question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what was the total amount of funding made available to local authorities to acquire commercial properties for investment purposes in each of the financial years since and including 2014–15 in (1) England, (2) Wales, (3) Scotland, and (4) Northern Ireland.
tabling member printed	Lord Hollick
uin	HL13392
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>In England, commercial property investments, like any other asset purchases are categorised as capital expenditure. The decision making process for all capital investment and funding including commercial property investments is devolved to each individual local authority. Central Government sets the framework which local authorities must operate within and it is designed to ensure that the capital expenditure plans of local authorities are affordable, prudent and sustainable.</p><p>No direct funding is made available to local authorities for commercial asset acquisitions from Central Government. If a local authority chooses to purchase commercial assets they will have to finance it using one of 3 potential sources. These are:</p><p>1. Capital receipts - Statute states that funds generated through the sale of assets must be used for the purchase of future assets or for the repayment of debt</p><p>2. Direct revenue transfers - Revenue funds can be used to fund capital expenditure</p><p>3. Borrowing - If borrowing is used the local authority must ensure that the amount borrowed is affordable by having regard to statutory guidance. This involves ensuring that all debt servicing costs are funded through available revenue resources.</p><p>Local authorities are not required to disclose how they have financed each capital investment, therefore, it is not possible to identify the mix sources that have been used to fund commercial property investments.</p><p>As local authority financing is a devolved matter, all questions about commercial property investments by local authorities in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland need to be addressed to the devolved administrations.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 11/02/2019 16:49:06 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/02/2019 answer text <p>All forms of hate crime are completely unacceptable including antisocial or unlawful behaviour on the grounds of faith or race, this includes protection to those from other EU member states and other countries. This country has one of the strongest legal frameworks in the world to report, record and prosecute hate crime.</p><p>In October 2018, the government published a refreshed hate crime action plan setting out the Government’s approach to tackling hate crime, ranging from prevention to victim support. A major national communications campaign was launched in late 2018 to raise awareness about hate crime.</p><p>There is no room for complacency. As we prepare to leave the European Union, it is entirely responsible and appropriate we continue to work closely with all of our operational partners, including the police, to ensure we are alive to any issues that may arise.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 11/02/2019 16:43:59 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
