Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many (a) items of data and (b) performance indicators the Standards Board requires local authorities to submit to it. [319143]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
In the course of each year the Standards Board requires local authority monitoring officers to complete and submit five online returns.
Four are quarterly returns used to collect information on local case handling and legal composition of the local standards committee to enable the Standards Board to fulfil its statutory responsibilities for regulating the conduct regime including, in the worst cases of the standards committee failing to carry out its functions in relation to the conduct of members in a reasonable manner, if necessary, suspending a council's standards committee's initial assessment functions and passing its functions to another authority.
The fifth return is an annual return enabling the Standards Board to disseminate information on best practice across local government.
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government if he will place in the Library copies of the branding and communications advice obtained by the Standards Board in relation to its decision to rebrand itself as Standards for England. [319265]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
I am arranging with the chief executive of the Standards Board for England for a copy of the advice, commissioned by the Standards Board, to be placed in the Library of the House.
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government if he will bring forward proposals to abolish the Standards Board for England. [319327]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
We have no plans to abolish the Standards Board for England.
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government with reference to the answer of 19 October 2009, Official Report, column 1321W, on Standards for England, whether ministerial approval was sought for the rebranding of Standards Board for England as Standards for England; and whether external organisations were contracted to provide services relating to that rebranding. [319365]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
These are operational matters which the Standards Board may progress without ministerial approval.
An external organisation was contracted to provide services relating to the rebranding, at a cost within the delegated authority of the Standards Board.
Supported Housing: Finance
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Bromley and Chislehurst of 26 January 2010, Official Report, columns 773-4W, on supported housing, whether 2 Mar 2010 : Column 1162W
capital funding to areas or projects will be reduced as a consequent on the allocation of £30 million of funding to the places for 16 and 17 year old single parents. [319107]
Mr. Ian Austin:
Capital funding to areas or projects will not be reduced as a consequence of the Prime Minister's announcement in September 2009.
Tenancy Deposit Schemes
Grant Shapps:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what representations his Department has received on recent increases in the cost of joining tenancy deposit schemes. [318729]
Mr. Ian Austin:
The Department has received around 10 representations from letting agents about the Tenancy Deposit Scheme (TDS)'s recent fee increases. TDS is one of the two Government authorised "insurance-based" tenancy deposit protection schemes which landlords pay a fee to join. The custodial tenancy deposit protection scheme, operated by the Deposit Protection Service, remains free to use.
Grant Shapps:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what recent assessment he has made of the profits made by companies operating tenancy deposit schemes; and if he will make a statement. [318730]
Mr. Ian Austin:
No recent assessment of the profits of the companies operating tenancy deposit protection schemes has been made. The three tenancy deposit protection schemes are operated by private companies under contract with Communities and Local Government and are designed to be self-financing.
Tesco: Planning Permission
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government how many planning appeals relating to Tesco supermarkets have been considered by the Planning Inspectorate in the last 24 months. [319015]
Mr. Ian Austin:
In the 24 month period 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009 the Planning Inspectorate received 49 planning appeals and, within the same period, determined 31 planning appeals, where Tesco was either appellant or joint appellant and the development related to a retail outlet.
Working Neighbourhoods Fund
Mr. Stewart Jackson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government what plans he has for the funding of the Working Neighbourhoods Fund beyond 2010. [319225]
Ms Rosie Winterton:
An indicative budget of £507,900,000 has been allocated for 2010-11 as part of the £1.5 billion three year (2008-11) settlement to help local authorities and their partners tackle worklessness.
No decision has yet been taken about the Working Neighbourhoods Fund beyond 2010-11.

Children, Schools and Families
Building Schools for the Future Programme
Mr. Graham Stuart:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how much funding his Department has allocated to the Building Schools for the Future programme to date; [319545]
(2) which schools in England have received funding from the Building Schools for the Future programme to date. [319544]
2 Mar 2010 : Column 1164W
Mr. Coaker [holding answer 1 March 2010]: Funding for Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is released when financial close has been reached for the school concerned. Once this milestone is reached funding is paid in instalments throughout the construction period. Table 2 lists all the schools which had reached financial close at the time of the last quarterly payment run in December 2009. They have all therefore received funding through BSF.
The total amount of funding allocated to the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme is shown in table 1 as follows:
