answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2019 answer text <p>The Housing Act 1985 provides a statutory overcrowding standard, breach of which is a criminal offence.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Core Spending Power is a broad measure of local authority funding including income from Revenue Support Grant, Business Rates Retention, Council Tax and other central government grants. However, reflecting the changing finance and function of local government over the period since 2010, the definition of spending power has also changed. Therefore, spending power cannot be compared over this period. The Department does not publish real terms figures, but cash terms spending power figures by local authority are available at the below links:<br> <br> <a href="https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505110052/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1112/grant.htm" target="_blank">https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505110052/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1112/grant.htm</a></p><p><a href="https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505110056/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1213/grant.htm" target="_blank">https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505110056/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1213/grant.htm</a></p><p><a href="https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505104701/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1314/settle.htm" target="_blank">https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20140505104701/http://www.local.communities.gov.uk/finance/1314/settle.htm</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/final-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2014-to-2015" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/final-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2014-to-2015</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-in-spending-power-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2015-to-2016" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/change-in-spending-power-final-local-government-finance-settlement-2015-to-2016</a></p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/provisional-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2019-to-2020" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/provisional-local-government-finance-settlement-england-2019-to-2020</a></p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 18/12/2018 16:24:20 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
