answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2024 answer text <p>We have put in place a temporary, short-term pause in the determination of certain environmental permits for new waste incineration facilities. During the pause period, Defra officials are leading a scoping exercise to consider the need for a review of the role of further waste incineration facilities giving regard to Defra’s resources and waste objectives and wider government environmental and decarbonisation objectives and obligations. The work being led by Defra officials is ongoing and it would be wrong to pre-judge the outcome of this scoping exercise. Next steps will be announced in due course.</p> answering member constituency Sherwood answering member printed Sir Mark Spencer question first answered 20/05/2024 14:46:30 answering member 4055 label Biography information for Sir Mark Spencer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2023 answer text <p>There are no current plans to change subsidy rules in Supported Housing which are in place to help ensure quality and value for money for taxpayers. Under the Housing Benefit subsidy arrangements, DWP reimburses local authorities for the cost of Housing Benefit in their respective areas subject to the rules set out in legislation. For supported housing cases, 100% subsidy is usually paid to the local authority by DWP where the landlord or provider is registered with the Regulator for Social Housing in England. In cases where the landlord or provider is not registered, the subsidy will still be payable to local authorities, but will be restricted in line with the rules set out in legislation.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 20/11/2023 15:53:08 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
