answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>My Department and the Treasury have developed a robust approach to assessing Freeport bids. We consulted publicly on the objectives of the Freeports policy and have set out clearly in the Freeports Bidding Prospectus what these are and how bids will be assessed against them. This includes explicitly stating (in Section 5) how information requested from bidders will be marked, how these marks will be weighted, and how bids will qualify for the appointable list. Finally, we have published (also in Section 5 of the Bidding Prospectus) the factors Ministers will consider when assessing this list and have committed to publishing the rationales for successful bids’ selection.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall question first answered 11/01/2021 18:40:16 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall previous answer version 72602 answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>The Department has been working at pace and with building owners to process the registrations to the Building Safety Fund and to ensure that as many buildings as possible can make use of the fund – a task that has been made challenging by the failure of many buildings to provide basic eligibility information. It became clear that many building owners would be unable to complete applications by our intended deadline of 31 December 2020, adding to the concerns of many leaseholders. To address this we announced on 17 December 2020 that building owners will now have until 30 June 2021 to complete their applications.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 11/01/2021 16:40:46 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
