question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether exit payments may be made to councillors when a councillor loses office or is no longer required to undertake specific duties within a local authority.
tabling member printed	Baroness Finn
uin	HL2869
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2016 answer text <p>The rules on councillors’ allowances are set out in the Local Authorities (Members’ Allowances) (England) Regulations 2003. The rules are clear that allowances are paid on a pro rata basis should a councillor lose office or, is no longer required to undertake a specific duty, during the course of the year. The rules make no provision for allowances to be paid as a result of loss of office or no longer performing specific duties. Any such exit payments would therefore be unlawful. Whilst I am aware that the last Labour Government proposed legislation to facilitate such 'golden goodbyes' (DCLG, <em>The Government Response to the Councillors Commission</em>, July 2008, p. 22), we have no plans to amend the law in this respect.</p> answering member printed Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth question first answered 17/11/2016 16:17:39 answering member 4282 label Biography information for Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

tabling member printed	Baroness Thomas of Winchester
uin	HL2869
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p /> <p>We have provided funding in the pathfinder sites and all current live Universal Credit sites through Delivery Partnership Agreements (DPAs) which were based on local agreement as to the likely level on need for support in each area.</p><p> </p><p>From February 2015, Universal Credit will rollout to new single claimants who would currently be eligible for Jobseekers Allowance across all remaining jobcentres and local authorities. This provides the opportunity to build a secure platform for the introduction of Universal Support by mobilising local partnerships nationwide, putting in place a robust infrastructure for more complex and vulnerable claimants.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will put in place Delivery Partnership Agreements (DPAs) with local authorities. As in the current live sites these will provide a framework to make available funded support for those who need additional help.</p><p> </p><p>How much funding is targeted for specific purposes by the Department will be determined by the individual partnerships, based on local need.</p> answering member printed Lord Freud question first answered 01/12/2014 15:25:45 answering member 3893 label Biography information for Lord Freud
