	uin	HL415
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>Schools and local authorities have had the power to issue penalty notices since 2004.</p><p>Every local authority must draw up a Code of Conduct for issuing penalty notices, in consultation with governing bodies and head teachers in their area. The Code will set out the occasions when it will be appropriate to issue a penalty notice. This can for example include circumstances where a pupil is persistently late to school without a valid reason. A penalty notice must be issued in accordance with that Code.</p><p>There is no formal appeals process where a parent is issued with a penalty notice and they deem this to be incorrect; however, parents can discuss their situation with the local authority and ask for the penalty notice to be withdrawn. If the penalty notice has not been paid in full by end of the 28 day period allowed for payment and if the local authority has not commenced prosecution of the parent and is not contemplating doing so, it must withdraw the penalty notice.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 12/07/2017 11:46:30 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/07/2017 answer text <p>We are making record investments in the government’s free childcare offer: over £1 billion more per year by 2020. This includes £300 million per year for a significant increase to the hourly rates paid for two, three and four-year-old entitlement. From April 2017, the national average funding rates also increased to £4.94 for three and four-year-olds and £5.39 for two-year-olds. We are also investing £100m in capital funding to create nearly 18,000 additional places for eligible children to help meet demand from hardworking parents. This investment will support even more providers to deliver 30 hours.</p><p> </p><p>In addition our national delivery contractor, Childcare Works, are supporting all local authorities to ensure they are ready to deliver the required number of free places in September 2017. Local authorities report that they have benefitted from support with estimating demand in their local areas.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 12/07/2017 12:16:37 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
