Mr. David Atkinson: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what the increase in (a) Standard
Spending Assessment and (b) council tax between the previous and current financial years was for (i) Bournemouth, (ii) Brighton and
(iii) Blackpool; and if he will make a statement. [158246]
Ms Beverley Hughes: Standard Spending Assessments (SSAs) are a means of distributing a given total of grant which takes account of
the demographic, physical and social characteristics of an area. Council tax levels are a matter for local authorities, which have
to answer to their voters. SSA and council tax increases for 2001-02 are given in the table:
_________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Borough council Standard Spending Assessment increase Authority's own council tax increase (Band
(percentage) D) (percentage)
Bournemouth 3.4 10.0
Brighton and Hove 5.9 6.0
Blackpool 4.2 12.1

Mr. Peter Bottomley: To ask the Solicitor-General if he will review the decisions taken by the Crown Prosecution Service following
the fatal attack on Jay Abatan in Brighton in January 1999, following the findings of the review by Essex police into the handling
of the case in Sussex. [157143]
The Solicitor-General: The aim of review by the Essex police into the fatal attack on Jay Abatan was to examine the conduct of the
investigation by Sussex police officers. The review was commissioned by the Sussex police. The Crown Prosecution Service in Sussex
has not yet received a copy of the review but remain willing to consider any findings relating to the way the CPS dealt with the
prosecution of the case.
I explained in a detailed written answer on 24 May 2000, Official Report, columns 528-31W, when responding to a question put down by
the hon. Member, that the decisions made by the Sussex Crown Prosecution Service were entirely satisfactory, given the evidence
produced by the initial police investigation. I am willing to reconsider that conclusion in the light of any findings of the review.
Sussex police have appointed a new investigation team. Consistent with this fresh start, the Chief Crown Prosecutor for CPS Sussex
made arrangements for a senior lawyer from Hampshire Crown Prosecution Service to deal with any prosecution which may result from
the new investigation.

Mr. Lepper: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security, pursuant to his answer of 23 March 2001, Official Report, column 370W
on single room rent, what representations he has received concerning the impact of the single room rent in Brighton and Hove; what
assessment he has undertaken of the likely impact of the proposed new young person's rent regulations in Brighton and Hove; and what
consideration was given in drafting the proposed new young person's rent regulations to the submission sent to him by the hon.
Member for Brighton, Pavillion on behalf of various agencies in Brighton and Hove. [156647]
Angela Eagle: I am aware of my hon. Friend's representations on behalf of Brighton and Hove to the effect that the current rules
were too restrictive and that they should be eased. We gave full consideration to these representations as we did to others. The new
rules from July this year are therefore designed to better reflect what the market generally has to offer on a national basis.
Moreover, local authorities will have the discretion to provide additional support in individual cases under the new arrangements
for Discretionary Housing Payments, which will also apply from July. We are considering how best to monitor their operation.
Our objectives for the single room rent are to ensure that young people have access to accommodation so that they can concentrate on
finding work, balanced against our aim of making sure that the benefit system does not provide out of work young adults with better
housing than their working peers could afford. We made these objectives clear, including the option of broadening the definition of
the single room rent, in our Housing Green Paper "Quality and Choice: A decent home for all" on which we consulted widely.

Maria Eagle: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will announce the result of the competition for city status
to mark the Millennium. [143421]
Mr. Mike O'Brien: I am pleased to announce that, on the advice of my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister, Her Majesty The Queen has
commanded that city status should be granted to Brighton and Hove, Inverness and Wolverhampton to mark the Millennium.
Although the grant of the honour remains a rare mark of distinction, The Queen accepted the Prime Minister's recommendation to grant
city status to more than one town to commemorate the Millennium. City status will be granted by Letters Patent, which will now be
prepared for presentation to Brighton and Hove, Inverness and Wolverhampton in due course.
The unsuccessful applicants will, of course, be disappointed not to have been honoured on this occasion. The quality of the 39
applications received was very high, however, and demonstrated the pride in their communities felt by local people in towns across
the United Kingdom. They will all have an opportunity for their applications to be considered again, for the grant of city status to
mark Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee in 2002. The Queen has agreed to the Prime Minister's recommendation that Her Jubilee should be
marked, exceptionally, by grants of city status to a suitably qualified town in each of Wales, Northern Ireland, England and
Scotland.
My officials will now initiate a review of the procedures used in the Millennium competition. Further details of the Golden Jubilee
competition will be announced during the first half of next year.
