Dr. Lynne Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions what the total amount is (a) of early
redemption penalties and (b) overhanging debt paid from central Government funds to enable the transfer of council housing to
registered social landlords; and if he will list the advantages of early redemption of debt. [134731]
Mr. Mullin: Under the arrangements for dealing with overhanging debt announced to the House by my hon. Friend the Minister for
Housing and Planning on 16 December 1999, Official Report, column 250W, local authorities are responsible for meeting the cost of
early redemption penalties either from the capital receipt arising from the transfer of housing stock or from within their existing
resources. Since the arrangements came into force we have made one-off payments to Burnley Borough Council and Coventry City Council
to assist them repay outstanding principal of their Public Works Loan Board (PWLB) loans. The sum total of both payments was
£132.696 million.
The advantages of early debt redemption are twofold. First, a mechanism to deal with overhanging debt makes housing transfer a
realistic option for a wider range of authorities where investment is most needed. I understand that the total capital investment
over the next 30 years in the housing stock transferred by Coventry City Council and Burnley Borough Council is estimated to be over
£1 billion. Second, a one-off payment to assist an authority repay outstanding PWLB loans is simpler--for both local and central
government--than the alternative of leaving an authority's Housing Revenue Account open, despite the transfer of stock, and for the
Exchequer to subsidise the overhanging debt for many years.

Mr. Goggins: To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security when he expects to publish the inspection report of the Benefit Fraud
Inspectorate in respect of Burnley Borough Council. [135677]
Mr. Rooker: The Benefit Fraud Inspectorate report in respect of Burnley Borough Council was published on 5 October, during
parliamentary recess. Copies of the report have been placed in the Library.
The report provides recommendations aimed at helping the council address weaknesses and to improve the administration of Housing
Benefit and Council Tax Benefit, as well as their respective counter-fraud activities.
The BFI reports that, at the time of the inspection, the council was providing a poor service to claimants, particularly in the time
taken to process many claims. The report identifies weaknesses in the council's application of the Verification Framework (VF) and a
failure to ensure all appropriate references had been made to the Rent Officer.
The report notes that little action had been taken by the council to address potential problems associated with private landlord
cases which make up a high proportion of the claims case load and represent one of the highest risk areas. BFI identified that the
council needs to introduce effective liaison arrangements with its local landlords and for relevant information to be collected so
that risks can be assessed.
Inspectors report that the work of the counter-fraud section was not managed effectively and there was a need for the council to use
its fraud database to analyse risk categories and prosecute offenders where appropriate.
During the inspection, the council was planning to clear arrears of work and recruit and train additional staff. The BFI considered
work backlogs needed to be tackled as a matter of urgency. A reduction in delays for processing claims and tightening the
application of the VF in the areas specified in the BFI report could, inspectors say, greatly improve the service provided to
claimants, and, at the same time, tighten the gateway to benefits.
My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State is now considering the report and has asked the council for their proposals in response
to the findings and recommendations of the BFI.
