question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many court cases have been brought by parochial church councils to recover chancel repair liability since the Aston Cantlow judgment by the House of Lords in 2003.
tabling member printed	Lord Avebury
uin	HL3304
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>The decision of the House of Lords in the case of <em>Parochial Church Council of the Parish of Aston Cantlow and Wilmcote with Billesley, Warwickshire v. Wallbank and another </em>[2003] UKHL 37 confirmed that chancel repair liability was a valid and enforceable property right. Before 13 October 2013 the liability did not have to be entered on the land register to bind buyers of registered land. Now buyers can be certain whether a property may be subject to the liability before they buy, helping them to make informed decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Information as to the number of cases parochial church councils have brought since June 2003 to recover chancel repair liability is not available and could only be obtained from court records at disproportionate expense. The Government is however aware that not all parochial church councils decided to register their entitlement to the benefit of the liability.</p> answering member printed Lord Faulks question first answered 16/12/2014 17:09:44 answering member 4183 label Biography information for Lord Faulks

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government how much money they have redirected from acute services to community services in England, for example through community provision for people with severe learning difficulties; and how much money is flowing in the opposite direction.
tabling member printed	Lord Mawson
uin	HL3310
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2014 answer text <p>Local National Health Service clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) are responsible for funding the majority of acute and community services. NHS England sets CCG funding allocations but does not direct CCGs in how those funds should be applied between different services. The in-year reporting of CCG expenditure does not provide the fine detail on movements in expenditure between acute services and community services. However, the NHS does produce programme budgeting data on historical expenditure which provides information on expenditure by major health condition as well as, for last three years, a breakdown by care-setting. The data on expenditure by care-settings is relatively new and is not yet considered robust enough to make comparisons of expenditure by care-setting. The 2013-14 data will be available in 2015, under a revised format.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 16/12/2014 16:28:02 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
