Written Question
Housing: Lifts
Monday 10th September 2018

Asked by: John Howell (Conservative - Henley)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, whether he plans to bring forward legislative proposals to ensure that buildings constructed for (a) elderly and (b) vulnerable people have more than one lift and such people are not trapped in their homes if one lift breaks down; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Kit Malthouse

Building Regulations guidance in Approved Document M states that a passenger lift is the most suitable form of access for people moving from one story to another. Government is expecting to receive advice from the Building Regulations Advisory Committee on the scope of a review of this guidance in Approved Document M.

Planning: Local Communities

"I want to make two quick points. First, I try to tell people as often as possible about the three-year land supply. As the Government’s neighbourhood planning champion, I am happy to speak to her parish councils about it. Secondly, we argued that once things were in the annual monitoring …..."
