This is especially crucial the key issues of the day. The comment which struck for housing services, as the new proposed authorities will me most was from my predecessor Keith Edwards, have a mix of retained and non-retained stock housing who wrote in 2014; functions merging together.

What is a Conservative government seemed unlikely, as did the right size local authority for housing? Is there a trade- the prospect of right to buy being extended to housing off between economies of scale and closeness to the associations in England, and we had no idea what the customer?

What services will automatic entitlement to housing benefit away from under local authorities deliver and which do they expect to pass 21s and the prospect of a reduction in social rents are on to RSLs? How should housing organisations and people announced so frequently it’s hard for anyone in the sector not in local government respond to the need to divest to keep up with the changes or have time to understand services and how can we ensure this is a partnership, not the impact to their organisation before the next new policy a dumping of responsibility? is announced.

  • The Welsh Seal of the National Assembly for Wales
    The Welsh Seal of the National Assembly for Wales The Great Seal of the Realm is the chief seal of the Crown, used to show the Monarch's approval of important state documents. The practice of using this seal began in the reign of Edward the Confessor in the eleventh century, when a double-sided metal matrix with an image of the Sovereign was used to make an impression in wax for attachment by ribbon or cord to Royal documents. The seal meant that the monarch did not need to sign every official document in person; authorisation could be carried out instead by an appointed officer. Between 2007 and 2011 proposed Measures passed by the National Assembly for Wales were subject to “Royal Approval”. Separate Great Seals exist for Scotland and Northern Ireland and, from 2011, a Seal for Wales now exists. Royal Assent Royal Assent is the Monarch's agreement to make a Bill into an Act of the National Assembly for Wales. Royal Assent is conferred by the Monarch signing Letters Patent under the Welsh Seal. The Monarch's agreement to give her assent to a Bill is automatic. Student Research Look for examples of Seals using your school library, local library and the internet. Also research Signet Rings which were worn as jewellery and used by individuals to seal their initials or coat of arms into wax seals on important documents and letters.

  • Guildford Borough Council Housing Strategy Interim Statement 2011
    Guildford Borough Council Housing Strategy Interim Statement 2011 1 Foreword Councillor Sarah Creedy Lead Councillor for Housing and Social Care I am very pleased to introduce the Interim Housing Strategy Statement 2011 for the borough. This statement builds on the work done by the Council and its partners since the 2005 Housing Strategy was published, and outlines how we will continue to provide opportunity and choice for people wanting to live in the borough. We are in a period of considerable uncertainty around both government policy and the economy, therefore rather than produce a further five-year strategy it seems sensible to publish this as an interim statement which will be updated at the end of the financial year 2011-12. Further consultation planned for November will contribute to an update of this statement and to the formulation of a tenancy strategy, once more detail is available on the Government’s plans for affordable housing. The interim statement outlines the sites identified as priorities for affordable housing development in the borough, via the Surrey Local Investment Plan (LIP). This statement includes our plans for the provision of new affordable housing, improving the condition of existing homes, providing housing for people with special needs, and preventing homelessness. Appendices include a summary of some of the main changes proposed by the Government and an Empty Homes Strategy, which is an important part of our plans to improve housing supply. I would like to thank all the residents, housing providers and other interested parties who gave valuable input to the consultation for this strategy statement.

No NA What is the problem under consideration? Why is government intervention necessary? The Wales Bill provides the legislative framework to support the implementation of the recommendations made in the Commission on Devolution in Wales's (Silk Commission) Part I report, published in November 2012 and the green paper on future electoral arrangements for the National Assembly for Wales ("the Assembly") published in May 2012. What are the policy objectives and the intended effects? The Bill would move the Assembly to five year fixed terms with the aim of making it less likely that Assembly elections would coincide with UK parliamentary elections, and introduce additional electoral provisions to make Assembly elections fairer. The Bill devolves tax and borrowing powers to the Assembly and the Welsh Ministers, giving the Welsh Government more tools to promote economic growth and grow the Welsh economy, and making the devolved institutions more accountable by making them accountable for raising some of the money they spend. What policy options have been considered, including any alternatives to regulation? Please justify preferred option (further details in Evidence Base) The provisions relating to elections to the Assembly were subject to a public consultation between May and August 2012.
