LGA in Parliament 2019/20 LGA in Parliament 2019/20 The national voice of local government in Parliament “May I begin by sending my thanks to all those working in local government. Their efforts in every village, town and city across the country is making a difference in this national endeavour. Thank you.” Rt Hon Robert Jenrick MP Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government 2 LGA in Parliament 2019/20 Foreword Cllr James Jamieson Chairman Mark Lloyd Chief Executive It is our pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Local Government Association (LGA) in Parliament report. It provides an update on our activities in the Palace of Westminster, including our work with MPs and Peers which remains one of the most important ways in which we ensure your membership association continues to be the national voice of local government. This year’s report is a little different to previous editions. The general election back in December 2019 means that we are currently in the middle of the parliamentary session and a lot of legislation is still being agreed and new proposals will be bought forward in the second half of this year. It has also been a difficult and unprecedented few months as we have faced what I am sure you will agree, is the most serious international public health emergency in our lifetimes. This year’s LGA in Parliament is therefore a work in progress, an update on the issues we have sought to influence on your behalf and an opportunity to remind ourselves of the broad support and high-profile local government continues to enjoy in our politics. Since the pandemic broke councils have played an essential leadership role, supporting their communities and showing once again the value of place-based leadership. Whether it has been protecting lives, supporting the vulnerable or helping businesses, local government has stepped up. Our polling shows an increase in resident satisfaction with councils and we have been making certain your leadership, and the challenges you face, are very much front and centre in the minds of parliamentarians. The pandemic has changed many things. But one thing that it has not changed is our determination to continue to make those important arguments for our sector. Whether it is, to name a few: sustainable funding for local government, the need for a new settlement on devolution, the value of adults and children’s social care services to society, or the importance of delivering a climate smart economy recovery – we continue to press your case nationally. We also continue to see welcome recognition in the corridors of Westminster for our approach to sector-led improvement and its importance in supporting national and local government to deliver services and share best practice. Innovation and improvement regularly features in Parliament, whether it is in response to parliamentary questions, our submissions to select committee inquiries or our briefings for parliamentary debates. Progress has been made since we last updated. Whilst there is still much more to do to secure a sustainable funding settlement for councils, the Government did listen as it brought forward an emergency package of financial support for councils. We’ve also helped shape the government’s thinking on a wide range of issues from giving councils the powers to meet flexibility, to improving personal protective equipment (PPE) delivery by making use of a more local approach, to the delivery of food parcels, to the vulnerable and those shielding. All of these are important decisions that we believe have helped national and local government in the emergency response to COVID-19. LGA in Parliament 2018/19 3 In this report we look specifically at the work of the LGA on behalf of councils in enhancing legislation, influencing parliamentary committees and building the reputation of local government – the three cornerstones of our parliamentary lobbying. The approach has seen us improve the various pieces of legislation that made, or are making, their way through Parliament. We also continue to enjoy great success in our engagement with select committees and All-Party Parliamentary Groups on a wide variety of policy issues. Our thanks to all colleagues from local government who have given evidence on behalf of the LGA, on behalf of one of our Special Interest Groups or on behalf of your own councils. These evidence gathering sessions provide a chance to share ideas and build consensus for local government’s recommendations. Supporting us in all of this are our President, Vice-Presidents and all the MPs and Peers we work with each day. Their efforts enable us to achieve so much more for our councils. We could not be your voice in Parliament without this support and we are very grateful for it. Life never stands still. We are working hard on the big challenges that lie ahead as we look to a ‘new normal’ and local government’s role in rebuilding local communities and economies. We are heading to a Comprehensive Spending Review that must provide councils with the financial sustainability and certainty that they need to continue to support residents whilst delivering key services and helping to support local economies to grow. Our parliamentary lobbying will also be important in supporting our narrative that now is the time to ‘Re-think Local’ as devolution to local areas should be the default position in Whitehall as the Government takes forward its levelling-up agenda and looks to the economic recovery. We will also be redoubling our efforts to make the case for social care and demonstrate why it is so important that these vital services have parity of esteem with the NHS, with both rightly being equally valued for their contributions to our society. And of course, there is much to be done in the months ahead to make the case for a local, democratically accountable planning system. At the LGA we are extremely proud to be ambassadors for local government and this report rightly highlights Parliamentarian’s admiration for councils public service. We are continually inspired by the work at all levels of local government and the strong and ambitious leadership that drives our economic prosperity and resilience. The LGA will be continuing our role ensuring the important voice of local government continues to feature in the national conversation. Cllr James Jamieson Mark Lloyd Chairman Chief Executive 4 LGA in Parliament 2019/20 Introduction The last year has been one of change in been an opportunity to communicate how Westminster.

    Sikh Federation (UK) Never flinch from performing righteous deeds ANNUAL REPORT 2020 WORKING FOR TRUTH, JUSTICE & FREEDOM OVERVIEW A message from the Chairman In the last 6 months major restric�ons have been imposed on our daily lives by the COVID-19 pandemic. The extraordinary response to the unprecedented public health crisis has changed the way we interact with each other whether that be in families, at work and as a community. For Sikhs the concept of Sangat, as opposed to isolated religious prac�ce, is essen�al for our spiritual and moral well-being. For many Sikhs it is only when we are part of the Sangat that we are able to carry out much of our seva. Global poli�cs are now dominated by the pandemic, which has resulted in unparalleled expansion of government power. Restric�ons and the public health crisis will remain un�l an effec�ve vaccine is available. Most commentators predict we are anything from 6-12 months away from a safe and effec�ve vaccine. The full economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic are s�ll unfolding but all governments are expected to struggle for many years with some struggling more than others. The Brexit referendum in 2016 triggered a process of polarisa�on in society that cut across the tradi�onal Bri�sh poli�cal party landscape. Brexit for many years, dominated UK na�onal poli�cs and was the major issue during the December 2019 General Elec�on that returned a Conserva�ve government with a large majority. The Covid-19 pandemic and its a�ermath however has the poten�al to be a poli�cal game-changer in the UK that could completely reshape the Bri�sh poli�cal landscape.
