Where there is reason to suspect that an individual is not complying, details will be passed to the relevant police force who will consider enforcement action. Police will continue to take the 4 ‘E’s approach of engage, explain, encourage and, as a last resort, enforce. Guidance on enforcement activity is issued by the College of Policing. Interpretation of that guidance and any subsequent action is an operational decision for the police.</p><p> </p><p>We have seen high levels of compliance with the rules to date, and expect that the majority of people will continue to do the right thing and abide by these measures.</p>North West HampshireKit Malthouse2020-06-18false2020-06-18T13:20:28.433Z1Home OfficeHome Office2020-06-11Travel: Coronavirus1House of CommonsTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many checks have been made by the police on people subject to a 14-day quarantine period after arriving in the UK.falseCrawleyHenry Smith58691Home Office<p>The Home Office will be providing specific funding of £136,000 to support the work of the National Wildlife Crime Unit in 2020/21.

We are taking end-to-end action across the housing system with measures to: release more land for homes where people want to live, build the homes we need faster, get more people building homes, and support people who need help now. We have committed more than £44 billion of financial support over five years to 2022/2023 to boost the delivery of housing and unblock barriers to more housebuilding.</p><p>We are also committed to ensuring that new homes are of good quality. In 2018, we announced a dedicated ombudsman for buyers of new homes and we intend to introduce legislation to require developers of new build homes to belong to a New Homes Ombudsman. The revised National Planning Policy Framework places a strong emphasis on design and makes clear that developments should be visually attractive and add to the overall quality of the area.</p><p>Our interventions are making a difference. Last year 222,190 homes were delivered, the highest in all but one of the last thirty years. This year numbers are expected to rise again, representing the 7<sup>th</sup> consecutive year of growth.</p>North West HampshireKit Malthouse2019-07-16false2019-07-16T12:50:03.467Z7Housing, Communities and Local GovernmentHousing, Communities and Local Government2019-07-10Buildings: Construction1House of CommonsTo ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what steps he is taking to (a) increase (a) building and (b) build quality throughout the country.falseCrawleyHenry Smith27574110015
