Seventeen industry bodies, covering the majority of the sector, have already agreed to abide by the code of practice. The code not only explains what is legally required when letting and managing property in the private sector, but also provides a model for best practice. Members of any organisations which have signed up to this code agree to abide by its contents, giving tenants assurance of a good service, driving up standards in the sector. We expect those who have signed up to the code to promote it with their members and customers but this will be supported by my Department for example through a link in the How to Rent Guide, ensuring that it is used as a measure of good practice by the three approved redress schemes and references to the code in regular communication activities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4009", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Great Yarmouth"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Brandon Lewis"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-13T15:16:29.345806Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "7"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Communities and Local Government"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Private Rented Housing: Codes of Practice"} , "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, pursuant to the Answer of 10 July 2014, Official Report, column 407W, on housing, what plans his Department has to disseminate the code of practice for the management of residential property to (a) people who manage residential property and (b) tenants.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1591", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tim Farron"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Westmorland and Lonsdale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tim Farron"} ], "uin" : "208967"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91384", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Communities and Local Government"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/91384/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government does not hold statistics on the proportion of affordable homes delivered through section 106 agreements on sites of fewer than 10 homes in each of the last five years.

The Government's public consultation on proposed changes to national policy on section 106 planning obligations agreements closed on 4 May. Interested parties were invited to submit evidence on the impact of the proposed measures, both in terms of developer contributions to local infrastructure and affordable housing, and on unblocking stalled sites and increasing the pace and scale of small site development.

a) The Removal of the Spare Room Subsidy is estimated to save around £500 million per year in 2013/14 and 2014/15.<\/p>

b) In 2013/14 total discretionary housing payment expenditure by local authorities across Great Britain was £176,393,889. This figure includes amounts spent by Local Authorities over and above their government contribution in DHP funding. At the end of the financial year, 240 out of 380 LAs across Great Britain under-spent by £13,285,430 against the available government contribution.

The Government is committed to maximising electoral registration to help support the highest possible turnout in elections. The introduction of online registration on June 10 in England and Wales makes it easier and more convenient for all, including young people, to register to vote.<\/p>

The Government has announced that all 363 local authorities and valuation joint boards in Great Britain and five national organisations, including UK Youth and the Scottish Youth Parliament, will be sharing £4.2 million aimed at ensuring every eligible person in the country is signed up to the electoral register and has their chance to vote.<\/p>

Recent changes to legislation have included provisions to support the earlier dispatch of postal votes, clearer and more modern forms and information for voters and changes to provisions at close of poll, which all support greater participation.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3980", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "East Surrey"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Sam Gyimah"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-09-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-09-02T14:25:27.8704676Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "58"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Deputy Prime Minister"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Deputy Prime Minister"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-22", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Voting Behaviour: Young People"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Deputy Prime Minister, what steps he is taking to increase voter turnout in local elections among 18 to 25 year-olds.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1591", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Tim Farron"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Westmorland and Lonsdale"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Tim Farron"} ], "uin" : "206863"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79220", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/79220/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

There are no plans to take the Highways Agency out of public ownership. The Infrastructure Bill seeks to establish the Highways Agency as a Government-Owned Company. An Impact Assessment has been completed on these proposals. This estimates the transitional costs of reform at between £11 million to £15 million. These costs would be one off costs and would be outweighed by savings of at least £2.6Bn over 10 years.
