Communities and Local Government, what discussions she has had with the the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on proposed capital funding for the Coalfields Regeneration Trust to support SME industrial development.
I refer the Hon.Member to Question UIN 114606 answered on 9 March.
What steps she is taking with local authorities to help uplift public sector pay for people in local government.
Local authorities are independent employers responsible for setting pay and terms and conditions for their staff. There is no role for the department in this process. We are supporting councils to fix the foundations by reviewing the underlying funding formula, bringing back multiyear settlements and targeting high demand areas like Adult Social Care, Children’s Services, SEND and Temporary Accommodation.
Communities and Local Government, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of incorporating the agent of change principle in future legislative proposals on planning issues relating to grassroots music venues.
The government understand the importance of safeguarding grassroots music venues that may be at risk due to development which affects them. The agent of change policy in the National Planning Policy Framework makes clear that in such circumstances the developer is expected to put suitable mitigation measures in place, and that in no circumstances should an existing business or community facility face unreasonable restrictions on its operation as a result of new development.
