The definition of Spending Power is not comparable over the period 2010-11 to 2020-21 due to changes in the finance and function of local government. A consistent measure of Core Spending Power is however available for the period 2015-16 to 2020-21.

The Learning Centre will explore the role of our Parliament and democratic institutions in the Holocaust, what we did and what more we could have done both at the time and subsequently to tackle the persecution of the Jewish people and other groups.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 14/02/2020 11:54:09 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

This will help us prevent people from falling into homelessness while also supporting more people into homeownership.</p><p>We listen to the needs of tenants and in 2018 published A New Deal for Social Housing, moving forwards with the upcoming Social Housing White Paper. The White Paper will set out measures to empower tenants and support the continued supply of social homes. This will include measures to provide greater redress, better regulation and improve the quality of social housing</p><p>We also engage research and evidence to inform our policy decisions on housing. In 2018 a literature review was commissioned from The Centre for Housing Policy at York University. This review of social housing considered current policies and public attitudes, as well as developments in reducing crime levels, area deprivation and helping to keep residents out of poverty.
