answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/05/2018 answer text <p>To tackle the inequalities that children face, in 2018-19 we’re giving schools £5.5 billion to support disadvantaged children. Over half a million of the country’s most disadvantaged 2 year olds have received free early education since the offer was introduced in 2014. And thanks to the government’s strong record on employment, since 2010, 598,000 fewer children are now living in workless households.</p><p> </p><p>The Government sets budgets through the Spending Review process, where we assess all departmental budgets and spending priorities in the round. At annual fiscal events the Government can make adjustments to these plans. In the last budget, this government was more transparent than any other: publishing detailed analysis of the impact of policy decisions on households of different incomes.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 02/05/2018 12:50:51 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
