answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The Government currently has no plans to provide for local authorities to hold registers or enable inspections in respect of short term lettings. Local authorities have powers to address overcrowding where they consider action would be appropriate. Whether a property is sublet in a manner which is contrary to the terms of a lease is a matter to be resolved between the leaseholder and the freeholder.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 17/11/2016 17:09:27 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether exit payments may be made to councillors when a councillor loses office or is no longer required to undertake specific duties within a local authority.
tabling member printed	Baroness Finn
uin	HL2869
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The rules on councillors’ allowances are set out in the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003. The rules are clear that allowances are paid on a pro rata basis should a councillor lose office or, is no longer required to undertake a specific duty, during the course of the year. The rules make no provision for allowances to be paid as a result of loss of office or no longer performing specific duties. Any such exit payments would therefore be unlawful. Whilst I am aware that the last Labour Government proposed legislation to facilitate such 'golden goodbyes' (DCLG, <em>The Government Response to the Councillors Commission</em>, July 2008, p. 22), we have no plans to amend the law in this respect.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 17/11/2016 16:17:39 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
