Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government pursuant to the answer of 28 February 2011, Official Report, column 105W, on the Audit Commission: consultants, what the name is of each councillor paid by the Audit Commission for consultancy work in the last three years for which figures are available; and how much has been paid to each such councillor in that period.
Answer

This is an operational matter for the Audit Commission and I have asked the chief executive of the Audit Commission to respond to my hon. Friend direct.Letter from Eugene Sullivan, dated 23 June 2011:"Your parliamentary question has been passed to me for reply.""The Audit Commission has made payments to councillors from April 2008 to March 2011, as detailed in the appendix.""The Improvement and Development Agency (IDeA) Peer Clearing House sourced and accredited councillor peers.""The payments were for peer councillor contribution to the nationally agreed programmes of council corporate assessments, as part of Comprehensive Performance Assessment (CPA) and for Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) judgements that were being formulated for 2010. Input by elected members was a key component of the process to ensure all judgements took full account of peer and practitioner experience.""Peer Councillors were paid a standard national daily rate for each day they were on site. In 2008/09 this varied from £200 to ""£300 per day, depending on the type of work. In 2009/10 this became a single rate of £300. Travel costs were paid in addition."
