answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/07/2021 answer text <p>The development of the Spatial Framework is at a very early stage. In preparing the Spatial Framework we are committed to going through a robust process of building our evidence base to understand the most sustainable approach to housing growth for the Arc, and will go beyond the typical local planning horizon by planning to 2050. The Spatial Framework therefore presents the opportunity to set future expectations for affordable housing that can be delivered in a way that meets the needs of local residents.</p><p>In February, when we formally launched the process to develop the Spatial Framework, we committed to conducting wide and meaningful engagement to give as many people as possible the opportunity to help shape the Spatial Framework.</p><p>Today we launched the first of three public consultations on the Spatial Framework, which will include consulting on the issue of affordable housing and meeting the future housing needs of the area: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/creating-a-vision-for-the-oxford-cambridge-arc" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/creating-a-vision-for-the-oxford-cambridge-arc</a>.</p><p>We intend to carry out three phases of planned public consultation for the Spatial Framework over a two-year period, so there will be two further opportunities for people to have their say. The next stage of the Spatial Framework consultation, which we hope will take place in Spring 2022, will focus on policy options to deliver sustainable growth in the Arc to 2050, including policy options relating to housing.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 20/07/2021 16:53:48 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher

uin	1140
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2019 answer text <p>The Home Office carried out an assessment to understand the scale and nature of protests outside abortion clinics to establish whether more should be done to protect those requiring an abortion. The previous Home Secretary set out his position on 13 September 2018 through a Written Ministerial Statement. A link to the statement can be found here: <a href="https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-09-13/HCWS958" target="_blank">https://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-statement/Commons/2018-09-13/HCWS958</a>.</p><p>The Government recognises the adverse impact that anti-abortion protests can have on patients and staff and the Home Office is keeping this important matter under review. My officials regularly liaise with national policing leads to assess if there have been any developments on protest activities outside abortion clinics. The Home Office would welcome any new evidence that becomes available.</p><p>I understand that the implementation of a Public Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) in the vicinity of the Marie Stopes West London Centre in Ealing has proved successful in preventing protests and vigils taking place that were deemed to be having a detrimental effect on the quality of life of those in the locality. In March 2019, a second PSPO was introduced around the British Pregnancy Advisory Service clinic in Twickenham.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins grouped question UIN 1145 1146 1147 question first answered 25/10/2019 12:20:40 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has made an assessment of the effect of removing service standards from asylum claims on the time taken to conclude those claims for (a) adult claimants and (b) minors.
tabling member constituency	Oxford East

uin	28757
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2020 answer text <p>Until October 2018, there was a published Service Standard in place to decide 98% of straight-forward cases within six months from date of claim. Whilst the operation consistently achieved this for three years, the number of non-straight forward cases awaiting a decision grew rapidly and it became clear that the former service standard no longer best served those that used our services. For these reasons, former Ministers agreed that we should move away from the service standard to reprioritise cases in the short term, whilst we come to longer term arrangement for service standards that meet the needs of all parties.</p><p>As a result, we moved away from the 6-month service standard to concentrate on older claims, cases with acute vulnerability and those in receipt of the greatest level of support, including Unaccompanied Asylum-Seeking Children (UASC). That has meant some claims that would have been categorised as straightforward and received a decision within 6 months have waited longer.</p><p>However, it would be difficult to attribute this to changes to the service standard, as asylum intake has been significantly higher than expected levels since October 2018.. Published statistics show that there were 35,566 asylum applications in the UK (main applicants only) in the year ending December 2019, an increase of 21% from the previous year.</p><p>This means that despite a number of interventions, the number of claims awaiting a decision has grown.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 19/03/2020 16:43:30 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp
