answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/07/2021 answer text <p>EWS1 is not a Government form or regulatory requirement, and it is not a safety certificate. EWS1 was created by industry to help with mortgage valuations for flats in blocks with cladding. It is designed to identify whether a block is likely to need value-affecting remediation work.</p><p>On the 8 March, RICS published its updated EWS1 guidance to allow for a more proportionate approach to be taken. It outlines clearly when the EWS1 process is required.</p><p>Most major lenders, representing roughly 80% of the whole mortgage market have adopted the approach in the RICS guidance or already take a significantly less risk averse approach. This makes clear the process is for financial valuation and not building safety.</p><p>We estimate nearly 500,000 homeowners should no longer need to produce an EWS1 to sell or re-mortgage.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 05/07/2021 15:48:20 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/06/2021 answer text <p>In January, Defra invited local authorities to complete a short survey on the impact of Covid-19 on their local air quality management (LAQM) activities to inform the publication of supplementary Covid-19 guidance on LAQM duties for English local authorities for the upcoming reporting year.</p><p> </p><p>The response from local authorities indicated that on the whole, submissions of local bias studies into the national survey were unaffected. This informed the decision to continue the release of the national bias adjustment factors within the usual cycle. As a result, the first round of National Diffusion Tube Bias Adjustment Factors for 2020 diffusion tube monitoring data were released in April 2021 and local authorities were notified. The national bias adjustment factors are available at <a href="https://eur03.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flaqm.defra.gov.uk%2Fbias-adjustment-factors%2Fnational-bias.html&amp;data=04%7C01%7Cemma.pryor%40defra.gov.uk%7Ce569fe245f02428ada1308d92b4b73a3%7C770a245002274c6290c74e38537f1102%7C1%7C0%7C637588425332718451%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=htPlkR1PG%2Bl%2BZ1K87M6x7plIONW%2BrA5F6oM9TO2mjLI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://laqm.defra.gov.uk/bias-adjustment-factors/national-bias.html</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Central Bedfordshire Council should therefore have the bias adjustment information they require in order to process 2020 air quality data for the Dunstable air quality management area. Should the council require further advice they should contact the LAQM Helpdesk.</p><p> </p><p>Defra provides technical support to local authorities via a dedicated LAQM Helpdesk (phone, email and webpage) to support local authorities in their monitoring and modelling efforts to ensure a consistent approach.</p> answering member constituency Taunton Deane answering member printed Rebecca Pow question first answered 10/06/2021 16:52:47 answering member 4522 label Biography information for Rebecca Pow
