  • Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

    Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2016-07-18.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of whether Brexit will increase, decrease, or have no material impact on, the need for more housing in England.

    Lord Bourne of Aberystwyth

    It is too early to say. Whatever the impact, this government remains committed to increasing the supply of homes for the 86 percent of people who aspire to own their own home. The Spending Review doubled the housing budget and set out the most ambitious affordable housing programme since the 1970s, which will help us to achieve our ambition of delivering one million homes.

    Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2016-10-10.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to preserve UK citizens’ legal right to live in and travel freely across Europe following Brexit.

    Lord Bridges of Headley

    The Prime Minister has been clear that she wants to protect the status of UK nationals already living in mainland Europe, and that of EU nationals already living here. The only circumstances in which that would not be possible is if British citizens’ rights in other EU member states were not protected in return. UK nationals that have lived lawfully and continuously for a period of 5 years in a given EU Member State will automatically have a permanent right to reside there.

    The reciprocal rights and entitlements that will apply following the UK’s exit are subject to the wider negotiation on our future relationship with the EU. We have not yet begun these negotiations, so it is not possible to set out any positions in advance. However, at every step of this negotiation we will seek to ensure the best possible outcome for the British people, at home and overseas.

    Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2016-10-10.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to reintroduce exchange controls following Brexit.

    Lord Young of Cookham

    The UK has an inflation target, not an exchange rate target, and Her Majesty’s Government does not express a view on the level of exchange rates. Instead, the exchange rate is allowed to adjust flexibly in response to economic conditions and movements in sterling are determined by market forces.

    This framework means we do not need to introduce exchange rate controls.

    Lord Inglewood – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the HM Treasury

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2016-10-10.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the annual tax revenues derived from business activities dependent upon membership of the European Single Market; and what is the UK’s annual net contribution to the EU budget.

    Lord Young of Cookham

    As noted in the previous written answer in question (HL131), there have been no new estimates made for the impact on tax revenue since the EU referendum.

    Details of UK net contributions to the EU Budget over the period 2011-12 to 2015-16 can be found in Table C1, page 194, of the 2016 Public Expenditure Statistical Analyses (Cm 9322) which was published in July. This is available in the House library.

    This table also includes the Office for Budget Responsibility’s March forecast of UK net contributions to the EU Budget for the period 2016-17 to 2019-20.

    United Nation migration statistics from 2015 estimate that there are around 1.2 million British nationals living in the EU.

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Inglewood on 2014-04-09.

    To ask Her Majesty’s Government what is their assessment of the timetable for the negotiations on the United Kingdom’s opt-in to the European Arrest Warrant and other European Union Justice and Home Affairs measures; whether they agree with the statement made by the Presidency of the European Union in note 7519/14 that they will need to finalise their position by June 2014 so that national internal procedures can take place before the summer recess; and if so, whether those procedures will include a debate in the House of Lords on the final text of the instruments.

    Lord Taylor of Holbeach

    As my Rt. Hon. Friend the Home Secretary stated to Parliament on 7 April 2014, Official Report, column 27, ‘Detailed and constructive discussions are taking place with the European Commission and other member states. The Government is keen to avoid the possibility of an operational gap that will ensue if we have not settled the matter before 1 December when the UK’s opt-out takes full effect.

    Our aim is therefore to reach an "in principle" deal well ahead of that date.’ As I stated to the House on 23 January 2014, Official Report, column 846, the Government remains committed ‘to holding another vote on the final package of measures that we will apply to rejoin.’ We remain of the view that Parliament should be given the opportunity to scrutinise this matter fully.
