Development of the platform will be iterative, to ensure a smooth transition and incorporate what has worked well from the existing service, as well as a variety of users’ needs.</p> answering member constituency South Derbyshire answering member printed Mrs Heather Wheeler question first answered 10/12/2018 16:55:24 answering member 4053 label Biography information for Mrs Heather Wheeler

tabling member printed	Mr Jim Cunningham
uin	199289
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>Central government funding cannot in isolation provide a true representation of local authority finances. The responsibilities, structure and makeup of local authorities have changed significantly since 2010 and spending power, formula grants and settlement funding assessments are not directly comparable over this period. For example, with the introduction of the Business Rates Retention Scheme local authorities estimate they will keep around £2.4 billion in business rates growth in 2018-19.</p><p>Over the five year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20 council’s will have access to more than £200 billion, after last month’s budget. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels. In the long term, next year’s Spending Review will determine funding for local government from 2020-21 onwards and will enable us to look at local government spending in the round.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 10/12/2018 17:13:40 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/12/2018 answer text <p>In 2015, Tees Valley Combined Authority was awarded the long term Investment Fund of £450 million over 30 years as part of its Devolution Deal and Single Pot funding arrangements.

uin	198732
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>As of 10 December 2018, the latest data from the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) shows that 201 households from Grenfell Tower and Grenfell Walk require rehousing.

This includes doing whatever is necessary to ensure households can move in to settled homes as swiftly as possible, but doing so sensitively and on a case by case approach taking into account individual needs.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/12/2018 16:15:40 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 90976 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Council tenants from Barandon Walk, Testerton Walk, Hurstway Walk, Treadgold House and Bramley House who do not feel able to remain in their homes are eligible to be rehoused under the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) Wider Grenfell Rehousing Policy. As of 10 December 2018, 2 of these households are in emergency accommodation (1 is in a hotel, 1 is in a serviced apartment) and 58 households are currently living in temporary accommodation, whilst awaiting a permanent home through the Council’s Housing Register. 7 households have moved to new permanent accommodation and 62 households have now returned to their home on the Lancaster West Estate. In order to prevent individual households being made identifiable, I am unable to provide a breakdown of the location of these households based on which part of the Estate they originally lived in.</p><p>My Department has been working with RBKC to ensure as many residents who feel able to do so can return to their homes, including making improvements to properties on the wider Lancaster West Estate. The Government has allocated £15 million at Autumn Budget 2017 which is being matched by RBKC to invest into the estate to make it a model for social housing and a great place to live. Where residents feel unable to return they have been given priority points on the Housing Register to find permanent homes and in the meantime residents have been offered fully furnished high quality temporary homes that are of comparable quality to permanent housing.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 18/12/2018 16:19:34 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire previous answer version 90977 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
