The 2021 Net Zero Strategy set out Government's ambition to help the construction sector improve reporting on embodied carbon in buildings and confirmed we are exploring the potential of maximum embodied carbon levels in new buildings in the future.<\/p>
We have taken action to reduce the in-use emissions of buildings by introducing an uplift to energy efficiency regulations in 2021 and will shortly consult on the Future Homes and Buildings Standards which will see new homes net zero ready from 2025 onwards, thus requiring no further retrofit work as the electricity grid decarbonises. The energy performance of new buildings can be assessed by viewing the associated Energy Performance Certificates which are publicly available and are produced when the building is completed.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4652", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lee Rowley"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "North East Derbyshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lee Rowley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-09-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-09-04T20:06:39.297Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Buildings: Carbon Emissions"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what measures his Department has in place to (a) regulate the carbon footprint of new buildings; and in what way those regulations are monitored and (b) reported on for new builds.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4124", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chi Onwurah"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newcastle upon Tyne Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Chi Onwurah"} ], "uin" : "195301"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654622", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654622/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Serious Violence Reduction Orders (SVROs) are a new civil order being piloted in four police forces: Thames Valley, Merseyside, Sussex, and West Midlands. The orders provide the police the powers to stop and search convicted knife offenders.<\/p>
These four forces have been selected as they have the required volume of knife crime or offensive weapons offenders per force as well as a wide range of demographics to test the impact and effectiveness of the orders. Piloting in these four forces also allows for the effectiveness of SVROs to be tested in both urban and semi-urban forces.<\/p>
SVROs are being robustly evaluated by our independent evaluator, Ecorys. Following the conclusion of the pilot we will lay a report in Parliament on the operation of the pilot, which will include full details on the number of SVROs issued and the related stop and search and arrest data.<\/p>
In addition, the Home Office has expanded its 2023/24 stop and search data collection to capture information on searches which have taken place under a Serious Violence Reduction Order. These data will be available at Police Force Area level and are likely to be published at the end of 2024.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-09-04", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "195365"} , {"_value" : "195366"} , {"_value" : "195367"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-09-04T08:52:56.94Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-07-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Serious Violence Reduction Orders"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on what basis the (a) number and (b) location of the Serious Violence Reduction Orders pilot police areas were chosen.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3973", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Grahame Morris"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Easington"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Grahame Morris"} ], "uin" : "195339"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654632", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Home Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1654632/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
