress, with 3 years of the programme left to run. The next update of these figures will be published at the end of this financial year.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 30/10/2017 16:29:28 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

tabling member constituency	Telford
tabling member printed	Lucy Allan
uin	108901
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2017 answer text <p>It is vital that as housing supply increases, the quality of new build homes continues to improve. In our Housing White paper, published earlier this year, we set out our ambition for a housing market that works for everyone. We expect all housing developers to deliver good quality housing, to deliver it on time, and to treat house buyers fairly.</p><p>Where something goes wrong, house builders and warranty providers should fulfil their obligations to put this right. The industry-led Consumer Code for Homebuilders, where applicable, also provides protection to purchasers of new homes.</p><p>Last year the All Party Parliamentary Group for Excellence in the Built Environment produced a report called <em>More Homes, Fewer Complaints</em>, which made a series of recommendations to improve quality and redress. One of their recommendations was to establish a New Homes Ombudsman. We are considering this as part of our wider ambition to improve redress arrangements in all parts of the housing market.</p><p>We also want to make the homebuying process cheaper, faster and less stressful. In October we launched a call for evidence on the home buying and selling process in order to gather views from industry about areas for improvement, and from the public about parts of the process they find most difficult to navigate.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 30/10/2017 16:56:14 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Lord Sharma
