9th May 2018
To ask Her Majesty's Government what middle- and upper-tier immigration enforcement operations with operational names took place in (1) 2013, and (2) 2014; and what were the operational names for each of them.

The Home Office does not name or comment on past or current Immigration Enforcement operations that are not already in the public domain.

Baroness Williams of Trafford
Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)
8th Jun 2020
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to change planning law to give control of decisions to Government-owned development corporations instead of local councils; whether they have established a panel to consider such plans and other changes to planning law; and if so, what is that panel's (1) terms of reference, and (2) membership. [T]

I recognise the importance of Local Government’s role in creating sustainable communities across the country. We value their relationship with local communities and the work they have done to ensure high quality development is delivered where it is needed. We have set out an ambitious programme to modernise our planning system. Our “Planning for the Future” reforms will support the delivery of homes that local people need and create greener communities with more beautiful homes. We look forward to saying more on this in the near future.

To ask Her Majesty's Government, whether the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, using data from the Office for National Statistics, has identified a link between immigration and increased house prices; what are the data; and what is the underpinning analysis.

The Department published the relevant analysis on 13th April and it is available here (attached):

I have placed a copy in the Library of both houses.
