answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/06/2015 answer text <p>We are legislating in the Childcare Bill to provide all three- and four-year-olds of working parents with 30 hours of free childcare. We have already worked to increase the supply of childcare by making available £2 million in start-up grants for people wishing to set up childcare businesses, supporting more schools to provide places, and establishing Childminder Agencies. The expansion of the entitlement provides a further opportunity for existing childcare providers to expand and for new providers to enter the market.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As set out in our Press Notice of 1 June 2015, we have committed to increase the average childcare funding rates paid to providers. In order to inform this and establish the right balance between being fair to providers and delivering value for money to the taxpayer, we will start a review of funding for the entitlement before the summer.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah grouped question UIN 1086 question first answered 09/06/2015 09:21:03 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2015 answer text <p>The Building Resilience Through Integration and Trust Project has been developed and implemented locally by the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Her Majesty’s Government has not been involved in the design or the delivery of the project. Local authorities and schools are free to develop and implement their own education-related projects. The department has no overview of local projects involving schools, though we do expect all schools to actively promote fundamental British values, which include mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. We would expect that any discussion with pupils involving complex issues should be age appropriate and handled with sensitivity.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Waltham Forest council’s website provides general information on the project: <a href="https://thehub.walthamforest.gov.uk/services-and-support/pupil-support/brit-project" target="_blank">https://thehub.walthamforest.gov.uk/services-and-support/pupil-support/brit-project</a></p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash grouped question UIN HL251 question first answered 08/06/2015 14:13:48 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
