To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the Social Housing Regulator's (a) oversight and (b) scrutiny of housing association mergers.
To ask the Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities, what assessment he has made of the adequacy of the Social Housing Regulator's (a) oversight and (b) scrutiny of housing association mergers.
Registered providers of social housing are required to comply with the regulatory standards set by the independent body, the Regulator of Social Housing. These include a 'Governance and Financial Viability standard' which requires, amongst other things, that private registered providers ensure they have effective governance arrangements that deliver their aims, objectives and intended outcomes for tenants in an effective, transparent and accountable manner. Among other things, those arrangements shall ensure that they are accountable to tenants, the Regulator and relevant stakeholders. These same requirements apply before and after any merger.
In addition, the Regulator's Tenant Involvement and Empowerment Standard requires that where a registered provider is considering a merger that will entail a change in landlord for one or more of their tenants, they must consult with affected tenants in a fair, timely, appropriate and effective manner. The proposals must set out clearly any actual or potential advantages and disadvantages (including costs) to tenants and the registered provider must be able to show how they have taken account of the views of affected tenants in reaching a decision.
The Regulator does not have a direct role to play in assessing the merits of potential mergers. As a consequence of measures introduced in the Housing and Planning Act 2016, non-profit registered providers are no longer required to seek the Regulator's consent for restructures. They are, however, required to notify the Regulator when undertaking certain corporate restructures, including mergers.
It is for the Board of a registered provider to carefully consider the option of a merger taking into account all of the necessary requirements.
Housing associations are independent organisations and Government does not control the way in which they run their business or form their organisational structure. It would not be appropriate for the Department to comment on the merits of this particular merger.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total value of redundancy payments made to former employees of the Tenant Services Authority as a result of the decision to abolish that organisation.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what was the total value of redundancy payments made to former employees of the Tenant Services Authority as a result of the decision to abolish that organisation.
The Office for Tenants and Social Landlords (known as The Tenant Services Authority) ceased to exist from 31 March 2012. All staff were transferred under TUPE regulations to the Homes and Communities Agency from 1 April 2012, with the exception of the Managing Director. It was agreed that the post of Managing Director would not transfer and that the post should be deleted from the establishment from that date. A redundancy payment of £47,675 was made, together with enhanced pension contributions of £148,568.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many tenants served on (1) the board of the Tenants Services Authority, and (2) the regulatory committee of the Homes and Communities Agency.[HL2716]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many tenants served on (1) the board of the Tenants Services Authority, and (2) the regulatory committee of the Homes and Communities Agency.[HL2716]
All members of the Tenant Services Authority's Board and the Homes and Communities Agency's Regulation Committee were appointed on merit on the basis of fair and open competition.
The Homes and Communities Agency does not collect information about the housing tenures of its non-executives and neither did the Tenant Services Authority up until its abolition. However any members of the Homes and Communities Agency Regulation Committee (and previously the Tenant Services Authority Board) who are tenants of registered social housing providers would be expected to declare this on their register of interests. No member of the Homes and Communities Agency Regulation Committee has declared such an interest. At the point of its abolition, two members of the Tenant Services Authority Board had declared that they were tenants of registered social housing providers.

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. The Act applies to more offences than throwing things out of motor cars, so have there been any convictions for other litter offences without this problem of motor cars?
