The projection is for spending on NHS Continuing Healthcare to increase by over 20% by 2020/21, or an average of approximately 3.9% per year.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 06/06/2018 15:14:01 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage

uin	148785
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2018 answer text <p>The Housing and Planning Act 2016 includes changes to the rules on succession that deliver a consistent approach across all local authority tenancies, and ensure that common law partners are put on an equal footing with married couples and civil partners. When in force, all spouses and partners will have a statutory right to succeed to a lifetime tenancy. Local authorities will be able to grant additional succession rights, and where they do so the tenant will receive a five year fixed term tenancy. I believe that these changes strike the right balance between protection for tenants and their families, and flexibility for local authority landlords.</p> answering member constituency Esher and Walton answering member printed Dominic Raab question first answered 06/06/2018 15:18:38 answering member 4007 label Biography information for Dominic Raab
