Asked by: John Whittingdale (Conservative - Maldon)
Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how much funding her Department plans to provide Maldon District Council for culture projects.
Answered by Alex Norris - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
This government was elected on a manifesto that stressed a partnership approach with local authorities and an intention to stabilise the funding system, moving away from wasteful competition. Local places will rightly be seeking clarity on previous funding commitments. The government is giving full consideration to this matter, including the hard work undertaken on projects to date.
During this time officials remain available for conversations and to discuss any issues impacting delivery that may arise. Officials will keep projects informed on any programme updates.

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if she will make it her policy to reduce the proportion of the selling price of a park home that is legally required to be paid to the site owner.
Answered by Matthew Pennycook - Minister of State (Housing, Communities and Local Government)
The park homes sector is an important part of the housing market. We recognise that there are longstanding concerns about the regulation of park home sites and the requirement to pay site owners a commission upon sale of a park home. We will set out the Government’s position on these matters in due course.
