We have worked with the QEII Centre to consider the concerns raised about Palestine Expo 2017. Following consideration, we have agreed that the event can take place as planned. That said, we have emphasised to the organisers the need for all events at the centre to maintain good community relations and for them to ensure that the event is conducted in a lawful manner and in line with fundamental British values.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of their commitment to consult on 100 per cent retention of business rates by local authorities by the end of this Parliament, what additional resources would be available to each local authority with adult social care functions if they had been able to keep all the business rates collected in their area in 2014–15, and what proportion of their total expenditure that business rate retention amounted to.

The Government intends to move to 100 percent business rates retention in England by the end of this Parliament. We have confirmed that as part of the new system there will continue to be redistribution of local tax revenue between authorities and protections in place for authorities that see their business rates income fall significantly. Over the coming months we will be working with local government on the details of the scheme. Ahead of final decisions, it is too early to assess what the impact will be on individual areas or authorities.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, assuming current prices and that all English local authorities with adult social care provisions make two per cent increases in the council tax precept, how much will be raised in total for adult social care in England (1) in the first year of operation, and (2) for all years of operation up to and including the financial year 2019–20.

answer text

The social care precept created in the 2015 Spending Review works by giving local authorities the flexibility to raise council tax in their area by up to 2 per cent above the existing threshold. If all local authorities used this to its maximum effect it could help raise nearly £2 billion a year by 2019-20. In 2016-17 144 out of 152 (95 per cent) adult social care authorities took up the precept raising £382 million extra for social care this year. The core spending power tables published alongside the Local Government Finance Settlement provide set out estimates of how much each council might raise in later years, and an explanatory note sets out the assumptions that these are based on.

No assessment has been made of the implication of the variation in yields for the NHS locally; this is a tax raised and managed by local government, to be spent on adult social care. Our policy on the social care precept has been set until 2019-20. No decision has been made about the policy after 2020.The government has taken several steps during this Parliament to help secure a strong and sustainable social care system, including an additional £2 billion of funding announced at Budget to support adult social care in the short term. Taken all together, councils have access to £9.25 billion more dedicated funding for social care over the next three years, as a result of measures introduced by the government since 2015. In the longer term, the government is committed to establishing a fair and more sustainable basis for adult social care, in the face of future demographic challenges, and proposals to put the system on a more secure and sustainable long term footing will be set out in a green paper.

Local Authorities fund adult social care services through a combination of local taxes and central grants, and make local choices about how much to spend in order to meet their duties.The improved Better Care Fund grant, worth £1.5 Billion in 2019-20 by allocation to local authorities using a methodology which ensures every authority gets its share of the total funding available through this grant and the Social Care precept on council tax, as measured by the social care Relative Needs Formula.

For estimates of the amount that could be raised in 2017-18, I refer to the Department's response to the written question (attached) HL4037 answered on 28 December 2016, which sets out the potential revenue raised for all local authorities - <a href="http://www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2016-12-12/HL4037/" target="_blank">www.parliament.uk/business/publications/written-questions-answers-statements/written-question/Lords/2016-12-12/HL4037/</a>.My department has made no assessment as to (3). Spending Review decisions on social care services took into account a range of financial and economic factors, including projections and data including on the National Living Wage from the Office of Budget Responsibility and Skills for Care.
