The Government is currently engaging with a range of stakeholders to consider how to improve council tax collection. Following those discussions, we intend to publish updated guidance on good collection practices, before considering the scope of further reforms. The Government is clear that imprisonment should only ever be the last resort for non-payment of council tax. Before a magistrates\u2019 court commits someone to prison for failure to pay their council tax, it must inquire as to the debtor\u2019s means, and satisfy itself that failure to pay is due to \u201cwilful refusal or culpable neglect\u201d. This is to prevent persons who are genuinely unable to pay their council tax from being committed to prison.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4483", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Rishi Sunak"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Richmond (Yorks)"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Rishi Sunak"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-06-18", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-06-18T13:38:21.303Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Housing, Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-06-11", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Council Tax: Non-payment"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what plans he has to bring forward legislative proposals to amend The Council Tax (Administration and Enforcement) Regulations 1992 to remove the sanction of imprisonment for non-payment of council tax.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4034", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Yvonne Fovargue"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Makerfield"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Yvonne Fovargue"} ], "uin" : "263138"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1131246", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1131246/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The National Planning Policy Framework requires developments to incorporate an appropriate amount of green and other public space. It also states that greater weight should be given to designs which promote high levels of sustainability. We recognise that green roofs can improve the thermal performance of buildings. The Building Regulations set minimum energy performance standards for new homes and non-domestic buildings. The principal way that developers demonstrate compliance is through a whole building energy calculation. For a new building, the properties of green roofs would be taken into account in the calculation of overall energy performance and therefore the carbon emissions from the building.<\/p>

Progress has been made on improving standards of decency in social housing. The number of social homes failing to meet the Decent Homes Standard is down 32 per cent since 2010.<\/p>

The Social Housing Green Paper \u2018A new deal for social housing\u2019 (August 2018) recognised that the Decent Homes Standard has not been revised since 2006 and asked whether it should be reviewed to consider whether it delivers the right standards for social housing. We are assessing the consultation responses and are finalising our response.<\/p>

The Government also supported the Homes (Fitness for Human Habitation) Act 2018 which will require social landlords to ensure that their properties are free from potentially serious hazards at the start of and throughout a tenancy.<\/p>
