When we approach local government reorganisation, it is only done where there is local support. Proposals like those in North Yorkshire are subject to consultation exercises with stakeholders, including the local population. Any further negotiations would follow legal requirements.

Happy to thank volunteers. Councils should use their powers as lockdown lifts; littering is a criminal offence with penalties up to £150 and guidance for local authorities on power usage.

Ministerial engagements are published through official notifications; donations over statutory amounts are also disclosed. Planning decisions and policy production have nothing to do with political party donations, maintaining complete separation.

The hon. Gentleman's point was low. The reforms aim to help people get onto the housing ladder, supporting those in construction jobs and trying to restart after the pandemic.

My hon. Friend is right. Changes on high streets require fundamental reforms, which the Government are doing in contrast to Labour's review-led policy without action.

I am disappointed to hear those remarks from the hon. Gentleman. Casting aspersions about the integrity of Dame Alison Nimmo is a new low for the Opposition. Alison is one of the most respected women in business today. She led The Crown Estate impeccably for many years, and now we are fortunate to benefit from her experience, commitment and public service.

I was pleased to receive Goole's town investment plan in January. It includes ambitious plans to diversify, to repurpose the town centre and to revitalise Goole's economy. My officials are conducting their assessment in the usual way and I look forward to making an announcement in due course, which, if it is a positive one, will build on the excellent news we had at the Budget of a freeport in the Humber, bringing jobs and regeneration to the whole region.

The hon. Gentleman raises an extremely important point, as 53% of people sleeping rough on our streets are ex-offenders, so a crucial component of our strategy to end rough sleeping must be ensuring that more offenders, whether male or female, leave prisons to good-quality, secure accommodation, whether it is in the private rental sector or in social housing. I am working very closely with my right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Chancellor; we put in a bid together to the spending review, to which the hon. Gentleman refers. I will be able to update him on those plans in due course.

I was pleased to read of the Woodland Trust's recent campaign. My Department received over 10,000 postcards from supporters of the trust, which I have had the pleasure of looking over in recent months. We have proposed changes to the national planning policy framework to set an expectation that all new residential streets will be lined with trees.

My hon. Friend is a doughty campaigner for her constituency. If I heard her question correctly, she asks about the support we provided for renters during the pandemic. We wanted to strike the right balance between helping tenants in need—that is why we increased the welfare provision, increased discretionary housing payments and increased the local housing allowance to 30% of local market costs—and ensuring that landlords have access to justice.

I met representatives of the Scottish Government two weeks ago.

As champions of freedom and democracy, we are living up to our historical responsibilities to the people of Hong Kong. We have provided an additional £43 million package across all UK nations to provide targeted support for new arrivals, including English language tuition where necessary and help with housing costs for those who need it. Welcome hubs are being created in 12 locations across the UK to offer practical assistance such as applying for a school place, registering with a GP, and setting up a business.
