answer text <p>No such assessment has been made to date. This is because rights holders tend to use collective management organisation (CMOs) to collect and distribute royalties earned in other EU countries. UK and EU CMOs enter into reciprocal agreements with each other to do this. These are private commercial agreements between the parties which we would expect to continue after the UK has exited the Digital Single Market.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The prescription of these products by doctors on the Specialist Register of the General Medical Council (GMC) and only where there is an unmet clinical need follows the principles used by the Interim Expert Panel on cannabis-based products for medicinal use. This approach was agreed by senior clinicians on the Expert Panel, Chaired by Dr Michael McBride, Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland. This approach was subsequently supported by the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) in their advice to the Home Secretary on rescheduling cannabis. The ACMD advice has been published and is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-advice-on-scheduling-of-cannabis-derived-medicinal-products" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-advice-on-scheduling-of-cannabis-derived-medicinal-products</a></p><p>Any unlicensed medicines, including cannabis-based products for medicinal use, will be supplied under long-standing arrangements for the supply of what are known, in healthcare settings, as ‘specials’. This process is underpinned by the Human Medicines Act and, outside of clinical trials, only allows these unlicensed medicines to be prescribed where there is an unmet clinical need. This restriction is in place because unlicensed medicines have not been through the same quality, safety and efficacy tests as licenced medicines.</p>

answer text <p>We have not estimated the number of homes that would be built on a local authority basis, following the abolition of the Housing Revenue Account borrowing cap. We estimate that nationally, local authority delivery will increase to around 10,000 homes per year. Local authorities in South Yorkshire, and elsewhere, are able to use their new borrowing freedom to start building new homes to meet the needs of their communities immediately. We want to see them seize this opportunity and build a new generation of council housing.</p><p>In respect of the additional £2 billion of grant funding for Affordable Housing from 2022 to 2029, it is not possible to determine the distribution across regions until bids have been approved. Homes England do publish allocations data on the current 2016-2022 Affordable Homes Programme outside of London. As of March 2018, 1,361 affordable homes have been allocated grant funding in South Yorkshire.</p><p>Local authorities in South Yorkshire were successful in securing £5.8 million of Housing Infrastructure Fund (HIF) Marginal Viability Funding, which will unlock up to 730 homes. The final funding amounts are subject to a funding clarification process that is currently underway. We are currently working with Sheffield City Regions Combined Authority to develop their HIF Forward Funding bid. We cannot say if this funding will support homes in South Yorkshire until their bid is submitted in the coming months.</p>

answer text <p>There are many complex factors which contribute to and affect the financial sustainability of landlords in this sector. Research carried out by the National Federation of ALMOs shows over three quarters of their tenants come onto Universal Credit with pre-existing rent arrears.</p><p>Arrears are usually temporary and the majority of claimants do succeed in paying their rent, managing their monthly payments and clearing their arrears over time</p><p>We continually review and improve Universal Credit in response to feedback. In 2018, following Autumn Budget 2017, we have implemented a comprehensive and wide-ranging package of improvements worth £1.5 billion. These include making advances of up to 100% of the indicative award available (from the start of a claim) and increasing the repayment period to 12 months, removing the 7 waiting days, providing an additional payment of 2 weeks of Housing Benefit to support claimants when they transition to Universal Credit, and changing how claimants in temporary accommodation receive support for their housing costs.</p>
