	tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
	uin	HL7960
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2023 answer text <p>On 24 May the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities wrote to the Mayor of Tees Valley, Ben Houchen, confirming that he had taken the exceptional decision to support the commissioning of an independent review to consider the specific allegations made and Tees Valley Combined Authority’s oversight of the South Tees Development Corporation and Teesworks joint venture. A copy of his letter has been placed in the House of Commons Library and has also been published on Gov.uk. Furthermore, on 25 May, a Written Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Local Government, Lee Rowley, was made in the house detailing the exceptional decision taken by the Secretary of State and that the Terms of Reference and appointments to undertake the Review will be announced shortly.</p><p>The Tees Valley Mayor approached Government some time ago regarding the possibility of an independent review of STDC and Teesworks to address allegations which he was concerned could have a damaging effect on investment and job creation across Teesside.</p><p>The Secretary of State considered calls for such an investigation to be led by the National Audit Office. It is not the NAO’s role to audit or examine individual local government bodies and its powers would not normally be used for that purpose. As the letter to the Mayor confirms, the Secretary of State does not think it would be appropriate to expand so significantly the role of the NAO by asking them to lead an inquiry. The Secretary of State has stated that he would welcome the NAO updating its previous review of Government’s funding arrangements for the South Tees Development Corporation.</p><p>The Government intends to publish detailed terms of reference for the independent review shortly and confirm the appointments to the review Panel.</p> answering member printed Baroness Scott of Bybrook question first answered 01/06/2023 12:19:50 answering member 4553 label Biography information for Baroness Scott of Bybrook

	question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Markham on 3 April (HL6059), to list for the three Integrated Care Board chief executives of (1) Humber Coast and Vale, (2) South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, and (3) Cornwall and Isles of Scilly; and why each was judged to be of an exceptional nature and higher rates of pay were therefore supported by Ministers on the basis of each or any of (a) geographical scale and complexity, (b) stakeholder footprint and complexity, or (c) systems complexity.
	tabling member printed	Lord Scriven
	uin	HL7236
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/04/2023 answer text <p>The reason for approving the salary at Humber Coast and Vale was that it features a large physical geography, making it difficult to support coastal towns. It also has the additional system complexity of having two of its foundation trusts, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole, in both quality and financial special measures.</p><p>For South Yorkshire and Bassetlaw, it features system complexity with Sheffield Health and Social Care Foundation Trusts due to being in quality special measures and needing to engage with five local authorities. It also contains former coalfields with considerable health needs.</p><p>Cornwall and Isles of Scilly features the geographical complexities of being a peninsula with 60% of people in settlements of under 30,000, affecting how and where services can be provided. There is also the additional complexity of having a large seasonal variation in population. Both of the two trusts within its remit required improvement as per their Care Quality Commission ratings.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 27/04/2023 11:37:22 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
