(2) how much funding has been allocated to his Department in each of the next three years. [284265]

For the 2007 CSR period, the planned changed in expenditure for the remaining years is as follows:
| Main programme | Local government | |
Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much funding his Department has allocated to each of its agencies and non-departmental public bodies for (a) 2009-10 and (b) each of the next three years. [283994]

| £000 | ||
| 2009-10 | 2010-11 | |
Fire Services: Equality
Mr. Stewart Jackson: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how much funding has been allocated to fire authorities for the purposes of meeting diversity and equality recruitment targets in each of the last five years. [283999]
Mr. Malik: No funding has been allocated to fire and rescue authorities for the purposes of meeting equality and diversity recruitment targets in each of the last five financial years.
Communities and Local Government has allocated £2 million in total in capital grant for 2009-10 and 2010-11 to those fire and rescue authorities which make a commitment to recruitment targets both for women in the operational sector and for minority ethnic staff across all sectors of their workforce higher than those required by the Fire and Rescue Service equality and diversity strategy. Those fire and rescue authorities that have qualified for capital grant have committed to meet targets by 2013 for a minimum of 18 per cent. of new entrants to the operational service to be women and for recruitment of minority ethnic staff across the whole workforce to be at 2 - 5 per cent. above the minority ethnic representation in the local working population.
Communities and Local Government has allocated £34,482 in capital grant for 2009-10 to each of 29 fire and rescue authorities that have committed to the higher recruitment targets.
Fire Services: Industrial Disputes
Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what arrangements his Department has put in place for contingency fire cover in the event of a national fire fighters' strike. [284338]
Mr. Malik: The Civil Contingencies Act 2004 lays down duties for specified “category 1 responders”, including fire and rescue authorities, to assess, plan and advise in relation to emergencies. For a fire and rescue authority, an emergency includes a period of industrial action. Therefore the provision of contingency fire cover within a fire and rescue authority in the event of industrial action, is the responsibility of that fire and rescue authority, whether the dispute is local or national in extent.
Home Information Packs
Mrs. Spelman: To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government if he will request the Office of Fair Trading to investigate allegations of secret commission payments being made to estate agents by home information pack providers. [283733]
John Healey: The Office of Fair Trading are already undertaking a major study of the home buying and selling process, including competition within the industry and whether the interest of consumers are best served.
