answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/05/2018 answer text <p>The assumption of the level of funding to be provided for public health in the context of plans for local government to retain 75 per cent of business rates is based upon the indicative public health grant allocations for 2019/20. This was published by the Department of Health and Social Care in December 2017, and outlines the total value of the public health grant in 2019/20 as £3.1 billion. The exact funding level for 2020/21 will be determined by the next Spending Review, due in early 2019, ensuring budgets can be set out in advance for 2020 onwards.</p><p>Our Fair Funding Review of relative needs and resources is determining a new, up-to-date funding distribution for local government finance settlements, with a target implementation of 2020/21. Whilst we are committed to a simple and transparent formula, we are working closely with local government representatives to determine which services require a more sophisticated approach, including Public Health.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 14/05/2018 16:33:10 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Lord Rooker
uin	HL7425
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/05/2018 answer text <p>It would be inappropriate of me to comment on a specific planning application in case the application comes before the Secretary of State for Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government for a decision. The Secretary of State is not currently considering any planning applications from the Forestry Commission for private chalet parks in public forests. If the Secretary of State were to receive such an application in the future, he would consider whether or not it should be called in in light of his published policy on call-ins. The Secretary of State is selective about calling in applications and, in general, will only do so if planning issues of more than local importance are involved.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 15/05/2018 16:24:07 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth
