answer text <p>The UK is the world’s largest offshore wind market with 9.8GW installed, which is expected to rise to 14GW by 2023 and 19.5GW by 2026. On 23 July 2018, the Government announced the timetable for future Contracts for Difference auctions, which is the main mechanism for deploying new renewable technologies. The auctions have the potential to deliver up to 2GW of new offshore wind every year in the 2020s, which has given long term vision and clarity to the offshore wind sector.</p><p> </p><p>The Offshore Wind Sector Deal, published on 7 March 2019, will build on the UK’s global leadership in offshore wind bringing a strategic approach to deliver increased capacity of offshore wind, while boosting the UK economy, enhancing growth in the regions while continuing to reduce costs.</p><p> </p><p>Onshore wind has also deployed successfully to date in the UK, recently exceeding 14GW of installed operational capacity. Onshore wind continues to fall in cost and has resulted in several merchant onshore wind sites being deployed to date.</p>

answer text <p>Work is well underway on all 66 stretches of the England Coast Path - a new National Trail around all of England’s coast. A European court judgement in April 2018 affected how Natural England could assess the impact of England Coast Path proposals on environmentally protected sites, and progress on the England Coast Path slowed as a result. While this means the path in its entirety is unlikely to be open in 2020, Natural England will work towards opening as much of the England Coast Path as possible throughout 2020.</p><p> </p><p>The England Coast Path when completed will stretch approximately 2,717 miles around the coast. To date 385 miles (14%, 12 stretches) have been completed and new rights commenced, with a further 98 miles (4%, 4 stretches) undergoing establishment works before they are open for the public to walk. A summary of progress on each of the 16 open and approved stretches, with opening dates where known, is included in Tables A and B. The 50 unopened stretches are summarised in Table C. It is not currently possible to give estimated opening dates for many of the stretches still in progress. This is because the timeline for the final stages of the process depends on several factors including the number and nature of comments during the public consultation and the complexity of implementing works on the ground.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Table A - Open stretches</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Stretch name</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Opening date</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Rufus Castle to Lulworth Cove</p></td><td><p>29/06/2012</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Allonby to Whitehaven</p></td><td><p>11/04/2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North Gare to South Bents</p></td><td><p>12/04/2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Sea Palling to Weybourne</p></td><td><p>12/12/2014</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Brean Down to Minehead</p></td><td><p>15/03/2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Camber to Folkestone</p></td><td><p>19/07/2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Folkestone to Ramsgate</p></td><td><p>19/07/2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Filey Brigg to Newport Bridge</p></td><td><p>21/07/2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Hopton On Sea to Sea Palling</p></td><td><p>24/10/2016</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South Bents to Amble</p></td><td><p>26/07/2018</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Skegness to Mablethorpe</p></td><td><p>27/02/2019</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Newport Bridge to North Gare</p></td><td><p>18/09/2019</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Table B - Unopened stretches undergoing building works</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Stretch name</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Opening date</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Walney Island</p></td><td><p>February 2020 (estimate)</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Whitehaven to Silecroft</p></td><td><p>TBC</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Ramsgate to Whitstable</p></td><td><p>TBC</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Maldon to Salcott</p></td><td><p>TBC</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p>Table C - Unopened stretches</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Stretches</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>West</p></td><td><p>4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>6</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Essex</p></td><td><p>8</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>East</p></td><td><p>7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>5</p></td></tr></tbody></table>

answer text <p>The Housing Act 1996 requires that local housing authorities must ensure that all temporary accommodation they secure is suitable. Not to do so is unlawful. Households in temporary accommodation have the legal right to seek a review of any decision to place them in unsuitable accommodation. If households are unsatisfied with the response then they have redress to the courts.</p><p>To help frontline decision makers make those decisions right first time DCLG fund the National Homelessness Advice Service to provide free expert advice, training and support to homelessness professionals. In December 2015 Government also provided a £5 million fund to help the 25 councils facing the most significant homelessness pressures to ensure people are moved from temporary accommodation and into suitable homes as soon as possible.</p><p>Households leaving temporary accommodation now spend, on average, less time in temporary accommodation than they did in 2010. The numbers of households in temporary accommodation remain well below their peak, when they hit 101,000 in 2004.</p><p> </p>

answer text <p>In 2013, the Prime Minister secured the first ever cut to the seven-year EU Budget Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). As a result, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR’s) latest forecast, UK net contributions to the EU Budget going forward will, on average, be lower per year than in 2013/14 – the final year of the last seven-year deal secured by the previous Government – not higher. The Government supports the objectives of the European Structural and Investment Funds. These programmes are now more strongly focused on results following the implementation of a rigorous performance framework sought by the UK and other net payers during MFF negotiations. The Government is committed to continue to ensure maximum restraint and maximum value for money when it comes to EU expenditure.</p><p> </p> more like this
