The Government takes hate crime and discrimination of any kind very seriously. We are a tolerant and welcoming multicultural society and we have one of the strongest legal frameworks in the world to report, record and prosecute hate crime. As such, I would encourage anyone who experiences hate crime or any other form of verbal or physical abuse to report it to the police.<\/p>
While MHCLG does not performance manage local government, we do consider the service delivery of authorities as part of our oversight of local government. We continue to assess the risks affecting local government as part of the response to coronavirus. This will allow for us to compile the information needed to identify risks affecting councils and their workers, aiding us in assisting the Local Government Association and across Government to identify those local authorities which may need support.<\/p>

My Department led the preparation of the Health Protection (Coronavirus, Restrictions) (England) Regulations 2020 which enforces the closure of certain businesses and venues, including many retail premises. This is to minimise the risk of transmission of novel coronavirus by encouraging the public to stay at home wherever possible. Only categories of retail business which provide vital services to the public such as food and groceries, hardware for home repairs, and medicines remain physically open. These closures are enforceable by law. Trading Standards and Environmental Health officers within local authorities have the power to issue prohibition notices to non-compliant stores and potentially issue fixed penalty notices to store owners or managers and begin prosecutions where necessary.<\/p>
The Government remains clear that online retail can continue to operate, supported by the postal and delivery services which enable it. The public are using online retail as well as the stores that do remain open to access the products they need to provide for daily needs, to remain connected and to support upkeep of the home.<\/p>
Where stores do remain open, we strongly advise them to continue to follow specific Public Health England guidelines for customers and employees. To ensure retail workers are protected under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, these measures will be monitored by Health and Safety Executive Officers or Local Environmental Health Officers depending on the premise.<\/p>
The British Retail Consortium has also developed sector specific guidance on social distancing in warehouses and distribution centres aligned with the Public Health England advice that supports safety of employees who are enabling the retail sector to continue.<\/p>"}

As announced in the Queen\u2019s Speech, the Government plans to introduce a package of reforms to deliver a better deal for renters and a fairer and more effective rental market. The Renters\u2019 Reform Bill will enhance renters\u2019 security and improve protections for short-term tenants by abolishing \u2018no-fault\u2019 evictions. This will include repealing Section 21 of the Housing Act 1988 and represents a generational change in the law that governs private renting.<\/p>
However, at the current time, our collective efforts are focused on protecting people during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. That means supporting our communities as well as making sure measures to help renters and landlords over the next few months are effective.<\/p>
Our recent consultation \u2018 A New Deal for Renting: Resetting the balance of rights and responsibilities between landlords and tenants\u2019 <\/em> sought views from across the private and social rented sectors on how a new system should operate, in order to ensure that we get the details right\u202fand\u202fcreate\u202fa new framework which works for everyone. We received responses to our consultation which highlighted the experience of a range of people who rent their homes in the private rented sector, including older people. In total, almost 20,000 responses to the consultation were received and these are being carefully considered to help inform the Renters\u2019 Reform Bill. We will respond fully to the consultation in due course.<\/p>"}

The Government has made clear that local planning authorities should continue to prioritise decision-making during these challenging times to ensure that the planning system continues to function, especially when this when this will support the local economy.<\/p>
Local planning authorities are still required to undertake a formal period of public consultation of no less than 21 days, prior to deciding a planning application.<\/p>
Effective consultation allows local planning authorities to identify and consider all relevant planning issues associated with a proposed development. Where relevant considerations are raised by local residents, these must be taken into account by the local authority.<\/p>
Most planning applications are determined by planning officers through a local authority\u2019s scheme of delegation. Where decisions need to be made by committee, we have introduced legislation that allow council planning committee meetings to be held virtually.<\/p>
Local planning authorities should take an innovative approach, using all options available to them including their use of technology and electronic communication, to ensure that planning decisions are made and sufficient public participation in the planning process is maintained. The Government is working with the Planning Advisory Service to publish further advice on ways this can be achieved.<\/p>
