	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/05/2019 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to ringfence funding for statutory youth workers and services. Providing councils with the freedom to use funds in a way that responds to local needs and priorities and avoiding the ringfencing of specific funds, is key to ensuring financial sustainability and sound financial management on the part of authorities themselves.</p><p>The 2019-20 settlement confirmed that Core Spending Power is forecast to increase from £45.1 billion in 2018-19 to £46.4 billion in 2019-20. This is a cash-increase of 2.8 per cent and a real-terms increase in resources available to local authorities. This recognises both the growing pressure on local government’s services and higher-than-expected inflation levels.</p> answering member constituency Richmond (Yorks) answering member printed Rishi Sunak question first answered 01/05/2019 14:57:56 answering member 4483 label Biography information for Rishi Sunak
