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 reverse the decision to prohibit public worship during the period of the new national covid-19 lockdown restrictions from 5 November 2020.
Answered by Luke Hall
Restrictions were brought on 5 November to urgently limit the spread of Covid-19. This meant that we had to close places of worship for communal worship, along with other premises where people gather and interact.
These restrictions have not been introduced lightly. We recognise that religious practice is of fundamental importance to millions of people which is why we are enabling individual prayer in places of worship for those religions who practice in this way.

Question
to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:
To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, what estimate he has made of the amount of brownfield land in the Wolverhampton local authority area.
Answered by Christopher Pincher
The National Planning Policy Framework defines brownfield as ‘previously developed land’. Our latest statistics, Land Use in England, 2018, show that 44.7 per cent of City of Wolverhampton Council’s area is brownfield land.
It is for each local authority to consider how best the land in its area should be used, and plan accordingly, and to identify and publish in its Brownfield Register those sites it finds suitable for housing-led redevelopment.
