  • Impact of Housing Related Welfare Reforms

    • Reference: 2013/0005-1
    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    What do you perceive will be the impact on London of housing related welfare reforms - including linking the uprating of Local Housing Allowance to the Consumer Price Index rather than rent inflation and introducing under-occupation penalties - given London's existing shortages of affordable rented accommodation and overcrowding problems?

  • Bedroom Tax (Supplementary) [1]

    • Question by: Stephen Knight
    • Meeting date: 13 March 2013
    I wondered if I could very quickly ask Mayor Pipe a question on the Ministerial statement yesterday on the 'bedroom tax'. It appears to me that what is being said is rather than change the actual proposals so that the categories talked about are exempt, what is being done is that the Government is asking local authorities to use discretionary payments to effectively pay that money back. Is that right? Can you explain what the process would be and, importantly, is the Government actually funding this?

  • Climate Change (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    Can I just pursue this point, to agree with Jenny's point - the fuel poverty point - that by focusing on the affordable housing you get an added social benefit, but the Strategy focuses on the larger strategic developments. Isn't there a lot more that we can be doing given that I think the statistic is that 98% of all residential completions in the last year for which figures were available, were fewer than 100. By focusing on the larger ones we are missing the greater number. Are you satisfied that enough is going on to get the standards up...

  • Housing Demand (Supplementary) [4]

    • Question by: Sally Hamwee
    • Meeting date: 24 October 2007
    Before we move on to the next question I wonder if I could just ask you this: you have referred, Neale and David, to the relatively short time period covered by the Strategy. Leaving aside issues of the outcomes of elections and so on, what is anticipated in terms of roll forward of the Strategy, revision after it has been adopted and when a new one would come, or a revised one would come, onto the stocks to take us beyond 2011?
