The Government is considering a number of options for increasing energy efficiency standards. For the domestic Private Rented Sector, the Government has consulted on raising the standard to EPC Band C for new tenancies from 1 April 2025, and for all tenancies by 1 April 2028. The Government has also consulted on raising the minimum energy efficiency standard of privately rented non-domestic buildings to EPC C by 1 April 2027, and EPC B by 1 April 2030.<\/p>

The government believes that having an effective anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing regime goes hand-in-hand with supporting British fintech firms and consumers by providing confidence that new technologies can be used both reliably and safely. The scope of the UK\u2019s anti-money laundering registration regime for cryptoassets is based on international standards agreed at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). This applies to cryptoassets regardless of whether they are intended to function as a medium of exchange or as an investment. As the Kalifa review noted, the UK has a hard-won reputation of trust regarding regulation and the rule of law which we must build on. The government supports the FCA\u2019s approach to establishing the regime, which will provide the confidence needed to support genuine innovation in the cryptoassets sector.<\/p>
<\/p>
Whilst it is open to UK cryptoasset firms to relocate to another jurisdiction, most major financial centres worldwide are in FATF member jurisdictions, which are expected to implement AML standards for cryptoasset firms that are broadly in line with those in the UK. Firms based overseas that do not carry on their cryptoasset business in the UK may still interact with UK consumers. The government launched a consultation on its regulatory approach to cryptoassets and stablecoins on 7 January and will outline next steps in due course. The FCA\u2019s consumer protection objective applies where the FCA is discharging one of its general objectives under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and does not apply with regard to functions conferred under the Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing and Transfer of Funds (Information on the Payer) Regulations 2017 (the MLRs).<\/p>
<\/p>
Under the MLRs, firms are expected to assess money laundering and terrorist financing risks when considering the services they provide to current or potential customers. The ultimate decision about whether to provide services to a customer belongs to the bank, which may take into account commercial considerations in addition to financial crime risks.<\/p>
<\/p>
To comply with the MLRs, cryptoasset firms must demonstrate systems, controls, policies and procedures adequate to deal with the particular risks of the cryptoasset market. That a firm is already permitted to carry out activities in one area therefore does not mean it meets the required standards for another area. It is therefore necessary for a firm to apply to be registered for its cryptoasset activities, even though it has already registered with the FCA for AML supervision related to other activities.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4689", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Agnew of Oulton"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Agnew of Oulton"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2021-11-03", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL3329"} , {"_value" : "HL3331"} , {"_value" : "HL3333"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-11-03T16:16:43.12Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Financial Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Financial Conduct Authority\u2019s decision to restrict (1) non-cryptocurrency blockchain, and (2) non-cryptocurrency distributed ledger technology financial innovation, through its implementation of the cryptoasset register; and in particular, the compatibility of this decision with (a) Her Majesty\u2019s Government\u2019s policy of encouraging innovation in financial services, and (b) the recommendations of the Kalifa review.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1744", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Viscount Waverley"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Viscount Waverley"} ], "uin" : "HL3328"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189811", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1189811/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Regulation (EC) 883/2004 co-ordinates social security systems across the EU, EEA and Switzerland. Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 is the implementation regulation which provides for administrative co-operation between Member States to implement the co-ordination regulation.<\/p>
<\/p>
Article 6 provides for a Member State to make benefit payments on a provisional basis as the Member State of residence if there is a dispute with another Member State as to who is responsible for the payment of benefits. Article 7 provides for a Member State to make a provisional award of benefit if another Member State has not provided all the evidence requested from them.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government does not collect information on the number of provisional benefit payments made on the basis of either Article 6 or 7 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009.<\/p>
<\/p>
There is published guidance on how to determine an award of benefit through the application of Article 6 (Annex A DWP Annex B HMRC). This is part of the Decision Makers Guidance which is made available to the public.<\/p>
<\/p>
In domestic guidance there is the facility for a decision maker to make an award of benefit where the evidence required is incomplete, with a revision of that award undertaken, if appropriate, once the required evidence is received. This would cover claims made under Article 7. Each claim to benefit is assessed on a case by case basis.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3893", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Freud"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Freud"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-12-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "HL3327"} , {"_value" : "HL3329"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-12-01T16:30:04.957Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-11-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Security Benefits: EU Law"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government how many benefit payments based on provisional calculations have been made by (1) HMRC and (2) DWP pursuant to Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 987/2009 since 1 May 2010.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4234", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Lister of Burtersett"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Lister of Burtersett"} ], "uin" : "HL3328"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/426055", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/426055/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
The information requested is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. However, in July 2011 the Government put in place its Guiding Principles for EU Legislation, which state that the Government will not go beyond the minimum requirements of the measure which is being transposed, save in exceptional circumstances. Since the Guiding Principles have applied there have been only five instances of new \u201cgold-plating\u201d of EU Directives that have placed additional costs on business which is attached.<\/p>

The national Crisis Care Concordat was published in February to improve service responses to people in mental health crisis. There is a specific emphasis on delivering improved outcomes for people in crisis at a local level. Partner organisations are expected to demonstrate their commitments by signing up to a local declaration and agreeing a joint action plan to bring about the improvements needed.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
We are asking every area to develop a shared action plan and commit to review, monitor and track improvements. In particular, we have asked for a commitment from all areas to reduce the use of police stations as places of safety.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The particular focus on Local Crisis Declarations is designed to enable each partnership to understand the issues in their area and develop solutions.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
All localities are working to have their declarations agreed by all the relevant local agencies by the end of the year. We are working closely with the mental health charity Mind to support the work in localities.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Declarations have already been made by London, Portsmouth, Wiltshire, Kent, Hertfordshire, Gloucestershire, Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland, Durham and Darlington, Bedfordshire & Luton, North Yorkshire & York, Cheshire, Oxfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Doncaster, Norfolk, Suffolk, Devon & Cornwall and Nottinghamshire. Plans are in place for all other local areas to agree their local declarations by the end of the year.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Signed local declarations and the agreed action plans have been made available on a national website to demonstrate coverage across England. This is available at:<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
www.crisiscareconcordat.org.uk<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Concordat does not specify which organisation should lead this work locally. As part of Operational Resilience and Capacity Planning for 2014-15 NHS England is asking for evidence of sign up to local mental health crisis care concordat arrangements as part of local plans.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
Health and wellbeing boards have a pivotal role in delivery by bringing together health and social care commissioners, the local community and wider partners. Through the board, these partners work together to identify the health and wellbeing needs of their local population. Some areas have managed, and are managing, the agreement of their local crisis declaration through their Health and Wellbeing Board.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department has commissioned an evaluation of the impact of the national Concordat.<\/p>
