question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government on how many occasions in the past three years local authorities in England have exercised their powers (1) to requisition, and (2) to purchase compulsorily, houses or flats that have been unoccupied for long periods; and whether they will issue new guidance for areas of great housing need.
tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL1381
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>The Government is keen for local authorities to bring back more empty homes into productive use. In Levelling-up and Regeneration Bill which is currently before Parliament we are improving the process for making and confirming compulsory purchase orders so local authorities have more confidence in using these powers.</p><p>Local authorities can exercise their powers to take over the management of long-term empty homes (through Empty Dwelling Management Orders) in certain circumstances in order to bring them back into use in the private rented sector. The department does not collect data on the number of such orders made.</p><p>Local authorities can also use their housing compulsory purchase powers under the Housing Act 1985 to deal with empty homes. In the last 3 years, 118 compulsory purchase orders under these enabling powers have been submitted to the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities for confirmation. There are also other enabling powers that compulsory purchase orders can be made under that could involve empty homes. No further detailed breakdown is available.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 07/07/2022 15:36:09 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

uin	HL1383
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2022 answer text <p>It is the Government's long-established position that when someone commits a crime, which is sufficiently serious to receive a prison sentence, they are deemed to have broken their contract with society to such an extent that they should not have the right to vote until they are ready to be back in the community. We have maintained that position for all elections that fall within the UK Parliament's competence.</p><p>This position was clearly set out in the Government's 2019 manifesto, which stated: <strong>'</strong>We will maintain the ban on prisoners voting from jail'.</p> answering member printed Lord Harrington of Watford question first answered 13/07/2022 13:59:32 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/07/2022 answer text <p>The UK has a long and proud history of welcoming migrants including recent arrivals from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Hong Kong. All conflict and threat situations are unique and require unique and tailored responses, including different levels of required housing support and different means of providing this.</p><p>We are actively exploring options to provide suitable settled homes for refugees in housing need, which support their integration and access to education and employment.</p><p>In the longer-term, the provision of affordable housing is a key element of the Government's plan to end the housing crisis, tackle homelessness and provide aspiring homeowners with a step onto the housing ladder. Our £11.5 billion Affordable Homes Programme (AHP) will provide up to 180,000 new homes across the country, should economic conditions allow. Around half the homes will be for affordable and social rent and we will deliver more than double the amount of social rent compared to the current programme, with around 32,000 social rent homes due to be delivered.</p> answering member printed Lord Harrington of Watford question first answered 07/07/2022 13:24:01 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

uin	HL1188
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2022 answer text <p>This Government is committed to supporting the development of locally-led new and expanded towns and villages through our garden communities programme. In May this year, we announced a package of £15 million to support 43 garden communities from Cornwall to Carlisle. This brings the total support since the launch of the programme from 2014 to over £69.4 million.</p><p>New technology and innovation have improved productivity, quality and choice across a range of sectors and the Government wants to see the same happen in housing. In order to achieve the benefits of a modern methods of construction (MMC) sector working at scale, we are stimulating demand through our funding and land programmes.</p><p>In the Affordable Housing Programme (2021-26) at least 25% of homes delivered through Strategic Partnerships will use MMC. We have recently launched the £1.5 billion Levelling Up Home Building Fund to support small and medium sized housebuilders, self and custom builders and innovators such as those using MMC. This Fund will provide development finance to deliver 42,000 homes, with the majority of delivery outside London and the South East.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 06/07/2022 15:26:02 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

tabling member printed	Lord Hylton
uin	HL1189
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2022 answer text <p>Our National Planning Policy Framework encourages the re-use of redundant or disused buildings for housing. In addition, we have introduced a range of nationally set permitted development rights which allow for the change of use from a wide range of vacant commercial buildings, such as shops, offices and restaurants to residential use without the need for a local planning application. The rights are making an important contribution to housing delivery, with over 82,000 new homes delivered under them rights in the six years to March 2021. Pubs will often be an important community asset, and we believe that it is appropriate that any proposals to change their use should be considered through the planning application process.</p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 06/07/2022 15:26:28 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh
