To ask the Secretary of State for Health, over what period NHS England plans to run Winter Daily Situation Reports during the winter of 2015; over what period NHS England ran those reports in the past; by what process NHS England decides on the time period over which to run additional winter monitoring; and what guidance his Department issues to NHS England on the time period over which to run that monitoring.

Jane Ellison

Winter Daily Situation Reports will commence on 1 December 2015, and will continue through to the end of February 2016. NHS England will publish the first data on 11 December 2015.

Winter Daily Situation Reports were first collected in November 2010. The table below shows the periods for which the data has been collected in previous years.

Notes:

¹ Collected by Department of Health

Until 2012-13, Daily Winter Situation Reports were collected by the Department. Since 2013-14 they have been collected by NHS England. Each year, NHS England reviews reporting requirements over the winter, in discussion with partners. This includes the duration of the collection.

The Department has not issued guidance to NHS England about the time period for which Winter Daily Situation Reports should be collected.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what role his Department played in NICE’s decision not to publish safe nurse staffing guidance in accident and emergency departments along with four evidence reviews of safe nurse staffing; and if he will make a statement.

Ben Gummer

Responsibility for developing safe staffing guidance in a number of clinical areas passed from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) to NHS England in June 2015, and is being led by Dr Mike Durkin working with others across the National Health Service. This work will include guidance on safe staffing in accident and emergency departments, and the guidance will draw on the earlier work undertaken by NICE. When the responsibility for this work was transferred, NICE concluded that it would be unhelpful, ahead of the further work to be done on the guidance, to publish the material that it had brought together. The Department discussed these options with NICE and agreed with their decision.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-27.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many applications to county courts have been made by tenants against landlords for failure to comply with their Tenancy Deposit Scheme obligations under Part 6, Chapter 4, Sections 212-213 of the Housing Act 2004 in each year since those provisions came into force; how many such cases were found in favour of the (a) landlord and (b) tenant; and of those such cases found in favour of the tenant, how many landlords were fined the full amount of three times the amount of the deposit.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether the Government plans to compel the housing associations who voted against an extension of the Right to Buy discount in the National Housing Federation ballot on 2 October 2015 to comply with that policy.

Brandon Lewis

We are pleased to see that 93% of the total housing association stock is covered by those associations who said yes to the offer.

We would like as many associations as possible to sign up to the deal – so that their tenants can access the same home ownership opportunities as other tenants – and the opportunity is still there for them to do so.

The Housing and Planning Bill will also introduce a clause where the Regulator will have the power to monitor and report on how private registered providers are supporting their tenants into home ownership.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-23.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, whether it is his policy that the Right to Buy extension for housing associations will apply to tenants whose properties were built exclusively with private finance.

Brandon Lewis

Under the agreement with the National Housing Federation, there will be a presumption that housing association tenants will have the right to purchase their home at Right to Buy level discounts.

The agreement states that housing associations may exercise discretion over sales of properties provided through charitable or public-benefit resources or bequeathed for charitable or public-benefit purposes, and in the possession of the housing association before it became registered under the Housing Act 1974 (or later equivalent legislation).

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2015 to Question 8254, how many levy exemption certificates there were in each region and constituent part of the UK in each of the last four years; and what the type of renewable and low carbon technology was for each such certificate in each of those years.

Andrea Leadsom

Ofgem publish annual summary information on the number of levy exemption certificates issued by country of generation and by renewable technology type. Information for the period April 2009 to March 2015 is set out in two reports available on the Ofgem website at:

https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/publications-and-updates/summary-renewable-levy-exemption-certificates-lecs-april-2009-march-2014;

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Tulip Siddiq on 2015-10-09.

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, pursuant to the Answer of 8 September 2015 to Question 8254, what the overall value is of climate change levy tax waived for levy exemption certificates (a) in each region and (b) for each type of renewable and low carbon technology in each of the last four years.

Mr David Gauke

The Climate Change Levy (CCL) renewable source exemption was administered on a national basis and available to all renewable technology. Only a very detailed analysis of Ofgem’s records would enable the government to provide a breakdown of value of CCL waived in each region and for each type of renewable technology, which cannot be justified on the grounds of cost.
