answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2019 answer text <p>The Government has given strong powers and incentives to local authorities to tackle empty homes. From 1 April 2019, they will have discretion to increase the maximum level of premium charged on properties that have been empty for more than two years, from 50 per cent to 100 per cent extra council tax, through new powers afforded by the Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Act 2018. In addition, the New Homes Bonus allows local authorities to earn the same financial reward for bringing an empty home back into use as building a new one.</p><p>Under certain circumstances, local authorities can apply for an Empty Dwelling Management Order (EDMO) to temporarily take over the management of a property that has been empty for more than two years in order to bring it back into use. They must provide evidence that the property represents a nuisance, and that there is community support for their proposal.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 18/03/2019 16:00:17 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

tabling member constituency	West Lancashire

uin	231966
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/03/2019 answer text <p>Local government core funding is unringfenced, allowing councils to set their own service budgets according to local priorities. The 2019-20 settlement confirmed that Core Spending Power is forecast to increase from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. This is a cash-increase of 2.8 per cent and a real-terms increase in resources available to local authorities. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels. This year’s Spending Review will determine funding for local government from 2020-21 onwards.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 19/03/2019 15:29:26 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
