tabling member printed	Lord Trefgarne
uin	HL242
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2020 answer text <p>The Government does not collect this information centrally. The annual rough sleeping snapshot for 2019 will be released on 27 February 2020. In addition, the Greater London Authority will release their CHAIN data on 31 January 2020, which will provide details on people seen sleeping rough in Greater London in September - December 2019, including details on ex-service personnel.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has allocated over £1.2 billion through to 2020 to tackle all forms of homelessness. In London this includes:</p><ul><li>Over £24.5 million of Rough Sleeping Initiative funding (over £6 million of which went direct to the GLA) for local authorities to tackle rough sleeping in their areas and have an immediate impact on the levels of rough sleeping. This has provided over 1000 bed spaces and around 200 staff in the capital.</li><li>The £50 million London portion of the Move-on Fund which was allocated to the GLA. This will contribute towards the capital costs of developing move-on accommodation for people leaving homelessness hostels and refuges for survivors of domestic abuse.</li><li>£9.5 million of Rapid Rehousing Pathway funding (over £2.3 million of which went direct to the GLA). This approach includes funding for Somewhere Safe to Stay hubs, specialist Navigators, the establishment of Local Lettings Agencies and funding for Supported Lettings initiatives.</li><li>£9.2 million from the Private Rented Sector Access scheme to fund a range of approaches including innovative transitional insurance policy to providing incentives to landlords to offer longer term tenancies.</li><li>£1 million since Oct 2017 towards the Rough Sleeping Social Impact Bond. This is a payment-by-results programme funded by MHCLG, targeting the most entrenched rough sleepers with multiple complex needs in 7 regional projects. As of June, 200 people have entered accommodation in London. The GLA have put £1m of their own funding into this project.</li></ul> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 21/01/2020 16:58:27 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

uin	HL418
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2019 answer text <p>The Companion to the Standing Orders and Guide to the Proceedings of the House of Lords states that a private notice question (PNQ) gives members of the House the opportunity to raise urgent matters on any sitting day. The Lord Speaker, after consultation, considers whether the question is of sufficient urgency and importance to justify an immediate reply. The Procedure Committee’s 2nd Report of Session 2009-10 (HL Paper 51), recommended that the Lord Speaker’s decision, in respect of the admissibility of PNQs, be considered final. The House agreed this report on 16 March 2010.</p> answering member printed Lord McFall of Alcluith question first answered 05/11/2019 13:10:10 answering member 4148 label Biography information for Lord McFall of Alcluith

uin	HL174
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2019 answer text <p>The Department for Transport is currently considering responses to a recent consultation on amending street works permit conditions relating to portable traffic signals and pavement working. We are encouraging the minority of authorities that have not yet moved to a permit scheme to do so as these are a more effective way of planning and managing street works. In 2018, the Government announced that authorities outside London and Kent, where pioneer schemes already existed, would also now have the option of operating a street works lane rental scheme to manage the impact of works on their busiest roads at busy times.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has invested £10m in Street Manager, a new digital system for planning and coordinating street works, which will be used nationwide from April 2020. The Department is currently updating the technical guidance document, “Specification for the Reinstatement of Openings in Highways”, to bring it up to date and support innovation in the sector. Finally, the Department is starting to consider improvements to the street works inspection regime.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Vere of Norbiton question first answered 31/10/2019 13:43:52 answering member 4580 label Biography information for Baroness Vere of Norbiton
