	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>On 12 December 2016, I set out the scope of the 2017 review of automatic enrolment. On 8 February 2017 I set out further detail on the review, including its terms of reference and the membership of the external advisory group.</p><p> </p><p>Through the review we will be seeking to build on the success of automatic enrolment to date. So far over 7.1 million individuals have been automatically enrolled into a workplace pension by more than 370,000 employers. The review will look at how we can ensure that automatic enrolment continues to meet the needs of individuals saving for their retirement in the future, and that the technical operation of the policy is working as intended.</p><p> </p><p>It is important that we begin early conversations around the central issues covered by the review of automatic enrolment, and I recognise people are keen to engage on these. That is why on 8 February 2017 I published a set of initial questions on the main themes, including coverage, engagement and future contributions. I have invited views and evidence by 22 March 2017 to help inform our considerations. We will, of course, formally consult on any proposals that require legislative change.</p><p> </p><p>As I set out in my previous statement, my Department’s work will be supported by an external advisory group.</p><p> </p><p>The three co-chairs of the group are:</p><ul><li>Jamie Jenkins (Head of Pensions Strategy, Standard Life), who will support the work around the theme of coverage of automatic enrolment;</li><li>Ruston Smith (Trustee Director at Peoples’ Pension), who will support the work around strengthening personal engagement with work place pensions, and;</li><li>Chris Curry (Director, Pensions Policy Institute), who will support the work which begins to develop the evidence base on future contributions.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The other members of this group are:</p><p> </p><p>Carl Emmerson, Deputy Director, Institute of Fiscal Studies</p><p>Jane Vass, Head of public policy, Age UK</p><p>Neil Carberry, Director for people and skills, Confederation of British Industry</p><p>Linda Ellett, KPMG, partner – Tax and Pensions Practice</p><p>Nigel Stanley, NEST Members’ Panel, Chair</p><p>Jocelyn Blackwell, Trustee Director NOW: Pensions</p><p>Judith Hogarth, Employment and Pensions, EEF</p><p> </p><p>I am delighted to be working with a team representing such a breadth of experience and expertise and look forward to the insight they will bring to help shape the review and any proposals. We will of course reach out to others as part of this review, including intermediary organisations such as employer consultants and payroll firms.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Towards the end of this year I will publish a report to Parliament.</p><p> </p><p>A copy of the terms of reference and the initial questions for the review are available at <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/expert-advisory-group-appointed-to-the-automatic-enrolment-review" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/news/expert-advisory-group-appointed-to-the-automatic-enrolment-review</a>.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 14/02/2017 15:39:35 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford

	tabling member constituency	Tynemouth
	tabling member printed	Mr Alan Campbell
	uin	63118
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/02/2017 answer text <p>Schools are currently funded through the formula set by their local authority, which often uses factors such as low prior attainment and free school meals to give an estimate of the number of pupils with special educational needs (SEN) a school is likely to have. Where the cost of additional support for a child with SEN in the mainstream schools exceeds £6,000, the local authority also provides top-up funding to the school from its high needs budget. Local authorities can also give additional funding from their high needs budgets to schools that have a high concentration of pupils with SEN.</p><p> </p><p>We are currently consulting on proposals for new national funding formulae for both schools and high needs, which will be introduced in 2018-19. These proposals will not change the flexibility that local authorities have to move funding from their high needs budgets to schools.</p><p> </p><p>As a result of our proposals, North Tyneside Council’s funding for high needs pupils would increase by 1.8% and schools in the area would see, on average, a 0.6% increase in their funding</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/02/2017 09:42:40 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
