The Government has no current plans to legislate to mandate periodic hydronic balancing of hydronic heating systems. Balancing of a heating system is something that is routinely done as part of a commissioning process and is therefore more suited to technical guidance. However, if my Hon. Friend would like to discuss this further I\u2019m happy to meet with him.<\/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" : "2023-03-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-03-07T14:07:03.647Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-02-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Heating: Housing"} , "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, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of amending the (a) Building Safety Act 2022 and (b) related regulation to introduce requirements for periodic hydronic balancing of hydronic domestic heating systems; and if he will make a statement.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4005", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Bob Blackman"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harrow East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Bob Blackman"} ], "uin" : "153736"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1458088", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1458088/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
We are working with the Government of Ukraine to assess needs, capacities and risk appetites of partners, in order to ascertain how best to support de-mining efforts in newly liberated areas (including Chernobyl).<\/p>
Since 2014 we have supported a range of explosive threat management activities in Ukraine through partners including the HALO Trust, UNDP and OSCE, through the Conflict, Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). This support has resulted in 2,552,332 m2 of land being cleared and 130,346 people receiving Explosive Ordnance Risk Education, which has led to a significant reduction in mine-related casualties. FCDO and MOD are actively lobbying Ukraine to expand permissions to broaden the scope of demining activities by partners, thereby creating further capacity to tackle this urgent issue.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4366", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for James Cleverly"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Braintree"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "James Cleverly"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-04-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-04-26T13:00:49.253Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "208"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-04-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Ukraine: Military Aid"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to supply the Ukrainian armed forces with the necessary equipment to de-mine the area surrounding the Chernobyl nuclear plant and allow full safety checks in that area to be completed.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/298", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve McCabe"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Selly Oak"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Steve McCabe"} ], "uin" : "153736"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/923979", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/923979/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The Government funds affordable housing through the Affordable Homes programme. The information requested is not available for Coventry, as we do not publish funding details at a local level.<\/p>
