answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>No such assessment has been made of the impact of inflation on pensioners in (a) Enfield North constituency, (b) the London Borough of Enfield and (c) London.</p><p> </p><p>The Government understands the pressures people are facing with the cost of living and is taking action to help. Overall, we are providing total support of over £94bn over 2022/23 and 2023/24 to help households and individuals with the rising cost of bills. This includes 8.7m pensioner households who received a £300 Cost of Living Payment last winter as an addition to the Winter Fuel Payment. Pensioners will also receive a further £300 additional payment later this year in their Winter Fuel Payment.</p><p> </p><p>In April, the State Pension saw its biggest ever rise, increasing by 10.1%. The full yearly amount of the basic State Pension will be over £3,050 higher, in cash terms, than in 2010. That’s £790 more than if it had been uprated by Prices, and £945 more than if it had been uprated by earnings (since 2010).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 14/11/2023 16:03:51 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2022 answer text <p>The Government recognises industry preference for legislative certainty to deliver ECO4. However, ECO4 delivery from 1 April 2022, prior to legislation, will still count under the scheme when legislation is in place. Furthermore, the supply chain may continue to deliver to previous ECO3 rules until the end of June 2022, subject to minor amendments. Suppliers have four years to deliver their obligation, and there is not likely to be a financial impact as a result of the legislative timetable.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 16/05/2022 16:01:41 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/05/2021 answer text <p>The Department recognises that extended school and college restrictions have had a substantial impact on children and young people’s education. We are committed to helping pupils make up education lost due to the COVID-19 outbreak. To address this challenge, my right hon. Friend, the Prime Minister, committed to working with parents, teachers, schools and colleges to develop a long-term plan to help schools and colleges support pupils to make up their education over the course of this Parliament.</p><p>In addition, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has appointed Sir Kevan Collins as Education Recovery Commissioner to advise on the development of the long-term recovery plan. Sir Kevan will engage with parents, pupils, and teachers in advising on the development of this plan and review how evidence-based interventions can be used to address the impact the COVID-19 outbreak has had on education. Further details will be shared in due course.</p><p>On literacy specifically, the Government is committed to continuing to raise literacy standards, ensuring all children, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, can read fluently and with understanding. The Government will continue to work closely with a wide range of organisations, including businesses, to achieve this aim, and values the contribution of businesses to supporting children’s education. For example, in June 2020 we announced a £1 billion catch-up package, including a National Tutoring Programme and a catch-up premium for this academic year. In February 2021, we committed to further funding of £700 million to fund summer schools, the expansion of our tutoring programmes, and a recovery premium for the next academic year. Funding will support pupils across nurseries, schools, and 16-19 colleges.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/05/2021 13:07:18 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2020 answer text <p>Part M (Access to and Use of Buildings) of the Building Regulations sets minimum access standards for all new buildings. The M4(2) standard for accessible and adaptable homes, set out in statutory guidance, is broadly equivalent to the independent Lifetime Homes standard. Planning guidance on housing for older and disabled people published last summer strengthened the link between plan making and requirement M4(2) for new homes. Government will also consult shortly on raising accessibility standards, recognising the importance of suitable homes for older and disabled people.</p> answering member constituency Tamworth answering member printed Christopher Pincher question first answered 18/02/2020 16:28:28 answering member 4075 label Biography information for Christopher Pincher
