question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they will publish details of their plans to devolve responsibility for Attendance Allowance to local authorities.
tabling member printed	Baroness King of Bow
uin	HL690
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government has announced that by the end of the Parliament local government will retain 100% of local business rates and new responsibilities will be devolved alongside this. As part of this, the government will consider giving councils in England more responsibility to support older people with care needs. Any change would not affect existing Attendance Allowance claimants, and any new responsibilities would be matched by the transfer of equivalent spending power. The Government intends to consult on this in due course.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member printed Baroness Altmann question first answered 21/06/2016 12:47:44 answering member 4533 label Biography information for Baroness Altmann
