We are working closely with partners, including the EU and UN, to consider a range of options to promote an end to the crisis in Venezuela. The most recent discussion at EU level took place on 12 September. The Lima Group of Foreign Ministers met in the margins of the UN General Assembly on 20 September and will re-convene in Canada in October. Any solution to the current crisis in Venezuela must come from the region. The Minister for Europe and the Americas is working closely with Peru's Foreign Minister, Ricardo Luna, in support of Peru's regional leadership. We will continue to work with partners to consider a wide range of options to prevent further violence and alleviate the suffering of ordinary Venezuelans.<\/p>

Despite the FCO Hotline taking more than 3500 calls since 8 September, we are relieved that the number of Hurricane-related casualties in the Overseas Territories has been low, partly due to preparedness in the Overseas Territories and a quick Government response. In addition to providing humanitarian assistance in the region, we are working closely with the Overseas Territories to support recovery and reconstruction, £62 million has been committed to date. Establishing an accurate number of those missing in affected Overseas Territories is difficult while relief and reconstruction is continuing, however we believe the number is low.<\/p>

We are clear that new homes should be built out as soon as possible once planning permission is granted. Indeed, all planning permissions are time-limited: if building does not commence within the time period specified in the planning permission, it will lapse.<\/p>
It is important to recognise that there are a variety of reasons that might prevent development starting once permission has been granted, some of which are beyond the control of developers. That is why our Housing White Paper proposed taking a wide-ranging approach to ensure planning permissions are converted into much-need homes as swiftly as possible. The proposals aim to do so by:<\/p>
Diversifying the range of players in the housebuilding sector.<\/p><\/li>
Tackling barriers to developments with planning permission from starting on site, including delays to the delivery of essential infrastructure.<\/p><\/li>
Holding local authorities and developers more clearly to account for the delivery of new homes.<\/p><\/li>
Increasing transparency about the timing and pace of housing delivery.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/ul>
We have already made progress on some key proposals, such as the recent announcement of the £2.3 billion Housing Infrastructure Fund.<\/p>
Views were sought on a number of proposed tools to hold developers more closely to account. The White Paper proposals included encouraging greater scrutiny of a site\u2019s delivery prospects where earlier permissions have not been implemented; encouraging local authorities to set shorter timescales for implementing permissions; and more streamlined procedures for serving a completion notice. We are currently considering the response to these proposals.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4014", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Reading West"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alok Sharma"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-29T09:36:35.037Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Housing: Construction"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what his policy is on ensuring housing developers convert planning permissions into homes.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4105", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Justin Tomlinson"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North Swindon"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Justin Tomlinson"} ], "uin" : "8848"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/755652", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/755652/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government will guarantee EU Structural and Investment fund projects signed before we leave the EU, even where these continue after we leave. Beyond these priorities, decisions on the replacement of EU funding will be taken in light of wider UK strategic priorities and other domestic spending decisions. As we transition to longer-term arrangements, we will ensure the devolved administrations are treated fairly and their circumstances are taken into account.
