question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the analysis by the Local Government Association, published on 20 February 2020, which found that more than a million homes granted planning permission in the past decade have not yet been built; and what plans they have empower local authorities to incentivise developers to expedite the building of housing already granted planning permission.
tabling member printed	Lord Alton of Liverpool
uin	HL248
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2021 answer text <p>As the Local Government Association have themselves stated, in some cases there are legitimate reasons as to why development stalls. Perhaps, for example, the landowner cannot get the price for the site they want, or the development approved is not viable, or supply chain constraints hinder starting. Sir Oliver Letwin highlighted in his 2018 review on the topic, building on the work of Dame Kate Barker and many others before them, that, as such, the often-repeated idea of housebuilders ‘sitting on’ land is overstated.</p><p>Nevertheless, this Government is clear that new homes should be built out as soon as possible. Where build-out is delayed, it is for councils and developers to work closely together to overcome any barriers. To ensure this happens, we are exploring further options to support faster build-out as part of our proposed planning reforms.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Greenhalgh question first answered 01/06/2021 12:13:05 answering member 4877 label Biography information for Lord Greenhalgh

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2019 answer text <p>The full study results have not been evaluated by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency as no application to market the product in the United Kingdom has been received.</p><p>Currently, there are no polypills (containing multiple medicines) approved in the UK or Europe. Specific combinations of two medicines for blood pressure control or a statin and aspirin only at appropriate doses are licensed and available for use in the UK for those patients with high blood pressure or high cholesterol.</p><p>There are safety risks combining multiple medicines and using them as a public health preventative strategy particularly in people who have no symptoms or diagnosable disease. These arise from interactions between medications including potentiation of effects, individual differences and susceptibilities as well as long term effects. Prior to licensing such a polypill combination, these aspects will need to be evaluated.</p> answering member printed Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford question first answered 30/10/2019 12:32:54 answering member 4019 label Biography information for Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford
