  • 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?

  • Question and Answer Session: London Development Agency Settlement (Supplementary) [5]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    Can I just understand the numbers a bit better. You talked about the £56 million that was all that was committed up to now but we have got £85.6 million in the budgets for this current year. Is that £85.6 million funded or is there now more in this current year, 2011/12, than that number?

    To pick up from what John was asking you, will you ensure that borough councillors and borough representatives will be on the new Board and representatives of the local communities?

  • Question and Answer Session: Mayoral Development Corporation (Supplementary) [7]

    • Question by: Mike Tuffrey
    • Meeting date: 16 March 2011
    In the minute or two left I do not have the time to debate the sweep of the abolition of the Greater London Council (GLC) because it was too interventionist, the strategic role this body was meant to have and now a much more interventionist, but I think many of us round here would be very concerned at planning powers being taken off boroughs as a way of doing business. First question then, very quickly, do you agree that, if we are to go down this MDC route, there should be a very tight set of objectives and time limited...

  • Childcare Targets

    • Reference: 2006/0138-1
    • Question by: Dee Doocey
    • Meeting date: 11 October 2006
    Given that there is a target of 1050 new Childcare Spaces (capital funding) between 2005-2008, why does the LDA Corporate Performance Report only include target figures for Childcare Places (i.e. under the Childcare Affordability Programme)?
