answer text <p>The Government is continuing business rates relief for solar microgeneration plant and machinery of less than 50kW. These arrangements would also apply under the Smart Export Guarantee as proposed. The current relief provides a 100 per cent business rates exemption for qualifying solar plant and machinery between the installation of the equipment and the next revaluation for business rates planned in 2021.</p> more like this

answer text <p>There are currently no plans to ringfence funding for statutory youth workers and services. Providing councils with the freedom to use funds in a way that responds to local needs and priorities and avoiding the ringfencing of specific funds, is key to ensuring financial sustainability and sound financial management on the part of authorities themselves.</p><p>The 2019-20 settlement confirmed that Core Spending Power is forecast to increase from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. This is a cash-increase of 2.8 per cent and a real-terms increase in resources available to local authorities. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels.</p> more like this

answer text <p>We estimate from local authority data returns for the period 2017-18, that there were 584 properties registered as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs) with mandatory licences in Portsmouth; in Southampton we estimate 592; and in Plymouth we estimate there were 695. Since these figures were published the Government has extended mandatory licensing of HMOs to properties of any size, given 5 or more people from 2 or more households. Data on properties licensed since the extension will not be available until local authority data returns for 2018-19 are published in 2020.</p> more like this

answer text <p>HMO licences are issued by the local authority and are valid for up to 5 years. It is the local authority’s responsibility to ensure a licence is granted to a fit and proper landlord. Those landlords that fail to comply with regulations are subject to enforcement action from the local authority. Enforcement guidance has recently been refreshed and published.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Troubled Families Programme is designed to help families with complex needs achieve better outcomes, such as avoiding children being taken into care, by addressing all the underlying problems faced by family members. A single keyworker works with the whole family to agree goals against their problems which can include poor health, drug and alcohol use, domestic abuse, crime, anti-social behaviour, poor school attendance and financial exclusion. When compared to a matched comparison group, the programme was found to have reduced the proportion of children on the programme going into care by a third</p><p><br> However, the safeguarding of children is always the primary concern and there will sometimes be occasions when, despite the support offered to a family, a child has to be taken into care in order to keep them safe. The national evaluation of the Troubled Families Programme shows that approximately 1.7 per cent of children who have been supported by the Troubled Families Programme were in care 19-24 months after they started the programme. Approximately 500,000 children have received support through the Troubled Families Programme, therefore around 8,500 were in care between 19-24 months after the programme began (These figures are estimates and should be treated as indicative only).</p>

answer text <p>Looking at families where programme start and end data is available, we find that on average, families spend approximately 8 months (259 days) on the programme. However, it is worth noting that, because the Troubled Families Programme is designed to provide support which is tailored to each families’ individual needs, the length of time and type of support provided will vary considerably from family to family.</p><p>Some families do leave the programme prematurely; they might disengage or move to another local authority for example. Comprehensive data is not held centrally, but these numbers are tracked locally.</p> more like this
