question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, with reference to his Department's press release, Government announces it will fully fund unsafe cladding removal in social housing, published on 16 May 2018, what assessment he has made of the effect on residents in mixed-use developments who are (a) leaseholders or (b) are in shared ownership.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government will fully fund the removal and replacement of dangerous Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) cladding on buildings owned by councils and housing associations, with costs estimated at £400 million. Some of these buildings will contain leaseholders and shared ownership properties. In the social sector, all of those local authorities and housing associations with whom we are in discussion with have indicated that they are choosing not to pass on the costs of the remediation of cladding systems to individual flat owners within their buildings. The Secretary of State made it clear that he considers this is the right approach.</p><p>In the private sector, building owners are responsible for making buildings safe. We have been clear we think they or the developers of the buildings should pay and not pass costs on to leaseholders, either funding the work themselves or looking at alternative routes such as insurance claims, warranties or action to ensure those responsible for erecting unsafe cladding pay. Leaseholders can challenge the costs in courts if they are unreasonable.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 22/05/2018 15:37:40 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab

uin	145269
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/05/2018 answer text <p>We do not hold centrally an annual breakdown of spending for victims of domestic violence in the West Midlands since 2010, however, the Government is providing financial support to specialist services for BAME women who are victims of domestic violence in a number of ways through our Violence against Women and Girls (VAWG) Strategy. This includes Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) funding to local authorities for domestic abuse services and the VAWG Service Transformation Fund</p><p>Since 2014 MHCLG have invested over £33 million in services to support victims of domestic abuse, including support for BAME victims. The MHCLG Priorities for Domestic Abuse Services, which set out what steps local areas should take in their response to domestic abuse, includes the need to consider provision for BAME victims. These priorities encourage the securing of specialist services and using their expertise and knowledge to identify and deal with barriers to service access and deliver the support that BAME victims need when they need it.</p><p>In addition, the VAWG Service Transformation Fund launched in 2017 has provided £17 million to 41 projects and meets the needs of those women and girls experiencing multiple disadvantage (BAME, LGB&amp;T women and girls and disabled and older women). In the West Midlands, we provided £250,000 to Staffordshire PCC for a FGM project to ensure victims and potential victims have timely access to counselling and therapeutic support.</p><p>In 2017, the Government funded the charity Imkaan to build capacity in the BME women’s sector.</p><p>Significant further funding for domestic abuse services, including refuges will be available as early as possible in this financial year. This new fund will be open to all local areas across England to bid for a share.</p> answering member constituency Rossendale and Darwen answering member printed Jake Berry question first answered 22/05/2018 15:24:53 answering member 4060 label Biography information for Sir Jake Berry

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the adequacy of protection in place for people and organisations that have leasehold interests in land from freeholds being sold by local authorities to third parties.
tabling member printed	Lord Kennedy of Southwark
uin	HL7983
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2018 answer text <p>We are constantly working to ensure that protection for leaseholders is adequate. That is why on 21 December 2017, the Government set out a package of measures to tackle abuses and unfair practices in the leasehold market. This includes introducing legislation to prohibit the development of new build leasehold houses, other than in exceptional circumstances, restricting ground rents in newly established leases of houses and flats to a peppercorn (zero financial value) and working with the Law Commission to support existing leaseholders - including making buying a freehold or extending a lease easier, faster, fairer and cheaper. As part of the reform, we will consider extending the existing Right of First Refusal for flat lessees (Part 1 of the Landlord Act 1987) to house lessees. In general, the provision states that where a landlord is proposing to sell his interest in a building containing flats in relation to which the Right of First Refusal exists, they must, by law, first offer it to the tenants before offering it on the open market.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 24/05/2018 15:43:10 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Lord Rotherwick
uin	HL8001
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/05/2018 answer text <p>The government has no current plans to amend paragraph (z) of Schedule 4 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Management Procedure (England) Order 2015. Any interested party can make representations on a planning application; it is not restricted to statutory consultees. While aerodromes are not statutory consultees on planning applications, they can work proactively with local councils to identify developments where they might have an interest, and can comment on proposals within the normal public consultation period. The planning authority must take into account and weigh up all the material planning considerations in reaching its decision. Local planning authorities can consider whether there are planning policy reasons to engage other consultees who - whilst not designated in law - are likely to have an interest in a proposed development.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 30/05/2018 14:46:46 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
