	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>Tax-Free Childcare is available to all parents that earn above the equivalent of 16 hours per week at minimum wage and below £100k. It is therefore available to working parents regardless of where they work and includes the self-employed, making it fairer and more accessible than the offer it replaces – childcare vouchers. It is also paid per child rather than per parent, so lone parents can access the same support as couples, and parents get more support as their childcare costs rise.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed to carry out a post-implementation review, two years after the implementation of Tax-Free Childcare to evaluate the impact of the scheme, including on the labour market.</p><p> </p><p>Details on Tax-Free Childcare usage up to September 2019 can be found in the official statistics publication. <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tax-free-childcare-statistics-september-2019" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/tax-free-childcare-statistics-september-2019</a></p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 03/02/2020 13:06:20 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak

	tabling member printed	Ms Angela Eagle
	uin	9594
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/02/2020 answer text <p>The National Funding Formula commits extra funding for pupils with additional needs, based on levels of deprivation, low prior attainment, English as an additional language and mobility. This is because evidence shows that pupils with these characteristics are more likely to fall behind, and need extra support to reach their full potential. In 2020-21, £6.3 billion will be allocated in the National Funding Formula for 5-16-year olds with additional needs in England. Areas with high levels of additional needs will attract more funding.</p><p>Next year, primary schools and secondary schools in Wallasey will, on average, attract £4,328 and £5,813 per pupil respectively. This reflects a 4.1% increase in per pupil funding when compared to this year.</p><p>In Wirral, primary and secondary schools will, on average, attract £4,146 and £5,439 per pupil respectively next year. This reflects a 3.9% increase in per pupil funding compared to this year.</p><p>For the local authorities that make up the Merseyside area (Knowsley, Liverpool, St Helens, Sefton and Wirral), this totals to a cash increase of £43.6 million in additional schools funding when compared to last year, which is a 4.3% increase in their total cash funding.</p><p>For the North West region, primary and secondary schools will, on average, attract £4,281 and £5,459 per pupil respectively. This reflects a 4.0% increase in per pupil funding compared to last year.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 03/02/2020 13:59:53 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
