Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Peterborough of 2 March 2010, Official Report, column 1129W, on bullying: Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, what posts were held by those against whom the complaints were made. [324038]

Barbara Follett: It is not the policy of this Department to publish details relating to complaints which could lead to the identification of the individuals concerned.

Coastal Erosion: Southend on Sea

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what discussions he (a) has had in the last 12 months and (b) plans to have in the next 12 months with other Departments to discuss cliff slippage in Southend; and if he will make a statement. [R] [324395]

Mr. Khan: I have been asked to reply.

No discussions have been held and none are planned.

Community Infrastructure Levy

Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government (1) whether the community infrastructure levy will apply to developments with permitted development rights; [323305]

(2) whether the community infrastructure levy will apply to agricultural building and developments which do not have permitted development rights. [323307]

Mr. Ian Austin: The August 2009 CIL consultation document described the definition of buildings which will be liable to pay CIL, and what exemptions the Government were minded to grant.


29 Mar 2010 : Column 834W

The Government listened to the concerns of the agricultural industry during the consultation period. As a result, the draft regulations published earlier include a transitional exemption from CIL for new buildings that rely on the General Permitted Development Order. The charge cannot apply to new permitted development until 6 April 2013.
