This Government is working to improve quality and standards in social housing. Last month the Government launched a consultation on Awaab\u2019s law, which includes timescales for repair work in social housing. That consultation is available here Awaab\u2019s Law: Consultation on timescales for repairs in the social rented sector<\/a>. We will shortly launch a consultation on improving energy efficiency standards in social housing.<\/p>

We are pleased that many social housing providers are working towards improving the energy efficiency of their homes, and we continue to support the improvement of energy efficiency in the sector through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF).<\/p>

We want to see more social homes that are safer, more decent, with cheaper energy bills and more energy efficiency.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4553", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Baroness Scott of Bybrook"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1688317/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "Awaab Law cosultation.docx"} , "title" : "Awaab's Law consultation"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-02-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-02-21T15:44:45.25Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "211"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Levelling Up, Housing and Communities"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-02-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Social Rented Housing: Energy"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Baroness Scott of Bybrook on 27 June 2023 (HL Deb col 589) that they would \u201cconsult on standards for improving energy efficiency in the sector within six months of the [Social Housing (Regulation)] Bill receiving Royal Assent\u201d, when they will publish that consultation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1649", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Baroness Hayman"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Baroness Hayman"} ], "uin" : "HL2287"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1505813", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1505813/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government appreciates that many businesses are exposed to increased energy costs, driven by global factors.<\/p>

The new Energy Bill Relief Scheme (EBSS), unveiled on 21 September, will provide a discount on wholesale gas and electricity prices for businesses, including those in the hospitality sectors. This will apply to fixed term contracts \u2013 agreed on or after 1 April 2022 \u2013 as well as deemed, variable and flexible tariffs and contracts. The guarantee will apply to energy usage from 1 October 2022 to 31 March 2023, and this support will be automatically applied to bills.<\/p>

The Growth Plan (2022) fulfilled the Government\u2019s commitments to cut taxes and set the direction for regulatory reform. The planned rise in the rate of Corporation Tax will not go ahead and the Annual Investment Allowance will be permanently set at £1 million, freeing businesses to invest and grow. The reduction in the rate of National Insurance will make it cheaper for businesses to employ staff and pay higher wages; and reforms to Universal Credit will ensure claimants are supported to seek more and better paid work. In the coming weeks, the Government will set out further supply side reforms which will promote growth and ease the burden on businesses.<\/p>

This is in addition to the 50% business rates relief for eligible hospitality businesses, and the increased Employment Allowance worth up to £5,000.<\/p>

The Government has taken action to protect businesses from soaring energy costs and provided them with the certainty they need to plan, invest, and grow.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4169", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Viscount Younger of Leckie"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-09-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-09-28T14:19:33.45Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Hospitality Industry: Finance"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to introduce an emergency financial support package for the hospitality sector.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1796", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Taylor of Warwick"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Taylor of Warwick"} ], "uin" : "HL2287"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1349802", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1349802/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

In countries in which DFID provides health assistance, we aim to improve the provision of basic health services for the poorest so that these countries are better able to address a broad range of health problems including non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We do this through strengthening health systems, improving health worker capacity and increasing access to essential medicines and equipment. With this focus on strengthening health services, developing countries will be better equipped to address a broad range of health problems including non-communicable diseases (NCDs).<\/p>

<\/p>

We are also supporting specific efforts in developing countries to reduce the prevalence of NCDs, for example:<\/p>
