answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>The close historic, social and cultural ties between the UK and Ireland have led to the creation of additional rights above those associated with common membership of the EU. The special status afforded to Irish citizens within the UK is rooted in the Ireland Act 1949 and, for the people of Northern Ireland, in the 1998 Belfast Agreement. As outlined in the UK Government policy paper released on 26 June, relating to the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, we want to protect the rights enjoyed by UK and Irish nationals when in the other State.</p><p>We remain committed to preserving the rights of Irish citizens within the UK.</p> answering member constituency Great Yarmouth answering member printed Brandon Lewis question first answered 14/07/2017 13:51:08 answering member 4009 label Biography information for Sir Brandon Lewis

uin	3935
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/07/2017 answer text <p>The financial settlements for South Tyneside and for Gateshead are broadly flat in cash terms between 2016-17 and 19-20. As democratically elected organisations, local authorities such as South Tyneside and Gateshead are independent of central government and are responsible for managing their budgets in line with local priorities. In 2016-17 we offered local authorities a 4-year settlement that guarantees their allocations for Revenue Support Grant, Rural Services Delivery Grant and Transition Grant, and that Business Rates top up and tariff payments will not change to reflect changes in relative needs. This offer was accepted by 97 per cent of councils including South Tyneside and Gateshead, enabling authorities to plan ahead with confidence, and meet the challenge of making savings, while continuing to provide excellent services to local communities.</p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 14/07/2017 17:44:43 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones
