General information about waiting times for appeals in the First-tier Tribunal (Social Security and Child Support) (SSCS) are published at:<\/p>
www.gov.uk/government/collections/tribunals-statistics<\/p>
<\/p>
The table below contains the average waiting time for Child Maintenance appeals between July and September 2019 (the latest period for which data are available) at HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) hearing venues in Wales1<\/sup>.<\/p> Average time (in weeks) taken to administer Child Maintenance appeals between July \u2013 September 2019 (the latest period for which figures are available)<\/strong><\/p><\/td><\/tr> Aberystwyth<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Cardiff<\/p><\/td> 59<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Haverfordwest<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Langstone, Newport<\/p><\/td> 38<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Llanelli<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Port Talbot<\/p><\/td> 42<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Swansea<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr> Wrexham<\/p><\/td> ~<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> <\/p> 1<\/sup> Wales SSCS Region<\/p> ~ denotes five or fewer cases. If the number of disposals are five or fewer, the average disposal time is redacted.<\/p> <\/p> Although care is taken when processing and analysing the data, the details are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large-scale case management system and are the best data that are available. Data include appeals cleared with and without a Tribunal hearing.<\/p> <\/p> Waiting times are calculated from receipt of an appeal to its final disposal. An appeal is not necessarily disposed of at its first hearing. The final disposal decision on the appeal may be reached after an earlier hearing had been adjourned (which may be directed by the judge for a variety of reasons, such as to seek further evidence), or after an earlier hearing date had been postponed (again, for a variety of reasons, often at the request of the appellant). An appeal may also have been decided at an earlier date by the First-tier Tribunal, only for the case to have gone on to the Upper Tribunal, to be returned once again to the First-tier, for its final disposal.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> HMCTS recognises it is important for appeals to be heard as quickly as possible, and is in the process of recruiting more judicial office holders to the SSCS jurisdiction in order to increase capacity and help to reduce waiting times for appellants. In 2018, 118 specialist members were appointed and trained to the jurisdiction, and an extra 129 fee-paid judges were appointed in 2019. The jurisdiction will also benefit from 114 salaried judges and 170 fee-paid judges being recruited across tribunals more widely.<\/p>"}

While we have had significant successes to date, with a 15 per cent reduction in average household energy use since 2010, we know that a step change in pace of delivery will be needed to meet the challenge of net zero.<\/p> The Government has committed to introduce a Future Homes Standard by 2025. This means new homes will be fit for the future, with low carbon heating and lower energy use through high levels of energy efficiency. We propose that new homes built to the Future Homes Standard from 2025 should have carbon dioxide emissions up to 80 per cent lower than those built to current building regulations standards.<\/p> We are currently consulting on a meaningful and achievable increase to the energy efficiency standards for new homes to be introduced through the Building Regulations in 2020, as a stepping stone to this commitment. The preferred option is to set a standard that should result in a 31 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions. The consultation is open until 7 February and we welcome further evidence.<\/p>"}
