	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government does not have any plans to remove the sanction of imprisonment for non-payment of council tax. However, committal to prison should only ever be the last resort in the collection of council tax arrears. Magistrates courts can only commit someone to prison for non-payment of council tax where they are satisfied that the failure to pay is due to their wilful refusal or culpable neglect. The number of committal warrants has been decreasing, with 34 issued in England in 2017-18.</p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall grouped question UIN 286631 question first answered 09/09/2019 12:53:47 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>Between October 2018 and March 2019 local authorities were invited to bid for funding for one or more of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway interventions, for their area.</p><p>53 ‘early adopters’ of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway were announced between December 2018 and February 2019, backed by £16 million of funding. This included 11 Somewhere Safe to Stay hubs across the country, which have been operational since the spring, helping to provide rapid support to rough sleepers and those at risk.</p><p>As part of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway 2019/20 round, in May 2019 we announced funding of £25 million for a further 108 areas, across all four elements of the Rapid Rehousing Pathway. This included funding for an additional 20 Somewhere Safe to Stay hubs.</p><p>In total, and accounting for overlap between the two funding rounds, between December 2018 and May 2019 we announced 137 Rapid Rehousing Pathway areas, backed by £41 million of funding. This, therefore, represents an average award to local authorities of approximately £300,000.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Thornbury and Yate answering member printed Luke Hall grouped question UIN 285064 285206 question first answered 09/09/2019 12:53:03 answering member 4450 label Biography information for Luke Hall
