answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2019 answer text <p>On Secondary National Offer Day on 1 March, the vast majority of parents will have been offered a place at one of their preferred schools. The 2018 data showed that last year more than nine in ten pupils got a place at one of their top three choices setting them on the path for a successful future. Standards have also risen since 2010 with 86% of schools now judged as good or outstanding, compared to 68% in 2010, meaning there are more good schools for parents to send their children to.</p><p>The Department has committed £7 billion between 2015 and 2021 to deliver new school places, which is on top of investment in the free schools programme. The latest data shows that 825,000 additional places were created between May 2010 and May 2017, with many more delivered since then and in the pipeline. The Department is on track to create 1 million new school places this decade, the largest increase in school capacity in two generations.</p><p>Local authorities are responsible for arranging suitable full-time education for permanently excluded pupils, and for other pupils who (because of illness or other reasons) would not receive suitable education without such provision.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/03/2019 09:28:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb previous answer version 107710 answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/03/2019 answer text <p>The police funding settlement for 2019/20 increases overall funding for the police by around £970 million, including additional pensions funding and income from Council Tax. Following the announcement of the settlement, Police and Crime Commissioners have set out plans to recruit nearly 3,000 extra police officers.</p><p><br>The Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on 13 March an additional £100 million funding in 2019/20, including £80m of new funding from the Treasury. This will help in the police’s immediate response to the rise in serious knife crime, enabling priority forces to immediately begin planning to put in place the additional capacity they need. The funding will also be invested in Violence Reduction Units, bringing together a range of agencies including health, education, social services and others, to develop a multi-agency approach in preventing serious violence altogether. It is important that we recognise that greater law enforcement on its own will not reduce serious violence and that we must continue to focus on prevention.</p><p>The majority of the investment will go towards supporting police forces where violent crime is impacting the most, to take immediate action to suppress the violence we are seeing, to make our streets safer. We are engaging with partners including the National Police Chiefs’ Council and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners and we are developing the criteria by which forces will receive this funding.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 14/03/2019 16:33:51 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
