That is why we have protected £315 million for local authority homelessness prevention funding, and secured £149 million central government funding in this Parliament.</p><p>We have a strong homelessness safety net, but we want to go further by putting prevention at the heart of our approach to tackling homelessness. That is why we are supporting Bob Blackman MP’s Private Members’ Bill. The Homelessness Reduction Bill will significantly reform England’s homelessness legislation, ensuring that more people get the help they need earlier to prevent them from becoming homeless in the first place.</p><p>Homelessness statistics are recorded at a local authority level.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/05/2016 answer text <p>The Government notes the APPG’s report on Scottish Power and the PowerPlan Cashback Promise.</p><p>Two investigations have already been undertaken into the ‘cashback companies’ and Scottish Power. The first in 2002 was by the Office of Fair Trading, which made recommendations concerning the rules for customers to claim cashback and which the companies implemented. The second, in 2004, was by the Department of Trade and Industry under s447 of the Companies Act 1985. This investigation is confidential, and the findings are prevented by law from publication.</p><p>However it was concluded that there were no grounds for taking further action either against the companies, Scottish Power or the directors involved. This was reviewed again in 2014 when reports were received from the liquidators of the companies, but the position did not change. I can confirm that no new s447 investigation will be taking place.</p><p>The Government has no power to determine liability in this case and has no legal standing to intervene in what is a commercial claim by the liquidator of a limited company against Scottish Power. The liquidation of the companies involved in the scheme is still under way, and the creditors of those companies will receive reports from the liquidators if they are to be paid further dividends.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 10/05/2016 11:20:06 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
