house id	2
legislature	25277 pref label House of Lords
question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, in relation to duties imposed on local authorities by the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill for which there is an enforcement authority, whether there are any other instances in statute in which persons are able to make applications for judicial review of the local authority, rather than the enforcement authority.

uin	HL674
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/12/2023 answer text <p>It is expected that the enforcement regime will act as the main deterrent to breaches of the ban. However, where the public body in question would be amenable to judicial review in relation to the decision, the Bill is clear that judicial review is still available to any persons, irrespective of the other enforcement provisions in the Bill. This is in line with the normal principle that the exercise of public functions should be subject to judicial review.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 12/12/2023 16:45:25 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2023 answer text <p>In the context of the growing pressure on Northern Irish budgets it is right that the United Kingdom Government should consider its approach to funding available for Northern Ireland in the round. £30 million has been reserved for Northern Ireland from Round 3 of the Levelling Up Fund. As part of our commitment to levelling up, we want to work with a restored Executive to find the best approach to supporting people in Northern Ireland, taking account of current budget pressures.</p><p>DLUHC wrote to the Northern Ireland Affairs Committee and the Northern Ireland Civil Service directly to let them know of our approach to Northern Ireland for Round 3 of the Levelling Up Fund. All Northern Ireland MPs were notified by a letter from Minister Young and DLUHC officials contacted relevant Northern Irish stakeholders on the day of the announcement.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 05/12/2023 14:46:40 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn

question text	To ask His Majesty's Government, in relation to clause 12(2) of the Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill, what decisions about the management of an asset of a pension fund are not covered by decisions about the acquisition, retention or disposal of an asset of a pension fund.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2023 answer text <p>The Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill only applies in relation to Local Government Pension Scheme funds when scheme managers are making an investment decision. Scheme managers are defined by statute and are predominately local authorities. A fund investment decision is defined in the Bill as a decision about the acquisition, management, retention, or disposal of an asset. Clause 1 does not apply to any decision that is not made by a scheme manager, nor any decision that falls outside of this definition.</p> answering member printed Baroness Penn question first answered 05/12/2023 14:03:53 answering member 4726 label Biography information for Baroness Penn
