Communities and Local Government, what discretion is available to (a) local housing authorities and (b) registered providers of social housing to waive rent charges accrued between the death of a sole tenant and the formal ending of the tenancy; and what assessment he has made of the consistency with which that discretion is exercised.

Communities and Local Government, what estimate his Department has made of the average rent debt accrued against the estate of a deceased sole social housing tenant between the date of death and the formal ending of the tenancy.

Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of the use of zip cards as a form of voter ID for people aged 16 and 17.
The Government has considered a range of documents for use at the polling station, including Oyster ZIP cards. We recognise that the current Voter ID rules are overly restrictive – however we must take into account that expanding the list of documents accepted at the polling station could make the policy more challenging to administer for polling station staff and could lead to confusion among electors as to what is and is not accepted. We believe that our proposed change to allow the use of bank cards will significantly expand the proportion of legitimate electors easily able to meet the VID requirements and have no plans to make any further additions to the list of accepted documents.

I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to Question UIN 89939 on 20 November 2025.
Communities and Local Government, when the consultation on planning guidance including the provision of swift bricks will (a) commence and (b) complete.
My Department has already published updated Planning Practice Guidance setting out how swift bricks are expected to be used in new development. This outlines that developments should include swift bricks where possible, with the general aim across a development of a minimum of one nest box per unit.
