The Insolvency Service will assess the information received and will collect information from third parties including other government departments, to determine whether or not a full investigation is required. This may ultimately lead to director disqualification proceedings or other enforcement action.</p><p>As the administration only occurred last week, the administrator’s report is not expected yet.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 03/10/2019 10:04:02 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst

These BCF plans are agreed locally at Health and Wellbeing Board level as part of the BCF Assurance process, and funding is released under the premise that the requirements and conditions of the Fund are met. The local level allocation data is not readily available at a national level.</p><p>We recognise the importance of carers being able to take a break from their caring role. Through the Carers Action Plan, we have committed to promoting best practice for LAs, service providers and commissioners on carer breaks and respite care. In doing so this will support them to help carers to take a break by highlighting best practice and provide advice and information for carers seeking respite breaks.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 11/03/2019 17:10:29 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/03/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not intend to make any changes to vehicle licensing rules as a direct result of the Juliana judgment. In relation to this judgment, the Department conducted a review of the rules around the UK’s Statutory Off-Road Notification (SORN) regime. A SORN registration is an official step that withdraws a vehicle from being used for travel on roads and the Department’s position is that the exemption from the compulsory motor insurance requirement in these circumstances is compliant with the Juliana judgement. Consequently, the position of the Department is that no further steps are needed to satisfy the requirements of the Juliana judgment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 11/03/2019 14:59:43 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2019 answer text <p>The Government is undertaking a review of the relative needs and resources of local authorities in England, with a view to setting fresh baseline funding levels in 2020-21. We are working closely with local government representatives and others to consider the drivers of local authorities’ costs, the resources available locally to fund services, and how we should account for these in a way that draws a more transparent and understandable link between local circumstances and resource allocations.</p><p>In December 2018 the Government published a consultation paper, which set out a proposed approach to assessing the relative needs of local authorities. Our analysis has shown that for many universal services, the number of people in each local authority area is the most important predictor of the costs that councils face in delivering those services. The consultation therefore proposes the introduction of a simple population-based Foundation Formula to account for many of the universal services that local authorities deliver, alongside several specific funding formulas for some of the largest and most complex service areas.</p><p>To understand whether including additional ‘cost drivers’, including deprivation, significantly improves the precision of the Foundation Formula, a comparison was made between the amount of variation in past expenditure that was explained by different combinations of cost drivers, to the total amount of variation in expenditure. The basis on which this comparison was made is set out in pages 19 to 21 of the consultation paper (link below). Whilst, in aggregate terms, deprivation was not shown to be a major cost driver for the services included in the Foundation Formula, to ensure that deprivation is appropriately accounted for in the relative needs assessment, deprivation, or a suitable proxy for deprivation, is taken into account in four of the service-specific formulas that were proposed.</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-local-authorities-relative-needs-and-resources" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/review-of-local-authorities-relative-needs-and-resources</a>.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 26/02/2019 17:38:29 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
