answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2016 answer text <p>As of 1 July 2016 planning permission had been granted since 1 January 2011 for 311,000 homes on sites where work had not yet started. However, latest figures show that on these sites yet to be started, 90 per cent of the dwellings are now progressing towards a start, up from 85 per cent in July 2015.</p><p>There are a range of factors which can delay the start of work on site. We are taking forward a range of proposals to help drive up delivery post permission, including changes in legislation to tackle unnecessary planning conditions and providing additional investment in infrastructure to help unlock housing sites and we expect developers and local authorities to work together to tackle problems at a local level.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 21/09/2016 13:12:10 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2016 answer text <p>The UK is not a member of the Six Party talks, but we maintain a close dialogue with all participants, including the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK). Through our bilateral engagement with DPRK we have made clear to the regime that their nuclear and ballistic missile programmes are in violation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions and that the DPRK should return to credible and authentic multilateral talks on denuclearisation. We assess that the resumption of Six Party talks is unlikely given the current situation and only if the DPRK agrees to discuss denuclearisation.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 21/09/2016 15:00:09 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2016 answer text <p>Since the unanimous adoption of UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 2270 in March 2016, which the UK strongly supported, the Government has been focused on ensuring that the Resolution is implemented fully and effectively by all UN Member States. We continue to have discussions with partners in the region to ensure that UNSCR 2270 and all previous sanctions measures are enforced in order to limit the ability of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) to fund its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. The UK operates one of the toughest export control and counter-proliferation systems in the world and looks to share British expertise on sanctions wherever possible. Following the DPRK’s fifth nuclear test on 9 September, the UK is working with the UN Security Council and key partners to ensure there is a robust multilateral response to this violation of successive UN resolutions.</p> answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 21/09/2016 14:52:17 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma
