answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2015 answer text <p>Everyone in Britain has the right to feel safe and at ease in the place where they live. There is no place for hatred against people because of their race, gender, ethnic origin, faith, sexual orientation, age or disability.</p><p>Anti-Muslim attacks rose 30-40% in the first two weeks after the Paris attacks. These attacks are unacceptable in Britain. The Government funds Tell MAMA (Measuring Anti-Muslim Attacks) to encourage reporting of these crimes and to support victims. We have also set up the first cross Government Anti-Muslim Hatred Working Group to raise awareness of Islamaphobic attacks. In addition, the Prime Minister announced that the police will disaggregate hate crime by religion beginning in April 2016. This will help the police to build community trust, target their resources and enable the public to hold them to account.</p><br /> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 15/12/2015 15:09:33 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made, for each local authority in the Yorkshire and Humber region, of whether the social care budget will meet future demand in the period between 2015 and 2020, in the light of the Spending Review and Autumn Statement 2015.

It is for local authorities to allocate funding to individual services from their overall budget. In recognition of increasing demand for social services, the Spending Review announced an ambitious plan to integrate health and social care across the country by 2020, and a £3.5 billion package to support local authorities with responsibility for adult social care to meet the needs of their local population. This includes giving councils the additional freedom to introduce a social care precept onto council tax bills, which local authorities in Yorkshire and Humber with responsibility for Adult Social Care services can choose to take up from 2016-17.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 10/12/2015 15:33:03 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford

tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
uin	HL3977
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2015 answer text <p>The Government intends to move to 100% business rates retention in England by the end of this Parliament.

Over the coming months we will be working with local government on the details of the scheme.</p><p>Ahead of final decisions, it is too early to assess what the impact will be on individual areas or authorities but, before the start of the financial year, local authorities in Yorkshire and Humber estimated that their total business rates income for 2015-16 would be £1.9 billion.</p> answering member printed Baroness Williams of Trafford question first answered 10/12/2015 15:32:09 answering member 4311 label Biography information for Baroness Williams of Trafford
