Supplementary questions

Q1 Mrs Watson expressed disappointment that an out of date figure was still on the Surrey County Council website and requested that it was amended. The Leader agreed to this request. However, he pointed out that £104m savings were required this year to balance the Council’s budget but that £150m savings would be required to provide a balanced and sustainable budget for the current year.

Q3 Mrs White asked the Cabinet to explain why the Government could provide £1billion of funding for Northern Ireland but could not provide Surrey with sufficient funding for its Housing Related Support. The Leader of the Council said that it would be inappropriate for him to comment of that Government proposal. However, the Cabinet Member for Adults confirmed that where Surrey residents qualified for a personal assessment for Housing Related Support, they would receive it.
