question text	Her Majesty's Government whether the (1) flash frequency, and (2) brightness, of bicycle lights is regulated; if so, how it is enforced; and what assessment they have made of the impact of such lights' frequency and brightness on people with photosensitive epilepsy.
tabling member printed	Lord Browne of Belmont

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>I would like to take the opportunity to recognise the good work that Habitat for Humanity do through their community house building and renovation projects, both in the UK and abroad. MHCLG has considered a number of funding proposals for social investment organisations to help finance community-led housebuilding schemes.</p><p>While discussions are ongoing in some cases, no such investment has yet been made or agreed by MHCLG. Ministers are considering all budgets in the round and allocations for future years will be considered at the forthcoming Budget and Spending Review. While HM Treasury usually leads on mortgage policy and regulation , MHCLG keeps various approaches to increasing home ownership under review.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 30/01/2020 17:41:57 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

question text	Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Viscount Younger of Leckie on 7 January (HL67), whether they will now answer the question put, namely, what assessment they have made of the case for ensuring that flood proofing is included in the designs for new domestic and commercial buildings.
tabling member printed	Lord Patten
uin	HL580
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/01/2020 answer text <p>No assessment has been made as development proposals can already be required to include flood proofing measures where the site is at potential risk of flooding. National planning policy is clear that inappropriate development in areas at current or future risk of flooding should be avoided, directing development away from areas at highest risk. Where development is necessary in such areas, and where there are no suitable sites available in areas with a lower risk of flooding, it should be made safe without increasing flood risk elsewhere and be appropriately flood resilient and resistant.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 30/01/2020 17:40:55 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie
