answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>Data from local authority planned spend for 2016-17 shows that nationally local authorities plan to centrally retain 7% (£149 million) of their delegated budget for three and four year olds and 7% (£36m) for the two year old entitlement. The total local authority delegated budget for three and four year olds is £2.3 billion and £523 million for two year olds. This excludes the planned budget for the early years pupil premium.</p><p> </p><p>This data is as reported by the local authorities.</p><p> </p><p>Our recent consultation on changes to funding for three- and four-year-olds proposed that all local authorities must pass 93% in 2017-18 then 95% in 2018-19 of early years funding to providers. This would maximise funding to the frontline.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 07/11/2016 17:56:03 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
