answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/11/2017 answer text <p>Our <em>‘Review of Childcare Costs’</em> looked at both the current costs of childcare provision and the implications of future cost pressures facing the sector, including the National Living Wage. Our new funding rates are based on this review, which was described as “thorough and wide ranging” by the National Audit Office.</p><p>The government will be investing £1 billion a year to deliver 30 hours of free childcare and increase our hourly funding rates for the free entitlements. The government’s total hourly funding rate for three and four-year-olds (national average to local councils) increased from £4.56 to £4.94 in April 2017. This compares very favourably with research into the cost of childcare, published by Frontier Economics in July 2017, which shows that the mean hourly delivery cost of a three/four-year-old place was £3.72.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 27/11/2017 17:03:20 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Prevent Programme is fundamentally about safeguarding and supporting vulnerable individuals to stop them from becoming terrorists or supporting terrorism. In June, the Prime Minister outlined the Government’s commitment to review the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy (CONTEST), drawing on lessons learned from the recent attacks earlier this year. As the threat we face from terrorism becomes more complex, our strategy needs to evolve with it. The Prevent Strategy is being assessed as part of this review.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 21/11/2017 15:28:40 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

uin	114591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2017 answer text <p>The Minimum Income Floor is expected to encourage those reporting very low self-employed income to increase their earnings. Some people will respond to this by increasing their earnings from self-employment, others will look for other employment to increase their income and it is applied equally across all sectors of self-employment.</p><p> </p><p>The Minimum Income Floor is modelled using the Policy Simulation Model and Integrated Microsimulation Model (INFORM) where we apply it to the Universal Credit award calculation for the projected population of Universal Credit self-employed claimants.</p><p>The Minimum Income Floor is calculated, as per policy, based on claimants characteristics i.e. National Minimum Wage/National Living Wage (which is a function of age), tax bracket and maximum work search requirement for a given claimant type.</p><p>A more detailed modelling methodology of Universal Credit forecasts is likely to be published by Office for Budget Responsibility in 2018 as a part of their Welfare Trends Report series.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 23/11/2017 16:30:14 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
