In England, council house building starts are now at a 23 year high and twice as many council homes have been built in the last 4 years than from 1997 to 2009. Previously, councils were not encouraged to build new homes from sales receipts and only 1 new council home was built for every 170 Right to Buy sales completed under the last Administration.<\/p>Since the Right to Buy was reinvigorated in England, £730 million in sales receipts are being re-invested in affordable house building; levering a further £1.7 billion of investment over the next 2 years. This means that in total, over £2.4 billion will be raised to invest in affordable house building as a result of the as a result of Right to Buy.<\/p>"}

Transport in London is devolved to the Mayor of London.

TfL pays the bus operating companies to run the routes they are awarded, with all fares collected being retained by TfL. There are currently 22 companies which run one or more routes in London.

The Government is committed to reducing the supply of drugs into prison.

This Government takes recovery and enforcement of financial impositions very seriously and remains committed to finding new ways to ensure impositions are paid and to trace those who do not pay. The amount of money collected has risen year on year since 2012, and reached an all time high of £290 million at the end of 2013/14 and collections continue to rise.<\/p>
<\/p>
The victim surcharge is an ancillary order made by the court when it sentences an offender. Revenue from the surcharge is ring fenced for victim services and the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) distributes this through grants to Police and Crime Commissioners and centrally managed national victim services.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government set out its commitment to ensure offenders contribute more to the cost of victim support services and from October 2012 the victim surcharge on fines was increased and extended to a wider range of court disposals with the amount payable dependant on the seriousness of the sentence.<\/p>
<\/p>
The table below shows the value of all victim surcharge orders made in each financial year since 2011/12 along with the amount of those impositions that were collected or cancelled in the same year of imposition and the amount that remained outstanding at the end of that year. This data is only available from 2011-12 onwards.<\/p>
