It is envisaged that each of these will also be banning order offences. Where a person or organisation has been convicted of a banning order offence, local authorities will be encouraged to record that information in the database of rogue landlords and property agents. This will enable government to monitor how frequently Rent Repayment Orders are used.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 21/07/2016 15:57:32 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2016 answer text <p>Since 2012 we have provided £500 per pupil funding to secondary schools for year 7 pupils who did not meet the expected standard in reading or mathematics at primary school. This funding enables schools to deliver additional support, such as individual tuition or intensive support in small groups, for those pupils that most need it.</p><p>While this funding applied for the period of the spending review, to 2015-16, on 7 July 2016 we announced that schools will receive catch-up funding in 2016-17. Schools will receive the same total amount of funding they received in 2015-16 adjusted to reflect the percentage change in the size of their year 7 cohort. We will not know the final amount for each pupil in 2016-17 until the allocations have been determined based on data from the autumn 2016 schools census.</p><p>We will make an announcement about the future of the year 7 catch-up premium in due course.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb grouped question UIN 43006 question first answered 21/07/2016 16:22:16 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
