The Annual Investment Allowance (AIA) provides companies with a 100% first-year deduction for their capital investment, up to the AIA limit. In order to support businesses to invest, the government increased the permanent level of the AIA from £25,000 to £200,000 from 1 January 2016. In 2016-17, it is forecast that the AIA provided support to businesses of £2.7 billion.

Time spent in temporary accommodation ensures no family is without a roof over their head. The Government is assisting areas to ensure that families spend no longer than 6 weeks in B&Bs, which includes protecting and maintaining the homelessness prevention funding at £315 million. We have also replaced the Department of Work and Pension\u2019s Temporary Accommodation Management Fee with a Flexible Homelessness Support Grant which local authorities can use more strategically to prevent and tackle homelessness. This amounts to £402 million over the two years from 2017/18.<\/p>

While the number of households in temporary accommodation is below the 2004 peak, the law is clear that households with dependent children should only be accommodated in B&B in an emergency and for no longer than six weeks, which commences when the household moves in.<\/p>

We are remodelling the statutory homelessness data collection alongside the introduction of the Homelessness Reduction Act to give us better insights into the causes of homelessness and the support people need. We will move from aggregated to case-level data which will give us a much more detailed picture of what help people have received and whether it helped prevent their homelessness.<\/p>

Local authorities have a duty to ensure that any accommodation provided for a homeless household under the homelessness legislation must be suitable.

Time spent in temporary accommodation ensures no family is without a roof over their head. The Government is assisting areas to ensure that families spend no longer than 6 weeks in B&Bs, which includes protecting and maintaining the homelessness prevention funding at £315 million. We have also replaced the Department of Work and Pension\u2019s Temporary Accommodation Management Fee with a Flexible Homelessness Support Grant which local authorities can use more strategically to prevent and tackle homelessness. This amounts to £402 million over the two years from 2017/18.<\/p>

While the number of households in temporary accommodation is below the 2004 peak, the law is clear that households with dependent children should only be accommodated in B&B in an emergency and for no longer than six weeks, which commences when the household moves in.<\/p>
