answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2022 answer text <p>The Department does not hold data on the average cost of building a house, including the purchase of land. The Department has published 'Land Value Estimates for policy appraisal 2019'. These show at local level the value of agricultural land before development. They also show the residual land value after development (broken down by residential, commercial and industrial). These tables, as well as guidance for their use, can be found online at gov.uk <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fland-value-estimates-for-policy-appraisal-2019&amp;data=05%7C01%7CParliamentary%40levellingup.gov.uk%7C025bca07628c423f8a7808dade874793%7Cbf3468109c7d43dea87224a2ef3995a8%7C0%7C0%7C638066969836840988%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=PI54tHWwpctZ%2F85jN1nff2zP9dnOrpuI5fdORCRCVvw%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 15/12/2022 17:19:22 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what steps her Department is taking to help ensure that sure homes in Hampshire that are not included in the gigabit broadband tendering process by suppliers can still get superfast broadband.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2022 answer text <p>In Hampshire, just over 97% of premises can access superfast broadband (&gt;=30Mbps), which is in line with the UK national average.</p><p>As part of Project Gigabit, we have launched a regional procurement in Hampshire, to bring gigabit-capable broadband to up to 88,000 hard-to-reach premises that are not included in suppliers’ commercial build plans. We have also launched a local procurement in the New Forest area, which will connect an estimated further 10,000 premises. The two contracts have a combined indicative value of almost £120 million and we aim to award contracts between April and June 2023.</p><p>Eligible premises in Hampshire can also receive a gigabit-capable connection through the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme. We recently announced an increase in the value of these vouchers so that new projects can receive as much as £4,500 towards the cost of installing gigabit-capable broadband in rural and particularly hard-to-reach areas.</p><p>For the very hardest to reach premises which are unlikely to receive gigabit-capable connectivity via either a commercial or government funded delivery mechanism, the Government is determined to explore all possible options to improve their broadband connectivity, including solutions such as satellite and fixed wireless access technologies.</p> answering member constituency Hornchurch and Upminster answering member printed Julia Lopez question first answered 14/12/2022 13:47:16 answering member 4647 label Biography information for Julia Lopez

uin	101754
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>The Government sets noise-related restrictions at the noise-designated airports (Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted) and ensures these airports assess their noise impacts on an annual basis. For these designated airports, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) produces noise exposure contours. These inform Government of areas significantly affected by aircraft movements, and therefore those communities most likely to suffer aircraft noise-related health outcomes, which should be prioritised by policy interventions.</p><p> </p><p>At other airports, restrictions are set locally, usually through the planning system. It is the responsibility of the local planning authority to conduct any necessary noise assessment and to enforce any restrictions.</p><p> </p><p>Major airports with more than 50,000 movements per year are also obliged under the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006, as amended, to produce noise maps and Noise Action Plans. Current Noise Action Plans cover the period 2019-2023, while the next round of planning will cover the period 2024-2028.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/12/2022 17:00:06 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2022 answer text <p>Industry is already running more trains on working days, when more passengers are likely to travel to and from work, and on Saturdays, when many passengers use the railway for leisure. The train operating companies will use the December 2022 timetable change to make significant changes to the national timetable to improve the service passengers receive, and continue to tailor their offer to demand.
