Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Bill

"The hon. Gentleman must know that his colleague, the hon. Member for Na h-Eileanan an Iar (Angus Brendan MacNeil), has completely misconstrued the arrangements. No member country of the Union has a veto over Union matters such as withdrawal from the EU. Scotland not only has a complete veto over …..."

Secure Tenancies (Victims of Domestic Abuse) Bill

"I understand what the hon. Lady is trying to do, but I do not think her new clause does it, because it says that the Government should “review” the situation. What powers would she want the Government to take to override devolved Governments?..."

Secure Tenancies (Victims of Domestic Abuse) Bill

"When I asked the hon. Member for Great Grimsby (Melanie Onn) whether there was a way of overriding the devolved Administrations, she did not seem to understand the question properly, so I am glad that the Minister is explaining that that cannot be done. It is interesting that the Opposition’s …..."

Members for Great Grimsby (Melanie Onn) and for Birmingham, Yardley (Jess Phillips) have made powerful points about family break-up and the role that the legislation could play in all that?

Rating (Property in Common Occupation) and Council Tax (Empty Dwellings) Bill

"Does my hon. Friend agree, though, that quite a few of these empty homes are owned by the public sector, which may not respond to this incentive? If only my council had lots of empty homes, it would be much easier, but it does not, and we are under enormous …..."

Written Question
Social Rented Housing: Schools
Tuesday 3rd April 2018

Asked by: Lord Redwood (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government:

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, if he will estimate the average first year public sector set-up cost for a new resident in any part of England needing social housing and two school places for children.

Answered by Heather Wheeler

The Department has made no such estimate. Local authorities are responsible for drawing up and managing their own social housing allocation schemes, within the legislative framework.

Will the Secretary of State help such local authorities through experiments to find ways of increasing …..."
