3rd Sep 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, when she plans to bring forward legislation on short term lets licensing.

The Levelling Up and Regeneration Act 2023 is already in place. This will enable us to reap the benefits of a thriving visitor economy whilst protecting the spirit and fabric of communities, including by giving local authorities valuable data on short-term lets in their area to help address possible housing impacts. We will set out further detail on how the scheme will work as soon as practicable.

Chris Bryant
Minister of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
2nd Sep 2024
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of excluding properties that are restricted by planning permission for holiday let use only from the removal of the Furnished Lets Allowance.

The Government will abolish the Furnished Holiday Lets (FHLs) tax regime from April 2025, and will apply to all furnished holiday let properties.

This measure will equalise the tax treatment of landlords’ property income and gains.

James Murray
Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)
27th Aug 2024
What steps she is taking to help ensure value for money from public spending.

In her speech on the 29th of July, the Chancellor outlined the tough choices that this government will make to guarantee that we are tackling waste and driving efficiency.

This Government is placing value for money at the core of every decision, The Chancellor announced a new Office for Value for Money that will work system-wide to ensure that value for money is prioritised, and recommend necessary changes to deliver this ambition.

Darren Jones
Chief Secretary to the Treasury
3rd Sep 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to alter planning regulations to require permission for changes from residential use class to a new short term let use class.

I refer my Hon Friend to the answer I gave to Question UIN 426 on 26 July 2024.

Matthew Pennycook
Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
2nd Sep 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will (a) remove the Affordable Housing Grant embargo placed on Cornwall Council and (b) take steps to (i) restore and (ii) backdate the grant.

After being served a regulatory notice for health and safety failings, the previous Government prohibited Cornwall Council from accessing new Affordable Homes Programme funding. While I very much welcome the steps that the authority has taken toward addressing the identified breach, it is for the independent Regulator of Social Housing to determine when it might be appropriate to withdraw the notice.

Following the introduction of the new consumer regulation regime on 1 April, the RSH now issues regulatory judgements, which include new consumer gradings, rather than regulatory notices.

In light of these changes, the Government intends to consider its policy with regard to withholding AHP funding following breaches of consumer standards.

Matthew Pennycook
Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
2nd Sep 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether she plans to replace the Shared Prosperity Fund after it expires.

Decisions on funding post March 2025 are a matter for the Budget.

We are working closely with local authorities and key stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to future funding, so communities continue to benefit from this vital support. Officials remain available to discuss any issues impacting delivery.

Alex Norris
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
2nd Sep 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will extend the Shared Prosperity Fund spend deadline for 12 months until 31 March 2026.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will extend the Towns Deal Fund spend deadline for 12 months until 31 March 2027.

The Towns Fund is due to close in March 2026 with the expectation that all funding recipients will have invested the entirety of their allocation by this date. The Chancellor’s July ‘Public Spending: Inheritance’ speech set out the state of the UK’s spending inheritance from the previous government - a forecasted overspend of £21.9 billion above limits set by the Treasury in the spring. In this context, the Chancellor has set out a path to confirming plans for this year and next at the forthcoming Budget on October 30th. In advance of the Budget, all current funding profiles still hold.
