Planning Permissions and Unauthorised Developments
"In support of my hon. Friend the Member for Orpington (Gareth Bacon), a close constituency neighbour, he and I both have a problem, because people gamble with the weekend.

Building Safety Bill
"I thank my very good friend for being so nice to me—decent of him. In sum, all these special measures are devices to ensure that, once people are identified as culpable to fix the problem, they are pinged and have to do it. Is that correct?..."Bob Stewart - View Speech

To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, on what date he expects to deliver the Government's commitment to withdraw the January 2020 consolidated advice note.

Written Question
Tuesday 16th March 2021
Asked by:
Bob Stewart (Conservative - Beckenham)
Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will extend the date by which local authorities in England can hold their AGMs to 31 July 2021 so that they have the opportunity to hold those meetings in person after the proposed end of covid-19 lockdown restrictions in June 2021.
Answered by Eddie Hughes
The Government keeps all policy under review. However, to extend the timeframe by which annual meetings are held would require primary legislation.
We have received representations from local authorities and sector representative organisations making the case for the continuation of remote meetings beyond 7 May 2021 and are carefully considering next steps in this area.

Regulatory Impact Assessments (Legislative Scrutiny)
"I thank my good friend for allowing me to intervene. In my constituency I have a huge backlash from residential landlords about this extension.
